One of the first Canadian producers to set up shop in Berlin’s electronic epicentre, Kitchener-raised Mike Shannon has been a funky force to be reckoned with, both at home and abroad for over 15 years. His DJ career took off along the Detroit-Toronto axis, where he devised a signature that straddles quivering techno, hypnotic jazz and buttery deep house – a sweeping musical vision that remains integral to his sound. Shannon quickly added the qualifiers 'producer' and 'label owner' to his resumé upon moving to Montréal in the late nineties; he contributed to the homegrown minimal techno explosion by launching record label Cynosure and the more experimental Revolve Recordings (the latter with Jeff Milligan). As head A&R for the esteemed Cynosure, he’s helped boost the profile of like-minded artists such as Deadbeat, Akufen and Ernesto Ferreyra. He has released three albums to date on some of techno’s most notable imprints (Plus 8, Force Inc, ~scape), while continuing to blur tonal lines with his sultry, downtempo jazz trio Blue Fields (with Takeshi Nishimoto and Fadila) and an upcoming live act with German house pal DeWalta. After celebrating Cynosure’s 10th anniversary at MUTEK five years ago, Shannon returns with a new live set, to do what he does best: transcend techno clichés.

He plays NOCTURNE 5 Sunday, June 1 at the MAC

"Give a teenager in a rural Canadian setting an analog Synthesizer, a drum machine and a four-track cassette recorder and feed him a steady diet of 80s EBM, Post-Punk, Synthpop, Electro, Dub, Acid, Hip Hop and House, and you’ll get the kind of genre melding electronic-based music that Todd Nickolas has been known for since his early days of writing and producing." The End Result is a versatile one, the “Passive Articulation” Album present his abstract Techno - House - Electro visions, fusing all the elements of Intelligence Dance Music that we cherish so much: Warm Basslines, Beautiful Chord Progressions, Diverse surprising arrangements infused with Haunted Melodies, Trancy Cybersounds, Vocal Cuts, FX Drums…overall fresh & timeless classiness for the present, past & future."

Recorded various locations New Hamburg, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ottawa, Toronto, San Francisco and Los Angeles. ADSR greatly thanks those who were there from the start, those who joined along the journey and those here now.

Dancing

Pretty much what I played at Spaced (my favourite party in London) back in May, between resident Jdubz and the don Truly Madly.  Party.

Joe Delon Live(-ish) @ Spaced

We are thrilled and honored to present you the first artist of our Sol Asylum mix series, Vincent Lemieux. DJ, record dealer, MUTEK programmer, Musique Risquée label cofounder and producer: Vincent is what you’d call a consummate music lover. 
Having rapidly ascended the DJ ranks thanks to his impeccable taste, Vincent Lemieux does not limit his musical diet to a single genre and this live cut from our last Sol Asylum at Club der Visionaere is the ideal example. We would like to share this wonderful piece of time and space with you and we hope you enjoy listening to this cut as much as we enjoyed dancing to it.
