My real name is Shane Willard and I started playing guitar in 1992 when I was 13 years old.  I got a piece of shit guitar, learned a few chords and started a band.  

I grew up in Kirkland Lake Ontario Canada in the midst of a youth driven DIY punk scene in the mid-late 90s. Kids made bands, put on their own shows, recorded their own albums and put them out for other kids to hear.  A group of kids made a school club called the Imperial Order of Low Budget which was used to allow the local bands, who attended the school, to rent halls and use the school's equipment to put on shows.  The money made from the shows was used to buy recording time for local bands at a small local home studio.  I was never part of the club but my life was significantly affected by the butterfly effect it created

We met kids from nearby towns who were putting on their own shows and the scene grew through melding with other local scenes.  Bands traveled to play shows in their towns and the other bands came to play in Kirkland Lake.  It was a great way to grow up.  

On this page you’ll find music that I’ve recorded with the bands I’ve been in during my youth up to my most recent home recordings.  You won’t find pro recordings, pitch perfect singing, or pop hits here.  I came from a DIY punk rock scene in the mid 90s so a good chunk this stuff is recorded using a 4 track cassette recorder.  What you will find is music made by my friends and I that was created purely for the passion of making music at a time when the music was all that mattered.  In adulthood I haven't played or recorded much but did record some music with a friend in university and have done a few acoustic songs and they're here too. 

I'm not claiming to have written everything here.  Basically, if I sing it I wrote it at least primarily. (except Social Oppression - that's a Subverts cover)  Some will have co-writers.  I'll try to have accurate credits in the song descriptions.   I'm working on it.  For other's songs, I will remove tracks if the songwriter requests (you all know me well enough to know how to contact me)

The rules are:  

1. If I've posted it up here I either wrote it, played on it in some form, or it's a cover of a song that I wrote

2. If I repost something it's either:
1)  a related artist (as in it follows the lineage of one of the bands on here) 
2) a song by a band I was in but didn't play on 
3) a cover of one of the bands I've posted 

The line ups listed below are representative of what they were when I was in the band.  Some of these bands have had other line-ups that I wasn't a part of.  The time frames are indicative of when I was in the band and not the band's entire existence.

Having grown up outside Boulder, Colorado for most of his life, Rough Night fell in love with electronic dance music when he first listened to Daft Punk’s Homework. Around the age of 12 he began buying and tinkering with vinyl as it was the only way to get ahold of new singles during that era, and learned the fundamentals of producing on a Roland 307 Groovebox. Soon enough he would move on to ACID, then Logic, and then recently to Ableton – which he now uses for his entire production process. Along the way, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston for music synthesis. He would take frequent trips up to New York City and Montreal to see live music performances; one of his weekend trips to the latter ended up stretching into a three-week affair.

While each location change painted his music style in a new shade, its shape truly formed from the influences of his favorite artists. His earlier idols included Hybrid and BT, but he also draws from contemporaries like Knife Party, Pegboard Nerds and Seven Lions. The amalgamation of sound has paid off, though, as during his time as one half of the duo Forcing Function he won the 2011 Beatport Miami Music Week DJ competition and was flown out to Miami to play alongside Chris Lake, Moguai, Feed Me, Noisia and Skrillex, among others. His original tracks evoke the high-energy euphoria of hard-hitting electro/dubstep, but feature the layered complexity of uplifting trance.


Positioned quite centrally between the great lakes of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, the state of Michigan is a cold, tough and traverse region that has given rise to some of the greatest examples of empowering ideas and human ingenuity. Sitting at the top of one of the most recognizable cities in the state is Detroit. The Motor City gave rise to the automobile assembly line and mass production that drove America into freedom on the road. Just 25 minutes outside of Detroit, is the city limits of Pontiac, MI, GM’s Pontiac East Assembly plant produced some of the greatest muscle cars of the time in the GTO and Firebird Trans-Am. For Deshawn Grady… AKA Trigg Da Kidd, the historical tales of Pontiac is nothing new to him. Taught the history of the city in grade and high school was mandatory, but at home in his neighborhood of South Side, the rules of the streets were detrimental for survival. 
 
Born in Kingston, North Carolina, Trigg Da Kidd was uprooted from the Tar Heel state and sent to live with his grandmother as a young kid. It was here that he found the love for hip-hop. “I started rapping when I was around twelve - thirteen years old but got really serious about it as a career around when I was sixteen. I consider Lil Wayne and Biggie as some of my influences.” It was around this time that he and his childhood friends and fellow emcees FuCo Bunkin, (pronounced: “Foo Co”) and Sir Roc decided to create a rap group called G-Ville. However, before the journey into pursuing hip-hop as a career could get off the ground, Trigg was sent to juvenile detention in March 2010 for some shady activities. Being sent away was a learning experience that would only help his drive to do something with his life a top priority upon getting out. “People who don’t know about Pontiac, won’t understand… but due to the close proximity, Pontiac is like a mini Detroit. Everything that went down in Detroit, it went down in Pontiac. The selling of drugs and all that happens here too. So it’s not hard to get caught up out here.” After getting out of detention in January 2011, Trigg came out ready to make up for lost time. 

Trigg quickly picked up the pen and traced thoughts to paper. Those rhymes on yellow loose leaf would form the basis for his mixtape Trigganometry 101 hosted by DJ Scream. The project was release on September 25, 2012 and featured records with Travis Porter and Doughboyz. 2012 was a hustle year for Trigg filled with many firsts and promises. To start, he was a part of 2 Chainz Based On A True Story Tour II that allowed him to learn some things from the famous emcee. “The 2 Chainz tour was my first national tour. It was a blessing from God being on tour with one of the hottest dudes in the game. That situation was a good learning experience because I was able to watch and learn a lot from him like how he gets the crowd involved.” Along with the tour, Trigg considers his video “What’s Yo Name” being played on MTV Jams as one of the biggest highlights of his career thus far but knows there’s more to come.

Trigg Da Kidd expects that his hard work and music will soon catch the attention of the general public soon enough. As long as he keeps moving forward, the opportunity he’s been waiting for to break open will come. “I would be unrealistic to say that I will be rapping forever, but right now I have goals set for achieving success. “It’s a fight but I won’t quit because I love what I’m doing and what I’ve learned in pursuing this is that people depend on me not always for money, but inspiration too. I owe it to them to make it.”

Julia Matuss made her mark by being one of the most talented and sought-after djs in all of Ukraine. What is unique about Matuss is that unlike most female djs; she isn’t just eye candy, she is consumed by music and the results of her obsession are projected onto audiences when she performs. 
“I get goose bumps when I hear good music. I think that’s a good indication that the people will love the track. If it does something to me emotionally, whether good or bad, it will move the dance floor, believe me, I’m hard on music.”
Collaborations with Topspin on the singles, “Modena” and “Deep Inside,” resulted in several Beatport top 20 rankings. Top-ranking djs, such as Armin Van Buuren, Mark Knight, Anthony Pappa and Manuel de la Mare, have showed their support for these tracks and play them in their sets.
“All three tracks are really good. My favorite is the “Flippers Remix,” and I will play this out. Thanks. Pappa.”
Her latest release, “Vibratelekom: Volume 4” (Compiled by Andy Fink and Matuss) featured Max Bett, “Good Morning Baby” (Andy Fink and Matuss ‘Vibra Macz’ Edit) and was met with the support by Chloe Harris, Roger Sanchez, Feygin, John Selway, Erick Morillo/Manny Zelaya, Michel de Hey, Scumfrog, Simi, Brassard & Kili, Coyu, GgDex, JP Chronic, Krummstoff, Matan Caspi, Outstrip, Sebastian Lintz, Eamon RTE Radio, FOG, Hermanez, Sezer Uysal, Steve Parry/Chris Lake, Stonebridge, Tapesh, The Junkies, Wally Lopez/Luis Bias, Mark Knight/Wesley S., Alan Fitzpatrick, Aleks Patz, AMDJS, Dj Aleksij, In House We Trust Radio Show, Mark de Pulse, Marco Carola, Mihalis Safras, Matteo DiMarr and more.
Matuss discovered music at a very young age; she was only six years old when she began her lessons in the piano and saxophone, 
“I was six years old and I passed by this building and I heard music. I wandered in and accidentally bumped into this large woman’s knees. She laughed then took me on a tour of the building, after she was done showing me around, she simply asked me when I wanted to start; and that’s how it all happened.”
After finishing school, Matuss traveled the world discovering electronic music where she learned from the best, including Junior Vasquez, Armand Van Helden and David Guetta. It was actually during a conversation with Louis Botella that she decided to take his advise and learn how to dj.
“Botella asked me what kind of music I liked, when I told him, he was surprised to hear the dj names that I mentioned. I guess he thought I was going to spout off a bunch of pop names. I also told him that I play instruments and that I’m obsessed with music. He said there was no reason I shouldn’t be making it myself.”
The next day she bought all the dj equipment she could afford, placed it on the floor of her unfurnished apartment and began learning how to dj.
Quickly, Matuss started traveling the world djing at clubs in Luxembourg, Switzerland, France and Italy as well as holding a residency in "Bliss" St. Martin. Gaining momentum, word about this young talent began to spread and she soon found herself opening for headliners like Danny Tenaglia, James Zabiela and Deep Dish, amongst other household names.
These days, Matuss is based in Los Angeles, CA where she holds a permanent residency at “Back in the USSR,” in Avalon; one of the world’s most popular clubs as well as an exclusive residency with Radio FG USA. Radio FG is the #1 Dj Radio Worldwide and boasts residencies from Bob Sinclair, Carl Cox, Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren. Matuss can also be found expanding her fan base at LA hotspots such as Playhouse, Exchange LA and The Standard, amongst many other nightclubs. One of her latest projects involves integrating electronic music with an all out burlesque-style production and live melodies from a variety of instruments, such as the violin, saxophone, drums and piano. Outrageously outfitted and beautiful dancers called Rockachic groove to Matuss as she plays alongside violinist, Rachel Grace; all three factor seamlessly and merge together to bring an unforgettable audio and visual experience. 


When she is not captivating audiences with her eclectic sound and production, you can find her enthralled in the studio, her blatant obsession with music not bothersome to her one bit.
“I think the goal and what I was made for in this world is to just make people as happy as I can; through my music, they can be a part of something and we share a moment in time. Every time I perform, every gig I play, I like to think that I leave a part of myself with every person, that each of them has left with a part of my soul, because my soul is my music.”
