Since a very young age, I've always been in love with music. As soon as I discovered electronic music, I knew it was something I've wanted to do. When I was 13 I got my first tracker, and began to learn the ropes using MTV Music Generator on the Playstation 1, and the rest is history! 

I've produced under a number of aliases and project names over the years, and been graced with support from so many amazing people since first stepping into the music world. My hope to is be able to inspire others to believe in themselves to follow their dreams as well, and  to stick with it!

Hailing from Halifax NS Canada, DJ Lyra is a driving force in the Maritimes’ underground electronic music scene. A passionate music lover turned performer, she brings years of dedication to both the community and the dancefloor. With deep roots in music through singing and instrumental performance, it was only natural that she would evolve into a powerhouse behind the decks.

Lyra’s sets are a journey through the rich textures of underground electronic music. From dark, chugging basslines and quirky kick patterns to whirring electro melodies, driving techno, bass-heavy rhythms, and cleverly placed vocal samples, she curates dynamic mixes that are as smart as they are dance-inducing. Her ability to blend genre-defying tracks with seamless energy makes every set unforgettable.

She’s shared the stage with some of the top names in the scene, opening for heavyweights like Colette, Marten Hørger, Nick Rockwell, Miz Megs, DJ Rap, DJ Dan, Chuck Love, Johnny Fiasco, and SNBRN. As one half of the tech house duo Tektric with Justincredible, Lyra continues to push sonic boundaries.

A longtime radio host and guest mix contributor, Lyra hosted the East Coast Vibes show on Sugar Shack Radio and more recently hosts livestreams on twitch every Thursday and has appeared on renowned platforms such as Harmsworth’s Feels Like Sunday, Jon Hart’s Reason 2 Funk, Monty Luke’s Wave of the Future on Scion AV, Girls On Decks, Ghetto Innit, Home Bass FM, Tribe Radio on d3ep.com, and Maritime Grime.

Her resume includes collaborations and performances with some of the region’s most respected crews and events, including Baseline, Zoo Crew Productions, Underdog Productions, Home Bass, Lighthouse Atlantic, Bass Bias, Future Forest Festival (where she also contributes to promotions), Kollektiv and  Classics.

Whether she’s igniting a packed festival stage or curating deep vibes at an intimate venue, DJ Lyra is a relentless advocate for Atlantic Canada’s underground electronic scene — and a guaranteed good time on the dancefloor.

I DJ for the love of music and the joy of sharing it with others. Music connects people in so many different ways, and that’s what inspires me.

My journey started in Ottawa, on the dance floor at Sweet Saturdays. From there, I found myself at Atomic (Ottawa), Sona (Montreal), Stereo (Montreal), System Soundbar (Toronto), Surface (Ottawa), and Heaven (Ottawa). Those nights fueled my passion and shaped my love for the scene.

Over the years, I invested in my craft—starting with my first digital setup (Tech 1200 DZs), moving to the Vestax VCI 300 with the VFX-1 effects unit, and now mixing on a Roland DJ-808. Since 2005, I’ve been learning, experimenting, and perfecting my skills. I’ve played everything from small get-togethers and local bars to unforgettable nights deep in the forest on a private lake with friends.

What I love most are intimate nights where I can take people on a journey—introducing them to tracks they’ve never heard before, while mixing in classics that keep everyone smiling, dancing, and singing along.

House music has always been, and always will be, a part of who I am.
Keep dancing. One love.

Dance floor romancer, rhythmical renaissance man, and preceptor of positive vibes: this is the Groove Antenna.   Adept in a range of subjects that spans a degree in HVAC/R, bike mechanics, computer building, silly walks, old school vinyl rave DJing, and producing insatiable beats.  Founder/owner of Ravetank Records. The one and only unstoppable Ravetank!

This ol' rave relic cares not for rhythmical rules and follows no trends.  He relies on his audio acumen to decimate dance floors from dusk til' dawn; with one prime directive,  to transform you in to a sweat soaked hot mess of rave gravy while you dance like no one is watching, and finally leaving you exhausted and enraptured wondering "what jus' happened".   

Getting his start back in the after hour glory days of the East Coast rave scene, The Groove Antenna, (formally Jacksonstrut), has a love for music that is matched only by his passion for dancing.  During a long musical revolution through many genres of electronic music he has been bringing the groove, swing, funk, soul and jack to dance floors from Nova Scotia to Quebec for the better part of two decades, closing out such clubs as Reflections, The Palace, La Sonar, Sub Rosa, Nitro, Oxygen and many others along side of some of the industries biggest names including: 
Inland Knights, Doc Martin, Fort Knox 5, Bobby C Sound TV, Snails, Rescue, DJ Mes, The Funk Hunters, A-Paul, Corduroy Mavericks, Jose Zaragoza, Iz & Diz, Dok Link, Scratch Bastid, Veev, and DJ Dan to name a few.  

Jacksonstrut, ‘aka’ The Groove Antenna, combines high energy stage presence with seductive vocals, funky bass lines, driving rhythms, and pounding drums to create an intimate atmosphere all his own.  Known for his epic sunrise sets at the Evolve Festival, and his funky filtered after hours sets, The Groove Antenna can often be found dancing harder behind the decks than most of the crowd.  His love of music has been influenced over the years by artists such as The Greenskeepers, Moloko, Modjo, Fatboy Slim, Armand Van Heldon, Cassius, and DJ Dan, as well as by local artists including Dale Mannette, Tommy Knuckles and Rickey Reid.
