The group, comprised of members Simon Chioini, Devon Hansen, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Philippe Vandal, and Gabriel Ledoux, are determined to turn the leaf for a new generation of experimental producers, with the aim of acting as a confluence between a wide range of styles and cliques in the Montreal electronic music scene. Despite sitting comfortably at the vanguard of contemporary music, Coverdale articulates that their output “can still stand alongside other more popular forms of music [which] isn’t idealistic, rather merely a reflection of the way we interact socially now.”

Also later this month, we will be hosting Simon and Devon for a very special Nuit Blanche, which you can learn more about here.

I was lucky enough to put my hands on a few of the chill and moody records from the collection. You can tell easily this is not what it focuses on, but the ones you can grab are amazing. Here, it’s all about chords and vibes, starting with the early D. Diggler and the Exos track as an intro. Then, the Native Sampler record is the one that caught all of my attention. All of it is great, but the B side, with an unexpected pre-dubstep track from Ben Sims that’s really before its time, and Nuron’s “Electric Arc”, is golden. Another special mention to John Selway’s “RECOLLECT (Rapture Version)” that got us vibing in the studio. These 6 tracks would actually blend well in a 30min mix!
