GRANNY'ARK Granny'Ark=Michelle Irving=electronic music&media artist I
merge organic sounds, field recordings, spagetti western+folk music
sources into minimal techno experiements and audio statements. My current
mission is to create immersive sonic and visual experiences which can take
a person right into the music, thus transcending the alienation and
technocentric fascination fo the 'laptop musician'. Key stuff some of the
places granny ark presnted work at in'02 and'03 were: "Threshold", Polli
Talu, Estoni, The Zakk, Bremen, Germany, NBI, Berlin, Germany, the SAT,
Montreal, Canada, and Signal and Noise 2003, Vancouver,
Canada.(LivePA/video) Summer Tour 2003 coming soon:

NOAH PRED Unceasing, ever-changing. A
vastness of immense mountains, towering trees, and cold flowing waters.
Neutral in the beauty of all its unforgiving cycles, the natural world is
a primary source of inspiration for the music of Noah Pred. Attempting to
translate the experience of life's rhythmic yet unpredictable essence to
the contemporary dancefloor while employing the latest in digital music
technology, the aesthetic is both futuristic and organic. Hailing from
Canada's lush West Coast, Noah Pred emerged from Vancouver's underground
as a sought-after techno DJ with a sophisticated sound and unique style.
Producing dance music and performing live for over five years, he recently
relocated to Montreal to continue his study of electronic music and to
integrate his influences with a community of internationally respected
techno artists. Under his FSP moniker, Noah has released music on esteemed
tech-house label Nordic Trax, for their critically-acclaimed Necessary
Pieces 2 compilation. Recording as Primordial Nature, he was featured on
Deepen Discs' debut Night Vision EP, and has also released on Swedish
label Audio Beyond. Under his own name, he has 12's appearing on Montreal
label Consigned Recordings, and further releases scheduled with
established international labels such as Choke Music, Immigrant Records,
and Intrinsic Design. His releases have received international support,
appearing on charts from such renowned talent as Carl Cox, Cari Lekebusch,
Monika Kruse, Pascal F.E.O.S. and Adam Jay. As a DJ and live performer,
Noah has played in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Salt
Lake City, Victoria, Edmonton, Calgary, and Toronto. Quickly becoming a
local favorite in Vancouver, he earned residencies with Chaos Theory,
Tribal Harmonix and S.O.T.U. This led to headlining slots at clubs such as
Sonar and Deepen, and performances at festivals and raves alongside
international talent including Carl Cox, Derrick May, and Mark Farina. In
Montreal, his first appearance DJing was for the prestigious Epsilon Lab
collective. His well-received tech-house mixing style has led to further
bookings with esteemed event producers Vibesensor, Tekstyle and Les
Passagers, as well as a weekly residency at plateau hot-spot Les Folies.
With a keen ear for new sounds, he also does A+R for Canadian tech-house
label, Consigned Recordings.

resident artist bios:
naw
Montreal native Neil Wiernik aka naw, is a media artist turned electronic
music composer he
began his explorations in electronic music makeing as early as 1988.
Known to push the boundaries of his musical form from designing new or
manipulating existing sound making devices and software to creative uses
of production environments and sound sources. Even though Neil's (naw)
composition and production styles are diverse, he keeps a central focus
throughout all his production: experimentation. Neil has released music
under his given name and under the pseudonym of naw, on various national
and international record labels, including releases on Noise Factory
Records, Piehead Records, A/S Systems, Wabi Recordings, Future Rhetoric
Recordings, Subversico, Ohm/Avatar, RRR and Total Zero. As naw, Neil has
performed extensively along side a variety of national and international
artists both in and outside of Canada.
sarcastic
The evil genius behind
Montreal-based underground techno pantheon Level 4 Productions, this
amorphous being has contributed to the subculture's cabalistic causes on
many levels for the past decade. Possessed since childhood with a needling
drive to splice together discrete musical compositions, first with
cassette decks, microphones, CD players or 8-tracks, it was only a matter
of time before an unwitting companion introduced Sarcastic to his destiny:
the Technics 1200. His love for the chugging repetitive nature of techno,
acid house and hardcore genres remains informed by an early appreciation
for hip-hop, stoner rock, jazz and psychedelia of all sorts. Equally at
home behind two or three decks, Sarcastic has performed at virtually all
local clubs; he1s conquered the main room of Sona, Montreal1s longest
standing afterhours venue, annihilated
the main stage at Arrival, the city's largest outdoor festival, and, with
the Level 4 Productions famiglia, has DJed and collaborated with numerous
local promotion companies, including Nice Productions, Morphee, Renegade
Legion, Alien Crew, Clonk, Kirk6, Aria, 514, etc., performing
coast-to-coast across the country alongside such techno luminaries as
Frankie Bones, Thomas Krome, The Punisher, Andrew Duke, Algorithm,
Teknobrat, Granny Ark, OS/2, Miss Innocent, Yaz, Preach, DJ Kal and
countless others. Describing his own style as 'tek', Sarcastic1s interests
range from the dark looping industrial techno of label cohorts Kidstatik
aka the Underground Shadow, the funky tek-house of Simmetrik aka Simon G.,
to his own tongue-in-cheek ghetto-tek productions based largely on
recognizable samples from such disparate sources as movies, rap or funk.
Residencies at Jai bar, Blue dog, Jingxi or Amnesia have seen Sarcastic
spinning anything from pure tek, minimal and experimental techno to acid
and deep house; some even surmise that Sarcastic plays hip-hop, downtempo
and DnB under alternate guises. It1s downright impossible to pin down the
numinous wiles of the Sarcasm.
what is bleep
BLEEP is a monthly electronic
music experiment in the heart of downtown Montreal, bringing together two
of the city's foremost promoters and innovators of cutting edge techno,
Clonk and Level 4 Productions. Residents 'naw' and Sarcastic will provide
