Lonely Eyes - First track on new full-length album "Toronto the creepy" released in late February 2011



Hibernate - Lonely Eyes (2011)

A native of Toronto, Canada, Joseph Michael Borg has been 
involved with music since the age of 15. The younger sibling of a 
musician, Joseph would watch his brother's band rehearse and 
took note of the guitarist.  Soon Joseph became a guitarist 
himself, often skipping school so he could improve his skills on 
the instrument.  After six months of rigorous dedication, 
Joseph 'came out of hibernation' with an impressive, newly 
developed musical talent, his first of many.  It was then that the 
term 'Hibernate' was born.



 Experiencing the Toronto rave scene had a seductive influence 
on the young musician, eventually motivating him to create an 
elaborate studio and produce music of his own. In 2001 - after 
just one year of learning the ins and outs of the studio - Hibernate 
created one of the true gems of the anthem age: a melodic dance 
floor shaker entitled 'Tranzcanada'. Along with other early hits 
'Mane Sonitus', 'Breakout' and 'Advent', 'Tranzcanada' received 
international airplay as well as accolades from superstar DJs like 
Paul Oakenfold and Armin Van Buuren.  

After his success in the early 2000s, Hibernate began work on 
'OCD'(2004, Radikal Records), a full length vocal album 
showcasing elements of rock and pop, blended smoothly into his 
trademark EDM style.  Hibernate also showcased his musical 
background by performing lead vocals on every song, as well as 
laying down all the guitar tracks himself. His versatility paid off as 
'OCD's lead single 'Submit' invaded the airwaves and dance 
floors worldwide, eventually making it into the top 20 on the US 
Billboard Club Chart. 

In 2007, Hibernate continued his unique style with 'Away' (System Recordings), an album which seamlessly mixed progressive house, rock and pop.  The album's lead single, 'She Told Me', was Hibernate's most successful track to date, receiving extensive play on internet radio, satellite radio and broadcast radio. 

In 2009, Hibernate landed his latest major success, signing with Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Records to release the hauntingly ethereal 'Left Alone', a progressive masterpiece which became the lead track on Oakenfold's legendary 'Perfecto Vegas' compilation CD.

The first days of 2011 will mark Hibernate's latest offering to the EDM world: a collection of clean and melodic club tracks entitled 'Toronto the Creepy'. The album combines liquid house rhythms, electro flavoured percussion, organic vocals, and, of course, a neverending stream of synth-laced hooks. The lead single, 'That High', circulates into online music shops in early November, 2010.


Long story short...I broke my arm and got into mixing. Now it is my passion and I am trying to make something of myself. I hope I can move you the way music moves me.
