hihi.
I'm Matt. I live in west Toronto, but am from Hamilton originally. I dj on my own, but more often with friends. We play art shows in Hamilton, bars in Hamilton and Toronto, and help to bring the good times for our friends. If I ever decide to be a bit more formal than casual, I'll post some mixes up here. In the meantime, I'm just 'hear' to listen to the new sounds, and admire the work of all y'all. 
And I love it. I love my music. While most of my friends are watching tv or movies, I'm drifting through the clouds trying to find the sounds the make me think, make me happy, or make me move. 
If you're visiting, I hope you're similarly inclined.
happy drifting

DJ & Musician 
Resident & Co-Founder of Planet Love    
Resident of Dublab, "Hearing Color" 1st Wednesdays 10pm-12am PST


RA profile: https://ra.co/dj/jamesaxon/biography 

James Axon is the cofounder & resident of the queer underground party Planet Love, and a resident of Dublab with his radio show "Hearing Color" -- both platforms he dedicates to underground dance music. A lifelong pianist and classically trained musician, James Axon spent years in bands and orchestras ensembles before falling in love with the timeless sounds of house and techno while studying in Copenhagen and Berlin. With over a decade of collecting dance records since, Axon now draws upon his musicality and eclectic taste as a DJ that espouses an expansive vision of dance music, often mixing seamlessly between all shades of house, techno, italo, electro, disco, and breaks. Often drawn to the 'grey area' and hard-to-classify tracks, Axon's selections stem from a deep love and fascination with the infinite possibilities of synthesis and sound design. His sets are always colorful, eclectic, and intuitively reflective of the setting. Whether playing cosmic disco in an intimate loft or hypnotic techno in a dark foggy warehouse, he still finds a sound that is distinctly James Axon: melodic, driving, dreamy, and synth-heavy.  Axon's DJing has taken him to clubs both around the country and internationally, with recent appearances at Sunday Sunday CDMX, Good Room NYC, and Por Detroit LA

Toronto-based Sandy Watts channels the intersection between nature, queerness, and music. As a trained ecologist, his sets are a cross-pollination of tropical house, continental disco, acid techno, 90s nostalgia, and a responsible dose of psychedelia. Mid-pandemic Sandy introduced the mixtape project 'Cafe Cuisine,' transforming his kitchen into a stage and inviting listeners to embark on a surreal and vibrant trip once a month.

Sandy is known for throwing concept raves in Toronto's gaytown, including the Anvil and Club Resort, and played his fresh blend of underground queer dance music for Common Fruit, Yohomo, and Rusted.

Always experimenting with a certain soundscape: where is the Venn diagram where 90s trance meets new age progressive house and techno?
Founder of Niche Underground: A queer party series out of Vancouver.
