ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Alex Smoke – Soma Records/Vakant – UK/DE – LIVE PA

http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/alexsmoke/

Alex Smoke is a Scottish talent making electronic records that blur together European minimalism, pop structures and emotional strings and pads. He has released two full length albums, ‘Incommunicado’ and ‘Paradolia’ [Soma Records] and a slew of singles and remixes, many of which have arrived on Soma and German label Vakant.

His debut release ‘Random As’ came out in January 2002, but Smoke has always been immersed in music. In his youth he sang in a choir for four years (a far cry no doubt from the mournful tones on his ‘Don’t See the Point’ or ‘Never Want to See You Again’), his parents are involved in classical music, and he has classical training in cello and piano.

Smoke’s own productions are often described as moody, a reputation he doesn’t shy away from. His debut on Soma was the euphoric ‘Chica Wappa’, described by Smoke as “undoubtedly the most optimistic track I’ll ever write. My music will never be this upbeat again.” His wish might have come true: recently Smoke’s remix work on Vakant and especially his reedit of Junior Boys ‘In the Morning’ have focused heavily on melancholic electronica, although Smoke has a noisy, brash side too, evidenced on big tracks such as ‘Meany’ and ‘Brian’s Lung’.

Smoke both performs live and DJs, and his agenda as a spinner is perhaps well represented by ‘Sci-Fi-Hi-Fi Vol. 3’ from 2006. His debut DJ mix combined a fascination with dub techno, classic Detroit (Smoke is not averse to playing old records at all) and new European minimal techno.

Alex was recently named as breakandenter’s best headliner by fan poll and we’re pleased to have him back for this auspicious occasion.

Adam Marshall – New Kanada/Cynosure/Dumb Unit – CA/DE

http://soundcloud.com/the-secret-agency/adam-marshall-ra-253

http://soundcloud.com/the-secret-agency/adam-marshall-ra-ex005

http://soundcloud.com/adam-marshall

It has become de rigeur to talk about boundary-hopping artists, but in Marshall’s case, he’s earned his reputation as a trailblazer. Born and raised in Toronto, and now based in Berlin, he’s been active as a producer, DJ, promoter and label head for some 10 years now. But, at a point in his career where other musicians find themselves slowing down and settling into their comfort zone, Marshall seems refreshingly unencumbered by his past achievements—and equally unconstrained by the limits of the scene around him. Marshall has long been a top-notch producer, but the past few years have seen his work getting more inspired, more experimental and more confident in its own path.

It’s hard to put a name to the music Marshall is making these days. Although rooted in house and techno—particularly in its lush chords and rich, analog feel—it has just as much to do with contemporary mutations in bass music. See, for instance, his masterful “North at Night,” released in 2009 on Cynosure, which filtered resonant dub techno through skippy UK garage rhythms, featured one of the most lyrical synth leads in recent memory, and took the bold step of all but subtracting the kick drum. In his DJ sets, Marshall makes even more explicit the link between precision-tooled techno and bass music’s rhythmic trickery, playing fast, tight and dexterous. And a new sub-label, NKLTD, promises to focus even more intently on music falling outside the confines of house and techno as they’ve come to be known.

Komodo – Sambal Records – Montreal –LIVE PA

http://komododubs.com/

http://soundcloud.com/sambal

Komodo is a Montreal-based composer, musician and DJ who specializes in playing fast dub basslines on the Australian didgeridoo, producing heavy beats and bass, and playing an assortment of other instruments such as Turkish flute and frame drum. His DJ sets feature live performance on his instruments and showcase many of his original tracks produced specifically for his live shows.

In Montreal, Komodo currently runs a bass music night called Komodo Dubs that has been graced by such international electronic music luminaries as N-Type, Shackleton, Goth-Trad, Benga, 2562, Sukh Knight, RSD, and Caspa. Komodo’s brand new full-length album, entitled Shadow Dance, was released on May 24th, 2011.

Suma has been crafting distinct events since 1998 and the common thread that binds us together time after time is LOVE. Love of art, love of community, love of dancing and, above all, the love of music!

After several collaborations, a year has passed since our last chakra event. We now look to the Heart Chakra, (Anahata or the unstruck sound), and we are reminded of the powerful message that resonates and pulses through pure soun d.

This Winter Solstice let’s celebrate once again and open our hearts to the pulse…

ABOUT SOME OF OUR FEATURED ARTISTS …

Nagata Shachu Taiko Group – TORONTO
*Watch their video
Nagata Shachu has enthralled audiences across North America and Europe with its mesmerizing, heart-pounding performances of the taiko (drum) and other traditional Japanese instruments.  Taking its name from founder Kiyoshi Nagata and the Japanese word shachu meaning group, Nagata Shachu masterfully combines unbounded spirit and passion with the highest levels of musicianship and discipline.

Arthur Oskan – TORONTO
*Listen to some of his remixes
Toronto Canada’s Arthur Oskan is known for his powerfully resonating dance floor releases.

Representing his stylistic range, Oskan’s productions have been released on a variety of labels including Beretta Music, Restructured, Secret Weapon, Cratesavers, and Matrix Records. Under his Myers Briggs guise, he’s recorded for such labels as Beretta Grey, Thoughtless Music, and Noah Pred’s Sentient Sound who subsequently released his widely successful track “Forever.”

Not surprisingly, several of the world’s top dj’s and producers – Funk D’Void, Los Hermanos, Chymera, James Holden, Nic Fanciulli, Hernan Cattaneo, and Fabrice Lig, have given top praise for his past and current releases.

As one of Toronto’s leading live acts, Oskan has performed alongside such international artists including Omar S, Troy Pierce, Alex Under, and Someone Else.

Arthur continues to perform live and produce music for several labels throughout 2010, and is now working with Fabric London’s publishing arm to further grow his international exposure.

Spooloops – KITCHENER
*Listen to a live set
Spooloops is a live electronic music project of Ian James Newton, an artist whose creative output encompass music and contemporary art. Ian has coordinated legendary social interventions and interactive gatherings since 2000, mainly in his studio ‘Zero to One’, a multi-disciplinary art venue in Kitchener, Ontario. The music of Spooloops is an unexpected combination of booty shakin’ dance floor pleasure and deep space techno pop. He transports listeners through a kaleidoscopic  journey, with zero gravity basslines where Detroit meets the Jetsons. His potent live sets are crafted using older mid-quality hardware; Roland MC505, Yamaha SU700, Korg ESX-1.  Embracing the innate awkwardness and  specific quirks of this gear adds a beautiful controlled loosness to the sound.

Recent projects include closing events and sound sculptures for for Kitchener’s Open Ears Festival of Sound and New Music and a live performance at mutek 2010.

Aerodromme – TORONTO
*Listen to a live set
Aerodrömme, a vibrant fresh Canadian act, was created by Boris “Shankar” Kurtzman and Steve Chan. The two members share strong passion for music. Steve Chan comes from a hard trance/full-on psy world with his established project Nexus7 while Boris Shankar arrives from a progressive/techno scene as a successful DJ for Tribal Vision Records. Aerodrömme’s sound can be described as a blend of progressive house and techno with elements of trance and electro. Within a year of its existence, Aerodrömme has released music on such prominent labels as Blue Tunes Records, Tribal Vision, Spiral Trax, Plusquam, Air Snare and Teggno Records; and received support from heavyweights such as Wehbba, Perfect Stranger, Re-Zone (Toolroom Records), NASA, Astronivo, Duca, John Deere, and Mapusa Mapusa, just to name a few.

Taal Mala – VANCOUVER
*Listen to a set
Often described as un-categorizable, Taal Mala’s music is inspired by new ideas and classic standards,and takes influence from a diverse selection of both new and classic sounds. Genre-defying acts of synth genius and production lustre form a solid foundation for Taal Mala’s destruction of any soundboy who comes to test it.  Dubstep, Grime, Jungle, Acid, Hardcore and Reggae are all partially responsible for the fusion that is created.  As a member of the SUB-OSC and Lighta! soundsystems, Taal Mala has buried an excess of tin pan soundboys alongside The Bug, Kode9, Loefah, Venetian Snares, Rusko, Benga, Skream, Hatcha, Youngsta, Martyn…etc.

NiKO – GUELPH
*Listen to a Dj set
NiKO aka Nick Coghlin has been heavily influenced by all styles of music since childhood. Spending upwards of 10 years studying classical and jazz piano, Nick took on new challenges that in no way, his traditional musical training could prepare him for. Having been playing various genres of electronic music over the years, his love for dj’ing has been consistent across the board with no end in sight. Currently set on making a name for himself in the Toronto dubstep scene, NiKO has been working in the studio to bring out his own style that separates him from other dime-a-dozen djs and producers. Working in the studio with Ill.Gates, he is ready to have his original works heard by the masses with some tunes already getting played abroad by Toronto’s Ill.Gates (Muti Music) and local support from 40Hz frontman, Spyne. Having played alongside Heyoka, Mutt, Spyne, Jonah K, Rollin Cash, and the Dubslingers crew, NiKO can’t wait to see who he’ll share the dj booth with next. With big plans in the future including a weekly internet radio show on Dubplate.fm and a music review/news column on brokenbeat.ca be sure to hear more original works, mixes and live shows from this bass music advocate!

It’s a B-B-B-B-BONESHAKER, BABY! SUMA and breakandenter invite you to shake your bones at our second annual Hallowe’en extravaganza. So get ready to crash sternums, thrash pelvii, freak femurs and make your coccyx quiver at …

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Dub Gabriel

Producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist, Dub Gabriel has been pushing the boundaries of rock, dub, world and electronic music for over a decade. His musical explorations in Brooklyn in the mid 90’s drew him to the outer limits of the New York scene where he got his start as a DJ at the legendary Limelight. His genre-bending style and hard-hitting sets launched him as a trailblazing figure in the New York underground club scene and gained him the attention of leading publications including Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine who hailed Dub Gabriel as “one to watch” in New York City.

Fast-forward to today and Dub Gabriel continues to build on this legacy in everything he does – whether it’s creating genre defying original music, remixing projects or throwing down slamming DJ sets. Most recently he has collaborated with Michael Stipe on a track for the album Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs of Mark Mulcahy, which also features tracks from Thom Yorke, The National, Mercury Rev and Frank Black. This is his second collaboration with Stipe – the first one being for Dub Gabriel’s 2008 album, Anarchy & Alchemy. The album has garnered critical acclaim from leading publications Pitch Fork, New York Magazine, The Wire and CMJ, with Exclaim Magazine naming it the “Best Dance Album of the Year”.

In between working on his upcoming fourth studio album; which features collaborations with a diverse crew of legendary artists that include U Roy, David J (Bauhaus/Love & Rockets), members of Gogol Bordello and many others; 2009 has seen Dub Gabriel dropping remixes for Balkan Beat Box (J Dub), Raiz (Universal) and a soon-to-be-released remix for the uncompromising No-Wave pioneers, Suicide. Staying true to his multi-cultural roots, he is also working on a side project with Bachir Attar & The Master Musicians of Jajouka, which will culminate in both a studio release and a live touring project. If all of that isn’t enough, he continues to stay busy composing for TV & film and has written music for MTV, VH-1 and Nickelodeon, as well as scoring an upcoming feature film staring Bradley Cooper.

As a DJ, Dub Gabriel is much in demand on the international club circuit dropping sets alongside other genre defying DJ’s and artists that include, Kode 9, DJ Craze, Banga, Bomb Squad, Jazzanova, Scientist and Meat Beat Manifesto. He is a regular guest at Francois K’s legendary Deep Space night at Cielo and has even held down sets at Givenchy’s runway show during China Fashion Week in Beijing, Puma’s World Cup party in Berlin and the 50th Anniversary of the Peace Bell Ceremony at the United Nations!

Pezzner

To all but the most literate of electronic music buffs, Seattle’s Dave Pezzner may seem like a relative newcomer to the house and techno community. His debut Pezzner album, the much heralded ‘The Tracks Are Alive’ dropped on Freerange in 2010, following a spate of releases on the label since 2008. Subsequent releases on Om Records and Urbantorque, as well as remixes for American staple labels Mothership and Ghostly International have projected Pezzner once again on to the worldwide stage.

However those that have been watching and listening long enough have probably already discovered his work as one half of West Coast house duo Jacob London, noted for releases going back ten years on the likes of Doubledown and Classic Records. For 16 years he cut his chops with partner Bob Hansen, creating eccentric house and break beat rhythms.

Pezzner’s own work could be said to be more serious, with an abstract artistic sensibility, lofty percussive themes and intentions to create hypnotic soundscapes for the body as well as the brain. ‘The Tracks Are Alive’ is a 13-track walk-through of his organic sounding style, in full dance-floor mode traversing with ease between disco, house and techno.

Featuring heaps of brand new productions, remixes and originals, his live set has taken him to the far reaches of the dance music globe from the festival stages of Montreal’s Mutek Festival and Movement Festival in Detroit, to the DJ booths of renowned clubs like Cielo in New York, and Space in Ibiza. The recent completions of hugely successful European and Australian tours signal the launch of his critical assault on the wider global circuit.

Sassmouth

Sassmouth settled in Chicago from San Francisco via New York City in 2000 where she rapidly reoriented her life to the weekly rhythm of electronic dance music culture. Using her musical training and diverse experience performing live as both a member of string quartets and punk bands, she aggressively attacked the techno question throughout the first decade of the millennium. Sam’s DJ sets reflect her love of dialectics – a tribute to her early explorations into musical yin and yang. Stripped down sounds mutate into jacking funky house, punchy techno, and beautiful sub bass lines and melodies.

Sassmouth found a musical kinship with like-minded Chilean artists while living in Santiago. She continues to return to her past residence to perform at the techno centre, La Feria. Upon returning to Chicago, Samantha performed regularly throughout the U.S., promoted a variety of underground and club events in her home town, and built a friendly and supportive online home for the electronic dance music community with her website naughtybadfun.org. Sam also continues her standard commute to beloved Detroit where she gained great inspiration and experience playing at club events and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival.

Sam, now working out of her creative base in London, regularly contributes original tracks and remixes to projects for the Detroit-based label Hej Records while continuing to play dates in the Americas and Europe. Sassmouth, always the social being, is currently working on musical joint efforts with Jason Dunlap of Chicago, djing back to backs with the Punisher of Detroit, and as ‘Pimpi Vampi’ with Chilean partner in crime, Ivan Stipicic.

Some details about our artists:

TIMOTHY WISDOM

Timothy Wisdom is the most sought-after powerhouse behind Vancouver’s
exploding intentional dance community. His sets literally lift audiences off
their feet, arousing ecstatic screams from the crowd in a relentless stream
of perpetual sonic mayhem. Combining the tricks of turntablism and MCing,
with productions that cross multiple music styles, his shows are far from
your average night out dancing. Just when you thought the party couldn’t get
any better, Timothy Wisdom will get the place roaring.

PLUMDRAGONESS

Gabrielle Casella initially became interested in yoga practices during her childhood as a result of visiting her Sikh friends & neighbors who had a private shrine/studio in their home. Stimulated by her early interest in the healing arts she began as a young adult studying Hatha and later Ashtanga yoga while in college from 1996-1998. In 1999, Gabrielle immersed herself in the Chinese medical practices of Taoist internal/martial art forms by training with Master Chik Quadir Mason, founder of the Spirit Wind Internal Arts Society (www.spiritwind.be). She received certifications of study in various healing arts such as Kung Fu, Pa-Kua Chang, Dao Yin Yoga, Chi Kung, Tai Chi Chuan, in addition to bodywork techniques such as Lin Zi Chi Therapy & Thai Massage, as well as participating in group collaborations, demonstrations & performances. In 2000, she earned her B.A. from Temple University’s Department of Theater with an exploratory concentration in dance, music & voice. As an apprentice, Gabrielle was recommended by Sifu Mason to begin teaching his lessons & encouraged to integrate them along with the material she studied as a multi-disciplinary performance artist. In 2001, she joined the Philadelphia based theater company, ArcheDream for HumanKind where she began to develop her signature style of movement meditation in combination with performance presentation into a system of practice. Aside from her role as assistant artistic director, she was a lead performer and choreographer who also facilitated healing arts & theater/movement/dance workshops training company members until 2006 (www.archedream.com). Gabrielle’s work as a healing arts practitioner and instructor continues to intersect with her work as an inter-disciplinary performance artist through the incorporation of internal and martial arts forms in combination with dance, poetry and theater presentation (www.myspace.com/plumdragoness). Gabrielle is a certified yoga teacher, registered & insured through the Yoga Alliance.  She has also studied Ashtanga Yoga with Miko-Doi Smith, Yin Yoga with Sarah Powers, Vinyasa Yoga with the Rasa School, Yang style T’ai Chi Chuan with Master Yang Jun, Taoist (Yin/Yang) Yoga with Master Pauli Zink & Thai Bodywork with Michael Buck. She facilitates private lessons, group classes/workshops & is available for Thai Bodywork sessions.
