Côte Saint-Luc businessman Michael Gilbert is helping out his good friend Michael Dean Rafferty on a mission. Kera Organics was created to not only to make soap, but specialize in transforming pure and natural ingredients, free from chemical fragrances and processed components like artificial dyes into handcrafted organic products. Kera comes from Keratoconus, an eye disease which, if not treated could easily lead to blindness. For many, surgery is not the answer, but spiral lenses are. Those stricken by this disease may need to go this route however it comes with a very costly price to pay. There are no available government subsidies that you can receive and not many places offer this type of lens with the necessary treatment services. That is why Mr. Rafferty, who has suffered from the disease since he was a child, created the  Kera Cares Foundation ( https://keracares.org) to provide assistance. I caught up with the two Michaels at their Crescent Street booth during Grand Prix festivities.

Man about town Michael Gilbert becomes a "visionary" for Michael Dean Rafferty

Keratoconus is an eye condition in which the cornea is misshapen and tapers forward to form a cone-shaped protrusion. The cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped layer at the very front of the eye.

Closing the EP, " Keratoconus" is a fitting finale. Akrom & Qua Rush channel a raw, chaotic energy, with distorted bass snarls and unrelenting drums driving the track. The sinister vibes continue here, blending tech and neuro influences seamlessly.
