One could say Griffin Bourjeaurd is a bit of a musical nomad. Born in Toronto, raised between Texas and BC, and currently residing in Los Angeles, one element that has remained constant throughout his life is music. Growing up with a father in a band, Griffin has been playing instruments for a majority of his life. However, it wasn’t until 2008 when he began producing his own tracks, and shortly after took up the art of DJing. 

Although music has always been his vital passion, it was not something that he considered to do professionally until recent years. After graduating from the University of Western Ontario with a degree in finance, which he pursued for a few years, Griffin finally made the jump into the music industry and hasn’t looked back since. 

His sound is deeply influenced by blues and today’s mix is one that he holds close to his heart, explaining “For years, I’ve had all these ideas of things I would like to combine from different artists and genres, but never really heard anyone doing it. I decided to make a piece of music with all my own material, combining all my influences – blues, classic rock, techno & house – into one project. This is the first project I’ve ever created with all my own material. It was actually made for my friends and I to listen to after a long night, while watching the sun come up. I was never planning to release it, but here we are!” 

Stay tuned for more, as Griffin Bourjeaurd launches a new live project set to debut in 2017. Until then, enjoy the journey!

This week, we’re pleased to welcome All Blak co-founder Paul Quzz to the decks, laying down a deep, groovy mix, polished with a cool finish. 

Since its inception in 2014, the All Blak crew have forged their position, coining a sound that’s unlike anything heard across the city. Characterized by minimal house flavours, and hypnotic, hazy grooves, it’s music that seeps into your bones. Their monthly #Reset residence at CODA has become a well-admired affair for savvy music lovers. Today, Paul Quzz gives us a taste of what to expect at the next #Reset on April  19. Enjoy.

Every now and then, life calls us to slow down. To halt the plans, thoughts and responsibilities clouding our minds. To take a moment of silence. To close your eyes. To breath deeply. As summer slows its pace, the cosmic energy invites us into a deeper state of reflection. Thus, we were thrilled when Toronto artist Sam Zenn approached us with the idea to create an exclusive ambient set.

“Life can be very challenging at times,” he explained. “It’s great to have a chill and uplifting sound to lay back, relax and/or meditate with, especially since nothing connects stronger with our true inner beings other than music… food for the soul!”

Sam Zenn needs little introduction. As a DJ, he is a true chameleon, adapting to any dance floor put before him. His rich, hypnotic sound and technical dexterity behind the decks makes him stand out amongst fellow peers. The only attributes that shine brighter than his skill set are his warm, genuine demeanour and humble stance. It’s no wonder that many of the country’s top venues have booked Sam, including Toronto’s Footwork and CODA, Vancouver’s Gorg-o-mish and Celebrities, and festivals like Bestival Toronto and Vujaday in Barbados. So without further ado, we invite you unfold a blanket in the grass, connect with nature, and entrust in this conscious journey with Sam Zenn.

Today's mix comes to us from Toronto's deeply passionate Jenner. Having begun her love affair with the underground in 2002, after stumbling into an after-hours in Berlin, Jenner immediately knew that she'd found her soul's connection. Jenner returned home and began frequenting Toronto's industry events, and in 2008 she bought her first pair of CDJs and mixer.

Her sound is one that envelops a room entirely. Brimming with deep, ethereal backdrops, brooding basslines, hypnotic melodies, and carefully selected vocals, Jenner delivers memorable sets. Today, she gifts us with a soothing down tempo mix. Jenner takes us on a sonic journey that begins with soft, atmospheric harmonies, moving us towards melodic breakbeats that will captivate your mind. Enjoy the ride...
