Vinyl Only:

Following the explosive launch of Social Experiment Records' with the inaugural release delivered by the infamous DJ Qu, Jonny White looks to long time friend and fellow Toronto native Jonathan Lee to fulfill high expectations.

Opening up the ep is Parallel Gardens, a 4 to the floor brooding techno stomper with Whispering vocals and spacious sprinkles of Mind bending effects which transport you from the dance floor to another dimension.

Next up is Exit To Eden, a heavy bass driven concoction with drenched in a fog of airy pad's, giving it some breathing room between each cadence this killer cut has to offer.

Closing out the Ep is Portal Ten, a gritty, energizing affair and a DC10 Favourite this past season - now ready to find its way into dj bags across the globe.

Jonathan Lee follows suit on from Social Experiement's first EP, delivering another well rounded package of raw, uncompromising club cuts for those searching for the purest of the pure. It seems with only two releases to date, Social Experiment is clearing a path for it's own road.

For the past 7 years, "Social Experiment" has been the name of Jonny White’s internationally acclaimed series of Social Experiment showcases that have been an essential brand for the worlds top clubs and music festivals since it’s inception. From instalments in Panorama Bar and Fabric to DC10, these events have set the tone for a new project and new sound that White plans to concentrate his latest efforts on. The new catalogue promises to focus on a raw, dubby, industrial and brooding style of techno, a direction that has been transparent in Art Department shows as of late with much of the early catalogue being present in his sets.

This newly inspired project has also been launched as a partnership with hometown friends Nitin and former Art Department band-mate Kenny Glasgow in support of an issue very close to their hearts—animal rights. White has recently begun work on a charity project with long time friend and Pulse Radio founder Wade Cawood - called MAAC (Music Against Animal Cruelty). The charity will act as a fund with plans to galvanize the support of the electronic music industry and to help raise money to protect African wildlife facing the threat of diminishing population or extinction. Social Experiment will serve as a non profit record label with 100% of all net proceeds donated to MAAC.

About MAAC:
MAAC (Music Against Animal Cruelty) is a non profit organization with one simple directive: to save African wildlife. MAAC is a vehicle conceived by Jonny White of Art Department fame and long time friend and founder of Pulse Radio, Wade Cawood, to act as a broker between musicians, music industry and music fans alike, and organizations who are working on initiatives to save various animals facing the dangers of a diminishing population and/or extinction. Ultimately MAAC's objectives will extend to curating large scale events in hopes of raising substantial funds, allowing us to curate our own initiatives in Africa. In the interim we will be working as a "fund" to which anyone can contribute. We in turn will select various "grassroots" initiatives as beneficiaries. Whether it be to save lesser known animals who desperately need our help like the Wild Dog, or to enable Rangers to educate land-owners and farmers as to how they can safely utilize their land to produce crops or livestock without harming local wildlife, our mission is to help. 

Wildlife conservation in Africa is an issue near and dear to our hearts. We have come to realize that there is an often overlooked opportunity for artists and fans who are passionate about this issue to make a difference. Our plan is to galvanize the support of the music industry—a worldwide collective of likeminded individuals who together can make a significant difference in Africa.

Social Experiment is a non-profit record label. 100% of net proceeds from sales of this record will go towards conserving wildlife in Africa.
