Junior Boys

From the word “go,” It’s All True has a spring in its step as opening track “Itchy Fingers” features lofty bpms in a range never explored on record by the group before and then, just as suddenly, the band shift gears to the sparse, brooding “Playtime.” From the confident stomp of “You’ll Improve Me” and the sophisticated pop of “A Truly Happy Ending” to the epic album closer of “Banana Ripple,” It’s All True is by far the Junior Boys most accomplished album to date.

Fathoms

Fathoms
Dark, organic ballads. Tortured LFOs. Electronic music from Vancouver, Canada with touches of Depeche Mode, Four Tet and Aphex Twin.
With a project 5 years in the making, it’s hard to believe there was a time where we couldn’t comprehend ever working together.   Divided by resentment and anger, it took many long hours before anything fruitful came of our strained partnership.
But If you have to describe a joke, it just isn’t funny anymore.  If a puzzle takes a few short minutes to solve, that is the duration in which you will …

Hot Sex and High Finance

Hot Sex and High Finance represents a greater dichotomy than the name suggests. Hailing from the vibrant community of East Vancouver, the dynamic duo of Pop Pete (Dylan Jones) and Skrypt (Lennon Burback) come from a background as diverse as their 80’s soaked anthems.
Combining dark synths and scathing lyrics, Hot Sex and High Finance have garnered a fanatic following through their electric live shows and clever music videos without ever having released an album

Autumn Reign

Autumn Reign is an electro house music producer from Vancouver, BC and has been producing beats and remixes for the better most part of his life. His journey with music started at age nine while on a class field trip, to what was then called Science World. During the field trip he found himself fascinated by an exhibit called “The Ear and You”, and in one room was a complete wall of keyboards all different in sound. Needless to say, Autumn Reign fell into the world of synths and electro sounds… It was only a natural progression before he began turning out beats, remixes and electro tracks..
