Electronic Dance Music has reached a new frontier, with MC Flipside at the helm. One part legend, one part visionary, MC Flipside is an EDM pioneer whose experience constantly propels the genre forward, pushing boundaries and pleasing audiences. A DJ, music producer, songwriter, vocalist and performer, Flipside is as talented as he is diverse. His myriad of musical abilities has earned him the reputation as Canada’s Most Versatile EDM artist, drawing music heavyweights to his studio and selling out shows worldwide.
A trailblazer in his hometown of Toronto, Canada, Flipside was a key player in galvanizing its underground music scene. He continues to attract droves of fans, performing regularly at Guvernment (Canada’s number one EDM club,) This is London and the legendary Comfort Zone. Flipside has toured the globe, playing shows across North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. In the last 5 years alone, Flipside has had over 50 chart-topping tracks on Beatport, iTunes, Track it Down and Stompy. This includes consecutive No. 1 tracks in multiple genres; including House, Techno, Progressive, Electro and Breaks.
Flipside is sought out and supported by some of the industry’s biggest names: Deadmau5, Armand Van Helden, Bob Sinclair, David Guetta, Wolfgang Gartner, Laidback Luke, Josh Wink, Swedish House Mafia, Kaskade, Axwell and Paul Van Dyk. MC Flipside (MC aptly stands for Music Creator) is founder and owner of PBR Recordings, which is home to artists like A-Divizion, Bassjackers, Bart B More, Carlo Lio, DJ PP, Funkagenda, Hatiras, Matteo Di Marr and Prok and Fitch.
The same unbridled energy Flipside is known for on stage is also behind PBR’s sister record label, DBR Recordings, which concentrates on deeper tech sounds. He has also been featured on renowned international labels like Mau5trap, Toolroom Records, CR2, Ministry of Sound, Big In Ibiza and Ultra. Alongside Deadmau5, MC Flipside performed his track “Hi Friend” at the prestigious Juno Awards in 2012, Canada’s equivalent to the Grammys. MC Flipside is a two-time Juno nominee for his work on M1’s Robopop album (2005) and Get Blahsted (2009) with Hatiras.
Flipside sets are dynamic and enthralling, whether he is DJing or showcasing his vocal talent and unparalleled mic technique. This engaging performer plays to the audience, hyping them up where the show becomes a symbiotic relationship between audience and entertainer. In this day and age of calculated, formulaic sets, that type of organic experience makes MC Flipside stand out and shine. With Flipside the only thing you know you’re going to get is a jaw-dropping spectacle, as he takes you on the journey that so many of today’s EDM artists find elusive.
Personable, charming, witty and charismatic – you cannot teach someone to be a stage performer, and with Flipside it just comes naturally. Constantly praised for his uncanny ability to write melodies, chords, on-the-spot lyrics and freestyle poetry, music producers marvel at his seemingly endless supply of ideas and positive energy, truly making him unique and his own, very marketable, brand.
This year Flipside further cements his status as a world-class producer, beginning with the first of many releases, Draganno, a groundbreaking effort that highlights his studio artistry over his recognized vocals.
In an industry of one-hit wonders and overnight sensations, Flipside remains a constant.
He attributes this to his passion for the music, love of making audiences happy and remaining true to his heart— which, at the core, is house music. Never one to follow trends, his range of influences may surprise you: Michael Jackson, George Michael, Stevie Wonder, Green Velvet and Louie Vega. Why? In Flipside’s words, none of them can be duplicated, which is the sign of a real artist.
If that’s the case, then MC Flipside is the definition of a true entertainer.
