Music at Night 2 year anniversary show with special guests SUBFRACTAL! (Monday May 28)

This is a very special edition of Music at Night as we will be celebrating the 2 year anniversary of the shows launch on Digitally Imported. Since we have been on the air we have averaged 500+ listeners both local and international.

First off I would like to thank all the amazing djs and producers who have given their time and talent: Subfractal, Ovi M, Damian Definite, Glitter, Daniel Burton, Mike Conradi, Cam Maxwell, D-Unity, Kotov and Andre Wilde, and Anthony D’Amico, Jose Larkko, Iron Mike, Aerodrömme, Gridmode, Nicolas Oliver, and Nicholas Van Orton.

Secondly a big thank you to Digitally Imported for giving me an outlet to showcase my blend of techno and tech house. Finally and most important I must thank all the supporters and everyone who has tuned in and downloaded the sets over the past 24 months. I produced this show for fans of electronic music, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

SUBFRACTAL!!!

In an age of short attention spans and constant media bombardment, Subfractal have unquestionably cemented their position as powerful techno tastemakers. Growing up in Karachi, Pakistan, Fahad Ahmad and Syed Mishaal Raza, like so many others, aspired to follow in the footsteps of legends like Lawler, Tenaglia and Tong. However, Fahad and Syed didn’t cross paths until 2006 after they’d both moved to Canada, where the burgeoning electronic music scene and a common love of techno brought them together. After collaborating on a handful of projects, the musical chemistry between the duo became evident, and Subfractal was born.

Music at Night 023 with special guest Larkko (Monday March 26)

Jose Arayesh a.k.a ( Larkko ) musical influences stem from artists such as Peace Division, Timo Maas, Hernan Cattaneo, Carl Cox to todays top producers such as Kaiserdisco, Manuel de la Mare, David Herrera, Gonzalo & Gonzalez, Alex Kenji and Patrick M and many more as well as labels such as Hotfingers and Stereo Productions just to name a few.His career started after he got his first pair of Technics 1200’s in 1999 and began putting on successful events and parties around his local area where he quickly began establishing a name for himself at both live events and also radio shows.

Larkko is not just a whiz behind the decks, but also classically – trained pianist and has an extemely strong passion for art. Larkko’s developed his encyclopedic knowledge of electronic music by working in the local record shop and attending big parties capturing the right type of sound he wanted to pursue. It was at at the age of 16 when Jose Arayesh ( Larkko ) decided to pick up his first set of direct drive turntables and has never looked back since.

The type of sound that is captured in Larkko’s sets consist of deep groovy tribal tech rythyms to with hair raising floor stomping vocals that promise to keep you moving all night long. Larkko has never been afraid to take on fresh ideas and innovations. As a dj/producer, he can switch styles as only a bonafide musician can, but what sets him apart is the innate ability to combine in his sound double dose of rawness and elegance. Productions can be smooth & dreamy, or pounding ( often at the same time ). As dance music shifts & changes, he keeps on top and adapts, but still roots his production in quality & originality. Music is something more than an expression of art, it is a way of life.

Look out for Larkko’s rise, his sets & productions are not to be missed for the true house music lover.

Music at Night 022 with guest Daniel Burton (Monday Feburary 27)

First and foremost an enthusiast to all that is house, Dan is one of Toronto’s most promising up and coming DJ’s. Raised in Toronto, he was immediately immersed into a diverse, and very individualistic culture. When he was 8 years old he was given his first musical instrument, the bass guitar, and immediately knew he was going to be doing something with music in his future. By his mid teens he had continued to grow and grasp new concepts into music, and studied music theory both in and out of the classroom environment, developing a deep love of complex rhythms and nuances, and specifically gained interest in jazz and punk rock. One should take notice at his ability to pursue and make ideas become reality- 50 Shades of Red, a punk rock quintet influenced heavily by bands such as the Distillers, Bad Religion, Anti Flag, and bands not found in mainstream culture, (Dan’s First band) ended up being one his most successful ventures, playing all of Toronto’s hottest rock clubs including The Big Bop, The Docks, Koolhaus just to name a few- by the ripe age of 16. In such a performer was born, and Dan has been playing live shows ever since, whether as a bass player, or DJ in the Toronto club circuit.

With his integral blends of techno and tech house influences, Dan knows how to work a crowd. Having worked the Toronto bar/ lounge circuit, Dan is eager and ready to move on to the bigger stage. Being in close environments with DJ’s Nathan Barato, Cam Maxwell, George William, El Duran, Paranoid Jack, Tim Patrick, Iron Mike, Anthony D’Amico, Julien Loreto, Chris Fresque, Rob Lamberti, Maddy Frizzell, Luis Sastre and others – just to name a few- he has quickly progressed in the electronic music community.

Dan is not a rookie in the music industry, he works as a full time producer and Recording Engineer, as well as a touring musician, he knows what to do on the decks, how to work a crowd and to get them excited.

This ex- Audio Creep had a fantastic year in 2009-2010, having done interviews on Scenester radio, and played all over Toronto… including Guvernment, Film lounge, Lily Lounge, LOL lounge, opened for Steve Lawler on New years at Circa 2010, as well as played WMC 2010 w/ international artists Subfractal, Erphun + More. Ready to continue moving forward, look for Dan and his upcoming releases and events!
