"Community Radio Show of the Year" 
Pioneer Canada DJ Stylus Awards - Nominee

Following an extended teaching journey in Europe, I staked my tent in the studio of CIUT radio in the heart of downtown Toronto. For the past 26 years, I've hosted NO MAN'S LAND and have earned a reputation among a loyal audience for unique, groove-driven explorations into the evolution of world music & global electronica.

From Indo-Arabic Dub to Afro-Latin Funk to Gypsy-Swing Electronica, sets flow seamlessly from soothing ancient rhythms and textures through rippling primitive &amp; progressive beats, always challenging cultural boundaries &amp; musical traditions. This genre-bending mixology has generated a throng of listeners locally and internationally + continues to win fans over the airwaves and on dancefloors. NO MAN'S LAND is considered by many to be the top world fusion radio show in Canada. 

Running the gamut of underground parties to mainstream stages, I've produced shows and played DJ sets with dozens of heroes and major international artists. I've spoken at numerous conferences & festivals discussing world music, cultural activism and social citizenship, and have toured across North America as a yoga DJ.

Working closely with the finest clubs and promoters on local and international concerts &amp; parties and through consistent work as an educator, radio producer and cultural ambassador, medman is instrumental in pushing global music forward, and in exposing the international airwaves to the best emerging &amp; established artists in the scene. That was a serious run-on sentence folks. Nevertheless, the recipe is to diligently seek out the finest independent grooves, hook into the leading music labels and spread a weekly healing dose to the masses. Music is our medicine.

Portland based musician, educator, and activist, Sara Tone shares her love songs for the Earth as a multi-instrumentalist. Expressing herself through voice, guitar, baritone uke, kalimba, ocarina, and an assortment of percussion instruments. Her style ranges from deep heart rooted fae-soul, world-folk, with an undeniable hip-hop approach. 

You’ll often find her building musical expression through live looping, blending harmonies, beat box, and a quiver full of instruments. There's an intention and vibe created, a collective power of presence and gratitude that the music emanates and amplifies, a prayer, a spell, a sonic stream to soak your soul...

She has utilized her voice and musical offerings as an advocate for campaigns including actions for intact forests, clean water, seeds, carbon sequestering and soil building, salmon restoration, free-roaming buffalo, and the We Are Mauna Kea, on Hawai’i Island. Recently, she played a powerful show at the 2023 NW Permaculture Convergence, sharing the night with renowned author/activist Starhawk.

More to come, Miles to go...

WHAT IS "APUKUNA"? (artist statement)

"Apukuna" is a Quechua word meaning 'mountain spirits'. Following an apprenticeship into Andean cosmology, I chose the name to honor the people, the wisdom, and to invite deeper appreciation for their sacred relationship to land, mountains and the unseen. This relationship is available to all of us who walk this earth and is where much of my musical inspiration emerges."

The sound of Bachan Kaur’s voice can make you forget what you’re doing and remember who you are.

Diverse cultural, spiritual and musical influences infuse her sound, weaving a tapestry of kaleidoscopic luminescence. 
You'll hear multiple languages dance between sparse dreamy electronica, organic earthy acoustics, soul stirring poetics, and the occasional boom and clack. Bachan’s sincerity invites you into the mystical nature of your soul where complexities, dissonance and sorrows are welcomed and soothed. Mother earth and the human heart are the bread and butter of this artist’s intention and you can taste it in every song.

Bachan has self-produced and released 8 albums alongside singles and musical videos that are cherished in yoga studios, sacred ceremonies and earbuds around the globe. Primarily a visual artist, her sound breathes with the immersive quality of a painter chasing rainbows while singing lullabies.  She collaborates frequently with electro world music producers, so be sure to check some of those out. In 2023 she's sharing a collection of devotional Sikh songs, as an ode to the sacred influence of this spiritual path in her life. Stay tuned ! ✨
