A bedroom dj that turned pro and then turned into a dad.

I'm a Canadian dub techno and ambient producer. Starting out as a DJ in 1989  and exploring a variety of styles, I was instantly drawn to the rave scene in Toronto in the early 90's upon discovering the unique sounds of the early days of house, techno and jungle. 

Settling into the late 90's early 00's techno sounds I found myself playing frequently at events in both Toronto and my hometown of Kitchener. A vibrant and unique scene was already underway in Kitchener with a list of now well-known names in the international techno and dub scene, so I started exploring production in early 2002. With a growing influence from artists in both the ambient and dub techno scenes, I gradually directed my production work to those genres. 

I'm currently spending my time working on new music and have releases on Defora Records, Insectorama, Hello Strange, Deep Electronics, Melotonin and Greyscale, with more lined up for release in the coming months. 

Please feel free to listen to what I've put up. I'm posting released material and ideas or completed but as yet to be released music. If you enjoy what you hear, feel free to like and comment. If you represent a record label and are interested in working with me, I can be reached here on Soundcloud, my email lotechhijack@gmail.com or on Facebook.

Crafting unique soundscapes that blend the pulsating energy of dubstep and glitch with the immersive textures of ambient and downtempo.

A cabinetmaker by trade.  I have been recording birds for over 42 years.  Even as a seven year old I loved to hear the sound of birds. 
I believe that birdsong is a perfect reflection of the natural environment and yet a part of the experience of the environment.  
Over the years I have made some wildlife films and videos.  For wildlife recording I have been around Ireland, Wales, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Belize, Guyana, Brazil, Peru and Costa Rica. At the moment I have 26 albums of birdsong/nature, most of which can be found here for free download in high quality F.L.A.C. format.
  
Birdsong is Spiritual Medicine,
a Natural Treasure 
and a Companion to Silence.
