OPTIV is a name firmly embedded in both the forefront and deep memory of any true fan of drum & bass. He emerged into the scene with the seminal Cause4Concern sound, which made an enduring mark that influenced many of today’s great artists, including Noisia, and helped to mould the tech aesthetic that we –know today. The Optiv moniker erupted into existence a few years after the establishment of Cause4Concern, with the founding of his own label Red Light Records in 2002, an imprint that continues to be influential in both launching the careers of promising artists such as Inward, Hanzo & Randie, Impak as well as putting out high quality audio from established artists such as Tobax, Telekinesis, The Upbeats and Black Sun Empire. This is in addition to running the pioneering C4C Recordings imprint, that’s been committed to pushing forward-thinking tech for close to two decades now.
Over the course of Optiv’s prolific and long-running solo career, he’s released on a significant range of labels, including leading taste-makers such as Virus, Playaz, Blackout, Subtitles, Eatbrain, Hospital, Shogun Audio, Invisible and Dispatch to name just a few. His commitment to a pure analogue sound, inspired by his techno and electro roots, in combination with a stripped aesthetic that requires audio purity, has ensured that his sound remains both timeless and ahead of the pack. With years of experience behind him to apply to the dance, as well as his immaculate sense for freshness, Optiv is a tried and tested artist who continues to make a significant impact on the drum & bass sphere.

SUBTONE (D.Russell) // FORTRESS (D.Russell & T.Chamberland)

FULL FORCE (Label Manager) / Citrus / DSCi4 / Vandal / Cyanide / Syndrome / Revolution / Disturbed / Symptom / Random / Trotch / Trans:verse / High Grade / Love Breakz / Metaphor / Explicit / Resolute / Dubmission / Spun etc..

With well over 30 internationally distributed tracks released on vinyl, spanning multiple genres, and many more scheduled for release in the near future, not many Canadian d'n'b producers can compete with this man's production credentials. As a solo artist and as one half of the duo 'Fortress', his tracks have received major support from some of the industry’s biggest outfits including Noisia, Teebee, Ed Rush and Optical, Klute, Total Science, Break, Loxy, Hybris, Xtrah, C4C, Concord Dawn, State of Mind and many, many more. 

The New Zealand born dual national has toured in Europe and the US, playing before crowds of over 3000 and collaborated with such artists as Mayhem, Loxy, Nphect and Dizplay, Raiden, and Catacomb. Having established the 'Portal Productions' promotional outfit and held down residencies at Montreal's long standing KO drum 'n' bass events, running his own night “Kiss My Bass” at Cabaret Underworld as well as a residency at the internationally renown club Circus Afterhours, he has a lot going on both internationally and locally in Montreal. To top it all off, he runs his own fully featured private recording studio and is an honours student enrolled in a double major (Electroacoustics and Computer Science) at Concordia University.

2015 is shaping up to be a big comeback year for Subtone. His track “Ivory”, in collaboration with Knox, was rated as Knowledge Magazine’s favourite cut from Vandal Records’ recent Various Artists Decade LP. “Proverbial” on Full Force just hit the shelves, cracking the top 50 on Beatport. He was also recently appointed the position of Label Manager for Full Force Recordings. If you are lucky enough to see him behind the decks, expect to hear nothing but the freshest dubplates from the scene's heaviest hitters, as well as his own unique brand of futuristic funk.

 I've been producing for years on ableton live, bought my electribe in 2002, and start to listen Techno about that time. I had really been introducing to House music when I start to party at (((Stereo)))... My all life had change when I saw Danny Tenaglia for the first time. After 2 years of fidelity, every week-end, to (((stereo))) sound system, I try to recreate the sounds I was listening there with the few gear I have home: my comp, an electribe and my MPC 1000.
I hope you will enjoy it... MUSIC IS THE ANSWER !!!!
