"Community Radio Show of the Year" 
Pioneer Canada DJ Stylus Awards - Nominee

Following an extended teaching journey in Europe, I staked my tent in the studio of CIUT radio in the heart of downtown Toronto. For the past 26 years, I've hosted NO MAN'S LAND and have earned a reputation among a loyal audience for unique, groove-driven explorations into the evolution of world music & global electronica.

From Indo-Arabic Dub to Afro-Latin Funk to Gypsy-Swing Electronica, sets flow seamlessly from soothing ancient rhythms and textures through rippling primitive &amp; progressive beats, always challenging cultural boundaries &amp; musical traditions. This genre-bending mixology has generated a throng of listeners locally and internationally + continues to win fans over the airwaves and on dancefloors. NO MAN'S LAND is considered by many to be the top world fusion radio show in Canada. 

Running the gamut of underground parties to mainstream stages, I've produced shows and played DJ sets with dozens of heroes and major international artists. I've spoken at numerous conferences & festivals discussing world music, cultural activism and social citizenship, and have toured across North America as a yoga DJ.

Working closely with the finest clubs and promoters on local and international concerts &amp; parties and through consistent work as an educator, radio producer and cultural ambassador, medman is instrumental in pushing global music forward, and in exposing the international airwaves to the best emerging &amp; established artists in the scene. That was a serious run-on sentence folks. Nevertheless, the recipe is to diligently seek out the finest independent grooves, hook into the leading music labels and spread a weekly healing dose to the masses. Music is our medicine.

Originally the moniker Dralms functioned as departure point from songwriter Christopher Smith’s solo work. It was an opportunity to embrace a new process and indulge in a new feel. Taking off from where Smith’s live shows had left off, with a bigger, more band-oriented sound. 2015’s acclaimed debut record Shook was a combination of closer to date material as well as older reworked pieces. Adding lush textures to a live template of guitars, keyboards, drums while employing dub-style tape echo, Melodica, even gospel esc backup vocals. Smith meanwhile had put down his guitar to focus on his vocals, leading us with a heather of romantic hushes into dove soft discussions on concepts of purpose, to the taboos and perils of our love lives. Dralms are mood for thought. 
Soon after the release 2014’s EP Crushed Pleats, the original line up essentially disbanded, but Dralms continued to tour the UK and EU extensively with a rotation of players including Smith’s long time collaborator William Kendrick who he continues work with as Dralms nears the completion of new releases slated for 2017/2018
