Né en 1978, Le Cantin a toujours eu un énorme penchant pour la musique et les instruments.

Bachelier en Arts Visuels, la création d’un son unique et propre à lui, lui semblait primordial. Il adore faire les les choses autrement et cela lui permet de sortir des sentiers battus.

Son parcours musical débute assis derrière un drum, une trompette ou un saxophone. C’est une fois déménagé à Montréal qu’il doit trouver le moyen de faire du bruit sans déranger la ville au grand complet. Il se met donc à la production de musique électronique. Il produit 8 albums entre 2002 et 2008. Aujourd’hui il vit principalement de son travail d’artiste peintre (patcanin.com) mais consacre une bonne partie de son temps à mixer dans les clubs et quelques événements extérieurs.

Son “son” est groovy et se danse extrêmement bien. Il a une préférence marquée pour le “dark techno” mais aime bien mixer du minimal drôle et happy.

Ses influences principales se situent entre My Oizo, Mistress Barbara, Vitaminsforyou, Richie Hawtin, Dan Bell, et Tool

Born in 1978, Le Cantin has always been interested in electronic music and sound.
With a Bachelor’s degree in fine arts he has always been one to look for new and unique sounds which set him apart from the rest of the crowd.

He began producing during the year 2000 and was not a DJ prior to when he began producing. Today he’s living from his art (patcantin.com) but most of his free time is dedicated to Djing. Mixing Dark Techno is what he digs the most but loves to play some edgy minimal funny tracks as well.
His sound is refreshingly crisp, clean and groovy with the influence from many artists inluding Mr. Oizo, Mistress Barbara, Vitaminsforyou, Richie Hawtin, Dan Bell, and Tool.

Because absolutely nothing compares to music. This language, whose universal vibes can 
be understood by anybody, connects people around the globe be it religions, cultures or ethnicity. Great tunes turn strangers into friends. One note expresses more emotions than a thousand words. Music goes on where words fall short. It simply touches your soul. 

Born in Antwerp in 1982, Eran soon discovered his sense of rhythm and passion for sound. One sweet day, the cherished dream of creating his own music and becoming a DJ came true. Inspired by the vibes of past and contemporary electronic music, he started mixing emotive melodies with a contemporary beat. Urged by a strong desire to develop his own DJ style, he soon discovered his path into the kingdom of sound. 

Eran's remarkable musical taste has been astonishing countless party people across the dance floors across the globe. His sophisticated blend of melodically driven electronic music manages to surprise the crowd every time. The tracks he harmonically and seamlessly mixes tell an intriguing story. Having singed his records to labels such as Sudbeat and Plattenbank has made him a vast feature in today’s world of electronic music.  His musical intuition, great mixing skills and openness for innovative influences make every party worthy of its definition. By consciously adapting his music to the audience and carefully building up the tempo, he succeeds to turn every party into one that will definitely be remembered. Having found something that was missing in Antwerps nightlife he founded, together with his partner, a new concept called EDGE in 2014 which has already booked some of the biggest names in the industry such as John Digweed, Sasha, Lee Burridge, Adriatique, Stephan Bodzin, Hernan Cattaneo b2b Guy J just to mention a few. EDGE was founded to bring party people, Dj’s and musical influences from different cultures and styles together. Since its initial conception in Antwerp EDGE expanded its horizons and has held editions in Tel Aviv and Amsterdam.  In 2017 EDGE expanded its brand by launching a record label which aims to curate some of the best electronic music around.  

Key and chord compatibility have no secrets for Eran - once he puts on his headphones, his atmospheric music takes you into a journey you don’t want to end.

Established in the 90s, Misstress Barbara (word play between Miss and Stress) is a pioneering DJ/Producer and one of the first female superstar DJs who helped inspire future generations with her explosive Techno sets. Whilst headlining major festivals and events globally, there was a period in the ’00s when she was consistently voted inside of DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs.

Born in Italy, she moved to Canada at age 8. Curious and passionate by nature, she loves exploring new fields and reaching new goals. To name a few, she is a drummer, she has a glider and private pilot license, she graduated University in Communications/Cinema, she is a boat captain and sailing instructor, and she also launched her own bean-to-bar chocolate brand Barbon Chocolate, crafting everything by hand herself. A woman of many talents indeed.

But among all of her passions, music was always her main focus since the start of her remarkable career, which has earned her multiple accolades (2001 Best Montreal International Music Initiative Award / 2002 UK Underground Music Awards’ Best Breakthrough DJ / 2009 GAMIQ’s Best Electronic Album of the Year Awards and 2010 Canada’s JUNO Awards’ Best Dance Album of the Year nomination for “I’m No Human” / 2014 MTL Awards’ Best Montreal DJ, to name a few). Her extensive discography is found among the world’s best Techno labels, including her own, launched in 1999 under the name Relentless, which became Iturnem in 2003. Barbara Brown used to be her alter-ego used for her softer productions, but she now releases all her music under her main name, regardless of the style, as she did for her albums I’m No Human and Many Shades of Grey. This might confuse her most loyal techno fans, although they should rest assured that she will never stray away from her first true love: Techno.

The electronic music career of Dom Dumoulin (formerly known as Snork) started before his first rave, a very unusual thing in the hyperactive Montreal electronic scene of the 90’s. Most of his friends were raving like there’s no tomorrow, though, and when he found himself assisting one of them in the production of a live act, he already felt the urge to create a music of his own.

Since the very start of the year 2000,  his music is about atmospheres and soundscapes. His music has deepened quickly and explores new avenues, never losing its architectural essence that will soon become Dom Dumoulin’s trademark.

His early works are either experiments with eclectic melodies and complex rythmic patterns typical of early IDM or excursions in downtempo constantly reaching new layers of depth where the texture evolves and become audio scenery, this last aspect directly inspired by drone music. The whole product is in constant ebullition in an endless suite of self-redefinition that eventuallty leads to the dreamy land of dub techno, where new forms emerge constantly. This piece of music ends up getting praised by Quebec’s most influential figure from the underground, Claude Rajotte.
 
In 2008, after 8 years of gestation, a first EP called Coccinelle is released on Pert-n-ence under his Snork alias that receives positive reviews from a German music blog, Magagin.
In 2009, Dom creates his own label Algorithm Records and proceed with the release of Bedroom Works, a full album deeply rooted in his IDM influences, and a second EP called Aquarium that is actually s glimpse of music to come. The track features a very slow-paced and deep beat  that leads the way underwater into a myriad  of drone waves slowly changing colors. In the end, an eerie feeling emerge feeling pretty much like dub techno when it first appeared.
 
After those releases came the summer and now armed with solid credentials, Dominic gets an invitation to perform as Snork in a Piknic Electronique. In 2010, the prestigious Mutek festival have him perform as Snork.

Now that Snork is on top, Dominic put him to sleep and now starts over under the name Dom Dumoulin and continues to further develop his skills. In 2012,  his path crosses Patrice Tremblay (DJ Bushido from Montreal’s 64hz crew) and they proceed with the creation of Pulses, the enigmatic duo. For Dom Dumoulin, it only feels natural that the next step down road is to share the creative process and double the input.

Basking in its glow, a growing production portfolio illustrates a burgeoning talent that finds itself allied to the industry’s finest record labels. A multi-faceted artist who represents a fierce determination to succeed in a highly competitive and notoriously fickle industry, Zankee Gulati continues to carve out a sizeable niche in the global underground dance scene.
