Having had been involved with the electronic music scene in Winnipeg since 1995, Francis L, AKA Messmer, started mixing  Drum & Bass in 1997. His first gigs began at Concept in the second room of the Wellingtons Basement where he was recruited to join Feroza Saïd and Chris Spelay (R Cola) to  be a resident DJ at the Braemar Bakery under the collective of Dublab which included the likes of Not Half, Fanny, Venetian Snares and DJ Abel (Cain) in it’s roster. This weekly event evolved to a new location at Cloud Nine called Air Massive that featured Drum & Bass as it’s focal point. By 2000 he was the Promotor for a weekly Drum & Bass night at the Collective Cabaret.

Messmer's sounds can be described as a toss up between the likes of Indy rock, punk rock, drum and bass, and an underground reservoir moving a the pace of a soap box Derby race, drawn in from the everyday life of a socialite who's experimented with a joker in his back pocket.

the spooks of hazard is a band that switches instruments during songs and makes a lot of stuff up while they're going along.
