The music layers entertaining spoken word and global vocal talents over a connected backdrop of sonic landscapes, live acoustic, analogue, AI, and electronic music performance and recording techniques.  

Familiar voices and sounds dot the sweeping breaks that let us catch our breath before we are swept away again following the beautifully melodic and driving rhythmic map of our world made better.   This is presented in a series of thematic movements designed to inform and inspire deeper and more memorable personal and shared experiences.  You’ll laugh.  You’ll dance.  And you’ll remember why you need to do both of those more.(and it will include a DJ’d set of the songs performed differently and without breaks)

Full remix stems, Logic and Ableton projects and soundpacks for Novation CIrcuit are available.  Yes, also retiring the gamertag @bitpakkit alias after 15 years of confused stares and spelling issues.  Well...there was this one time...and that other time...but...NSFW...and this is work now.

Braue is a Montreal-based artist originally from Vancouver, British Columbia, whose music is deeply influenced by the misty, rain-soaked landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Her work blends atmospheric textures with introspective rhythms, creating a signature style that resonates in every mix, production, and event.

With over 20 years behind the decks, Braue has become a revered figure in the Vancouver music scene, curating transformative nights alongside legends like Fred P, Wata Igarashi, Daniel Bell, DVS1, Efdemin, Joey Anderson, Prosumer, and Steffi. Her sets are journeys, equal parts hypnotic and electrifying.

A classically trained pianist with a flair for storytelling, Braue crafts sonic narratives that linger long after the final note. Whether recording as Coral Beech (Panel Records, Rhombus) or performing as Braue (Clipp Art), her impeccable taste, boundless creativity, and deep musical wisdom transform every space she’s touch into something extraordinary.

Coaxing nuanced expression from analog machines and digital possibilities alike, Noah Pred has been envisioning the future through electronic music for over twenty years. Following his 2018 release of two full-lengths charting the territories between deep space experimentalism, intricate polyrhythms, delicate soundscapes, evocative acid, and expansive dub frontiers, 2019 saw him reinterpreting his signature production style anew with a slew of raw, minimalist, hypnotic techno EPs.

A two-time Juno Award nominee in his native Canada, a music educator and technologist in his adopted hometown Berlin, an alum of Cynosure, Highgrade, and Trapez LTD, and founder of the acclaimed Thoughtless imprint, Noah is also a DJ whose past residencies at Stereobar in Montreal and Fukhouse in Toronto helped lay the framework for his dynamic yet fluid sets that continue to resonate with diverse communities.

A notable member of Canada’s burgeoning underground of the early 2000s, Pred’s distinctive production style earned him a place among his peers with releases on Immigrant, Intrinsic Design, and Consigned Recordings. Driven by the fuel that fired up Thoughtless, Noah relocated to Berlin in 2011, where his creative horizons continued to expand via collaborative projects with Tom Clark as False Image on Get Physical, with Pablo Bolivar on Apparel and Biotop, with Tim Xavier on Alphahouse, and with Deepchild as Concubine.

Between his recent solo EPs for Traumraum, Compute, and Face To Face, his vivid sets of techno, house, and electro, the advanced sound design of his haunting atmospherics, and the ever-evolving scope of his technical capabilities, Noah’s commitment to electronic innovation remains as strong as ever - and in the face of global uncertainty, his utopian sonic narratives have never felt so vital.

A strict vegetarian when he is sober, Tim Livingstone doesn’t let an obvious lack of skills or talent hold him back.  A recent survey found that 69% of people would prefer listening to Justin Bieber’s grandma sing “Kumbaya” for 420 hours straight rather than Tim trainwreck again on the turntables.  As if being an incompetent DJ wasn’t enough, he is now producing god-awful original tracks and butchering classic songs with his remixes.  Someone’s crying Lord, Kumbaya.

Conceived from the idea to unite and promote our Northwest electronic music scene, You Plus One emerged originally as a successful attempt to keep the house and techno scene alive locally in Vancouver, Canada. Since 2011, it has carved a name for itself by throwing legendary events for music lovers, jump-starting many careers in the industry, lending + creating the sound and image for different venues, supporting and mentoring local artists, and building connections with the greater international community. It has now evolved into a music label that has already garnished support from top industry professionals even in its infancy. YPO's goal is to guide talent, expose new people to the beautiful, artistic, and underground world of house and techno, and ultimately help represent Canada within the global underground scene

Robert Babicz has been redefining the boundaries of electronic music since the early 1990s. His unique artistry encompasses sound, vision, emotion and spirituality. From releasing and performing acid techno as Rob Acid, to his role as a highly-sought after producer and studio wizard infusing technical perfection with deep emotion, to his striking photos, everything Robert does expresses his desire to celebrate beauty and humanity, and to live each moment with utmost consciousness. Robert's art and philosophy are so distinctive there's a word for it: Babiczstyle.
