Dj Polar has always been involved with music in some capacity, early on learned on the piano, sang in choirs or in the school band (yes a band geek, ha ha). With that training in the school bands, it lead to the training of listening to a song and being able to pick it apart mentally and hear the melodies, harmonies, and the bass lines. And cannot forget the subtle counters of each grouping.

Polar started spinning down at the local roller rink in Calgary on a dual CD player, then onto some vinyl, then onto a couple of different software packages, and medias. And still is fluent enough to go between them flawlessly. 

Once Polar caught the DJ bug, he has never looked back!

When it comes to DJing, he always has and always will keep playing something different, never in the same order, or the same sound.

And since he started down at the rink, gotta play just about everything... dance, house, top 40, retro (disco, classic rock), modern rock, hip hop and the list goes on.
 
Polar has opened for then likes of “The Perry Twins” from LA, and local favourites Michelle C, and Jon Delirious. And has worked closely with several different groups with in the local community. Polar has had shows all over southern and central Alberta. Notably the successful show for Jelo in Red Deer, where he was not djing, but provided the lighting to take the show to another level. He was also instrumental in the success of the 2014’s Motion Notion independent stage “Unity”. 

With his love of being able to put on a show and ensuring its success, keep a look out for this multi-talented individual at the nearest local and international show. Whether it is behind the decks, or behind the scene putting on the show, you will know when Polar is there!


Keep up and he'll post some other sets of different flavors.
And as always, recorded live!
Stay tuned, &
"Keep Playing It Forward"!!!
