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 leaves his House: Piknic Electronik wrap-up

Sach O avoided sunburn while drinking copious amounts of white wine. He’s going to tell you about it. If you see DJs frantically performing reverse rain dances in Montreal, you know Piknic season has arrived. The climatically superior brother of Igloofest, Piknic Electronik is the city’s 21st century bread and circuses: a weekly, mainstream, outdoor… Continue reading »

Son Raw @ DJWeb.TV

Son Raw could have probably done a bit more for the camera. As usual, I’m loathe to use this site for personal gain but this is pretty cool: see that video up there? That’s a stream of my performance last night on DJWeb.TV’s Beat Freakz show complete with trippy psychedelic effects and transitions. A-live-in-the-studio recording… Continue reading »

Summer Jamz – Son Raw Live @ Bassdrive

Son Raw is Sach O for those who don’t know. Summer Jamz is an ever-changing experience for me. When I dropped my first mix in the series way back in 2008, I was traveling the South-Asian seas and decided to send something in a whim because I hadn’t done any music writing in 6 months.… 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 »

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: Joe Nice, Bob Marley & Sunday Morning Stella

Sach O shouldn’t mix drinks. Even I who usually abhor the sporting life, am gearing up to watch the big game as soon as I ward off last night’s hangover but at the risk of being contrarian, I’ll avoid posting anything “Black and Yellow” related here lest I incur the wrath of Zeus. Besides, did… Continue reading »

Sach O: Terror Danjah Interview (Igloofest)

Sach O is lobbying to host “Yo! MTV Grime!” For a man with a stage name befitting a Marvel Comics super villain, Terror Danjah’s a nice guy. I recently caught up with the Grime Don at Montreal’s Igloofest and asked him a couple questions about his career resurgence, the state of Grime in London, some… 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 »
