Current Swell
Vancouver Island based band Current Swell is 4 guys on a mission. Scott Stanton, Davers Lang, Ghosty, and Chris Petersen (And recurring guest, Kiltlifter Dave) have a unique style of music that is deeply rooted in folk and blues, reggae inspired, and rock driven. The musical recipe is equal parts prairie and coastal, blending a couple of acoustic guitars, a lap slide, harmonica, drums, bass, and 3 vocal mics. This formula amounts to a tightly polished act and is pushing the boundary of what people know as "new" music.

How my brain works. Everyone has left and right brains, but more than likely favor one of the two. For me, I favor the left, the logical and analytical brain over the random and subjective right brain. This may be odd as it is said that artists are supposed to be right-brained thinkers but I can rationalize thinking the way that I do and still be a creative person. The best approach to being creative for me, is just to let myself be in the moment and allow everything surrounding me absorb into my thoughts.

How old are you? Too old!
First Car? 1962 hand painted Ford Falcon. The horn honked when you turned on the radio. I bought it for $550. A sweet ride!
Favorite thing about Canada? Jam busters

The Buried Life
Relying on goodwill, guts and gumption, Duncan, Ben, Dave and Jonnie travel the globe in a purple transit bus to complete a list of '100 things to do before you die' and to help encourage others to go after their own lists.
For every item they complete on their list, they help a stranger achieve one of their dreams. Everywhere they go they ask the question: What do you want to do before you die?

Tahuna Breaks
Since their beginnings in January 2005, Tahuna Breaks have always been a band built upon a simple philosophy- the love of music. With an open mind and an adventurous spirit, unafraid to mix genres and musical stylings- their ‘anything goes’ and sometimes unconventional approach is governed only by two criteria: passion and energy. The lifeblood of this band is live performance and it is from countless live gigs and tours that they have crafted their own brand of roots reggae, funk, soul and good old fashioned rock and roll.

Humans
Meet Peter Ricq and Robbie Slade, otherwise known as Vancouver’s electro-folk outfit, Humans. When Peter and Robbie met 2 years ago, it was not an obvious musical union. Robbie came from a Roots, Reggae background and favoured belting out folksy ballads, while Peter spoke in bpm and got his musical start djing at Montreal underground parties at the age of 19. After meeting at an art show in Vancouver, the two were compelled to work together and five months later, their first recording was born.

Top Less Gay Love Techno Party
The revolution is upon us. We are its dirty secret.
Formed in a sordid kitchen in Glasgow’s West End, two hearts’ conspiracies converged creating a duo of sluttery and hot pop plots. Crossing oceans and astral planes, TOP LESS GAY LOVE TEKNO PARTY has evolved into a six piece hooker pop powerhouse. TLGLTP combines the frivolous with the serious political agenda of mobilizing everyone to truly celebrate your birthday.
Happy Birthday! We love you.

Sun Wizard
Sun Wizard are a newly formed four-piece rock n’ roll band from Vancouver, BC. Their debut E.P was literally sweated out over four sun drenched days at the peak of last summer’s heat wave. Recorded at The Hive Studios by college rock auteur Colin Stewart, (Black Mountain, Sleepy Sun, Gigi, Ladyhawk, etc) the E.P was subsequently mixed by the equally talented Dave “Rave” Ogilvie (Sloan, Marilyn Manson, Skinny Puppy, NIN, etc) at Mushroom Studios.
