Photo by Miguel Legault Sach O danced so much that day, he sweat through his shirt. Untold’s set at Piknic will undoubtedly go down as a summer highlight around here: nothing like dope beats, a massive soundsystem, perfect weather and a beautiful sunset to end a great weekend. While our late night interview with the… Continue reading »

Sach O: Hissy Fit – Sunshine

Sach O: demented raver in a quarter-life crisis. Happy 4th from your neighbors to the North. May it be filled with grilled meats, fireworks and no old British ladies on your money. I’m a fan of UK Bass, the UK Monarchy? Not so much. I have no idea what Hissy Fit’s politics are but he… Continue reading »

Sach O: Jacques Greene invades London

Sach O’s all about some hardcore (yeah he likes it raw) I’m a little torn here. Against all odds, Jacques Greene manages to rescue straight-up deep House, a genre of music I’ve always identified with jet-setting human beings best not urinated on in cases of spontaneous combustion, and pushes it into a bass music framework.… Continue reading »

Son Raw – Sign of the Grime + CIXS

Son Raw is gonna start rocking a mask and hiding out like Burial. The monthly rounds of self-promotion are beginning to get uncomfortable but plug I must; one of the benefits of hiring a DJ with a media platform is that he’ll ostensibly use said media platform to promote your event. False modesty aside however,… Continue reading »

Sach O: Bowly’s MTL X Rinse FM Takeover

Sach O doesn’t watch sports so he roots for the home team musically I’ll start reviewing albums again when I start listening to them and I’ll get that Rinse-Guide up as soon as I finish it (sometime this year hopefully). Until then, here’s some Sunday Morning vibes from Montreal’s Bowly whose recent European tour culminated… Continue reading »

Sach O: MTL JUKE

Sach O would like to invite Chicago producers to send him some Juke tunes as well. I wasn’t able to hit up DJ Rashad’s set last Friday (damn) but my spies report that he was well received though the music apparently bewildered some people out of dancing. That’s how it is with Juke, a music… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Not just an internet phenomenon

Sach O: Master of the shameless plug Though the urge to to harness this site’s reach for maximum synergy is strong, I usually refrain from undue self-promotion around here, if only because there’s only so many ways to say “you should really come out and see me mix records!” That said, you really should come… Continue reading »

Sach O: of Igloos and Festivals

Sach O’s rocking Sean John long johns with a bubble goose. Though we’ve never established a strict policy around here in regards to local coverage, there’s an unspoken agreement that geographically-specific concerns are to be considered sparingly. Momentous occasions such as Lakers victories in LA or incredible gigs in Montreal get the props but otherwise,… Continue reading »

Son Raw – Live at Swing and Skip!

Sach O occasionally appears in public To be honest, I have no idea what percentage of this site’s readership lives in the Montreal area. General analytics indicate that the majority of the people who check out this blog reside on the East and West coasts of North-America (no love dirty south?) with a strong European… Continue reading »

Sach O: N-Type goes nuts on the radio, plays oldies.

Sach O can’t go on together…with suspicious minds! Ignore the mugshot/album cover, N-Type is one funny dude. How funny? Funny enough to use a week’s hour and half of Rinse FM airtime to play nothing but 70′s and 80′s pop tunes back in October. From “Red Red Wine” to more obscure boogie funk, dude goes… Continue reading »
