Outsiders: Lexis (Music is My Sanctuary) w/ Scott C @ Kiosk Radio 15.05.2024

"Silktits aka Alexis Cuthbert isn’t just my namesake; she’s one of my favorite DJs and one of our best adopted Montrealers. Even though she falls under the 'open format' style of DJing, her signature sound often has a cheeky, twinkly quality, drawing from different genres like disco, boogie, early house, Balearic, and leftfield.

In this episode, we discuss taking mushrooms and listening to the same song 53 times in a row while in a kiddie pool, talk about the secret vinyl store in Montreal, jam out to bizarre 80s Quebec drum machine theatre-boogie, Romanian pan flute jazz-disco, and close out the show by playing different reggae cover versions of the exact same song by pure coincidence!"

Outsiders: Lexis (Music is My Sanctuary) w/ THe LYONZ @ Kiosk Radio 15.08.2024

"I’m very happy to welcome Destiny, one of my favorite DJs and diggers (and drummers) in Montreal for the fifth episode of Back 2 U. 

Whenever we share the turntables or I hear her play, she always wows me with her eclecticism, originality and energy. We definitely share the same condition, which I would call “Musical ADHD”: the desire to want to play and listen to everything all at once. This was a super fun listening session and a great opportunity to finally hang out outside of dark clubs or dusty record stores. 

Everything from The Stooges, Grant Green, Jessy Lanza, and Earl Sweatshirt got played. We left no musical stone unturned!"

"Back at it for the sixth episode of the Back 2 U monthly show on Kiosk Radio, featuring my friends Guthrie and Alina from the Ferias collective whose events have had such a positive impact on the local scene. Everyone in Montreal right now knows that the Ferias parties are a sure shot for a great night every time. Great curation of spaces, DJ lineups, sound quality, and eclectic music for open-minded dancers. The attention to little details makes all the difference.

It was great to hang out, play records for each other, and talk about what makes a perfect morning record. If you could sing like anyone, who would that be? And also just play records that we simply love, from psych rock to kwaito.

A great hang with my friends from the Ferias crew!"

Lexis welcomes another very special guest to his monthly record hang: Aki from the legendary Cosmos Records. The Toronto-based shop is very high up on the list of most influential and important digging spots in the world. Dilla, Madlib & Pete Rock have dug through these crates.

Beyond the exclusive and rare digs you can find at Cosmos, the best feature of the store is the man behind the counter. Aki is always holding it down at Cosmos West (there is also the Cosmos East location a stone’s throw away) and is ready to share knowledge on his favorite records, whether rare groove holy grails or slept-on budget records.

A session between Lexis and Aki playing records for each other (and you!) in a format that Aki called “Rare Groove Kissa” (Kissa meaning “tea or coffee drinkiing shop” in Japanese).

The ambient/IDM Montreal-based duo Mue (Catherine Debard and Léon Lo) drop by Lexis' place for another killer episode of the Back 2 U monthly show. 

"We are huge fans of their music (highly recommend their album titled Les Vasières) but also of each of their solo ventures, Catherine under the YlangYlang moniker and Léon under his Skinnybones production/DJ alias. Another lovely musical hangout going back and forth about meaningful records and the personal stories behind them."

Outsiders: BACK 2 U (Hosted by Lexis) w/ Foxtrott @ Kiosk Radio 20.03.2025

Lexis is in Toronto and drops by his talented friend Raf Reza’s studio for another superb session of the Back 2 U show. Tons of discoveries, personal stories, laughs and cries. 

What record would you send back in time? What do you like to sing in the shower? A record everyone loves but you hate? What record makes you cry? And many more.

Growing up in Tokyo, living in the UK, and now based in Toronto, Raf’s sound has progressed over the years drawing inspiration from his many different homes. His debut album ‘Ekbar' continues to explore his obsession with all things dubwise, heavily referencing his UK connections as well as introducing Bengali cultural references into his work.

After a 12 episode run of Back 2 U monthly episodes, Lexis returns and welcomes another one of his Montreal friends for another music hangout to share records and the personal back stories that surround them.

Icky Magdala is a Montreal-based DJ and producer with a career spanning nearly two decades. Originating from the city’s underground scene, she finds refuge in sound system culture. Drawing upon a deep affection for different subgenres—with heavy emphasis on bass and drum lines—the avid vinyl records collector navigates through dub, jungle, drum & bass, hip hop, and acid techno. This has led her to perform at notable local and international venues and festivals, including Mutek Festival, Under Pressure Festival, The Lot Radio in NYC, and numerous encounters with the Dub-Stuy crew, to name a few. 

When she isn’t DJing, playing live sets or curating events, Icky Magdala continues to expand her sonic vision with her project Bridges to Dub. Her mission: spreading the music and good vibes.

For his 14th episode of the Back 2 U series hosted on Kiosk Radio, Lexis welcomes Montréal-based producer and researcher SIM. He is a singular voice in contemporary club culture, known for sculpting bold collisions between techno and dancehall. Originator of the Slow Tech genre, SIM approaches sound as a gravitational field where genres orbit, stretch, and intertwine - merging foundational Caribbean rhythms with the tensile minimalism of electronic music’s vanguard.
