FLORIAN :: Sunset Labs, Audio Planet | Victoria
www.sunsetlabs.ca/florian
[tech-funk, crunkstep, glitch-hop]
It was a dance party in an industrial zone of Vancouver that was Florian's introduction to electronica, and he immediately knew he wanted to get involved with the scene. Quickly thereafter he was getting involved in all sorts of events, from indoor shows to multi-day outdoor festivals including Shambhala, In:Vision, Diversity, and Entheos. When Florian was 16, he began investigating the alchemy of beats, basslines and melody -- seeking the transformative quality they hold on a dancefloor with the potential to unify each person into the interactive whole. He's studied the domains of dub, breaks, glitch, trance, and house in all it's forms with great dilligence, and now uses these modules to deliver a potent blend of sonic bliss that draws each individual into the dancefloor experience. Climbing the ranks from partier, to waste management, to harm reduction, to event planning, Florian is now a budding producer, promoter, and manager of Sunset Room - Victoria's only all hours dance venue. Stay tuned for lots more from this committed & growing addition to the BC scene!
CHRISTOPH MAITLAND :: Sunset Labs | Victoria
www.sunsetlabs.ca/christophmaitland
A decade of DJing in Victoria has seen Christoph Maitland evolve from one of the Premier Djs in Canada to a hot up and coming producer. Winning the Hush Night Club (www.hushnightclub.ca) DJ Competition in 2002 would lead to Christoph being resident at Canada’s longest running club night institution, Lush. Playing weekly alongside the world’s biggest names Christoph’s mix of grindy electro, pumpin house, progressive and futuristic breaks radiated with audiences. A true performer Christoph knows how to work his audience into a fever pitch with his immaculate mixing skills, energy and outright enthusiasm for great dance music! Not only is he one of Canada’s hottest DJs, he is also billed as being one of the hottest up and coming producers to watch in the industry. Calling Pop & Lock Records (run by Canadian Breaks star Myagi) home he has recently seen success getting plays by Annie Nightengale on BBC radio 1, being remixed by Alex Mind, Toby Emerson, Quadrat Beat, Farace, Run Riot and more. Exciting new and up and coming projects include remixes for Lazy Rich’s Big Fish Recordings and UK’s formidable breaks player, Dead Famous Recordings.
