Neon cyberpunk rave & roll.  Overheating synths & Y2K electro.  Crunchy bass & sim-analog gliss.  Retro-futurist big beat breakers & stompers.

I didnt take piano lessons when I was a kid.

Spaceman Spliff has been a dj in Vancouver since 2005.  He is a co-founder of BeLeaf Productions, a down-to-earth, grassroots event production company and independent music label.  His recording projects are Cannabinoid (breaks) and Recessive Trait (drum & bass).  As a dj, Spaceman Spliff plays smooth chillout - from trip hop and lounge through worldbeats into psydub and ambient - and psychedelic trance - mostly suomisaundi with occasional full on and classic goa trance sets.

	
  Traversing borderless soundscapes Helix 42 plays the majority of his sets from the realm of spontaneity, creating a unique journey for spirit and the dancefloor every time he's behind the decks. From deep and delicate downtempo to full blown psychedelia, the train may stop at any or all points in-between. With his equal love for glitched out crunches, funky resonant basslines, deeply driving beats, all-out ambient, and the sweet strings of emotion, Helix 42 aims to be of service for a transformative experience in dance, spirit, and simply just being.

Huh! Well time to update the bio I guess! Now with a degree in musicology later I take this Suomisaundi business as something I actually always belonged without knowing it yet :) 

Haven't been too active here since 2014 or something really, but now I'm back on the subscription and will post stuff here occasionally :)

Darth Phader is almost what you expect from a name like that; a funny twist on the darker side of sounding things and heavy on the faders. This producer from Finland is no stranger to any form of music, and produces a wide variety of cross-genre stuff with the most prominent genre being whatever is going on in his devious mind...
