I’m Asad Khan — a producer, musician, singer, and DJ.

Formerly known as Khanvict, I built a career as a high-energy DJ — a path that reflected one part of me, but not all. My many parts didn’t always seem like they could exist in the same room,
let alone the same person.

Born in Pakistan, I’m deeply influenced by mystic Sufi philosophy, the listening traditions passed down from my grandfather, and my mother’s poetic sensibility. I was fortunate to be exposed to the greats of Pakistani music — Mehdi Hassan, Noor Jahan, and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan — from a very young age.

When I moved to Canada at 13, I was swept into the world of electronic music and its immersive soundscapes. I became both an engineer and an artist, rooted in heritage and modern innovation. For a long time, I felt I had to choose between tradition and experimentation, art and science, the East and the West — which left me feeling isolated and misunderstood. I didn’t quite belong anywhere, because I belonged to all of it. I now understand these worlds aren’t separate — they’re connected through my own, and our collective, existence.

My sound is about reclaiming that truth. I blend cinematic textures, rich low-end frequencies, and live instrumentation, drawing from Qawwali, Ghazal, and Indian classical forms. Committed to high-fidelity sound, I work to bring depth and clarity to classical and folk-rooted music. For me, it’s not about performance — it’s about connection: to self, to spirit, to others, and between worlds. I aim to create work that is timeless, ever-evolving, and deeply human.

nêhiyawak hails from amiskwaciy on Treaty 6 territory. Comprised of Kris Harper, Matthew Cardinal, and Marek Tyler, three Indigenous musicians coalescing at the intersection between traditional and contemporary music. Their sound at times loud and sweeping, and in moments - reticent and careful. Their first EP in November 2016 with Colin Stewart (The New Pornographers, Black Mountain, and Dan Mangan) the music balances the band’s heritage with the present. Indie-rock guitar and dance floor synths blend and walk alongside the steady beats of carved cedar log and hand drums. nêhiyawak tells stories, capturing them in time through honeyed and haunting vocals, swaying in and out of the cacophony of electronic and analog sounds. Within the framework of the conventional song, the band creates and adds their own history and stage. Collecting and piecing together their experiences —existing simultaneously between diverse and disparate cultures— nêhiyawak shares with its audience their unique expression of Indigeneity in Canada today.

Derek Deon is a songwriter, performer, and recording artist based in Ashland, Oregon. Being a producer who enjoys using the studio and the stage as a sonic canvas, he enjoys somber, sensuous music, and copious amounts of reverb and delay in his guitar and vocal tones. As a performer born out of DIY ambitions, house venues, and a soft-spot for sappy pop songs, Derek Deon provides audiences with a soulfully vibrant energy that aims to make them swoon. His studio recordings can be found on most major streaming platforms and at derekdeon.com, along with dates and information on upcoming performances.

Derek Deon's debut LP, Floating in the Backseat While the World Goes by, is driven by a sense of nostalgia for long drives home in the backseat of his grandparent's car, layered beneath unapologetically blunt feelings of longing, insecurity, possession, and comfort; of romance through the lens of adolescence and novelty.
