"A Revolution without dancing is not a Revolution worth having"
International Storyteller, beat weaver, poet, and vocalist; AppleCat was raised on the West Coast of Canada, and specializes in Deep Bass, Cosmic Carnal, Dubstep, Gypsywubs, Trap, World, and IDM. Music and the dance it invokes has been her number one passion since they day she was born.
Poetry and grace, mixed with live mashup, reworking, blending melodic cosmic sound, with carnal deep bass - AppleCat's sets bend the perception of "genre" and plus a little "je ne sais quoi."
AppleCat is also the focus of a feature documentary about women in electronic music ‘Amplify Her’, releasing worldwide in 2017. http://www.amplifyher.com/

J.F.Killah has graced the decks in Europe, New Zealand, United States, Central America and performed at several Canadian festivals including Shambhala, Bass Coast, and Rifflandia.

Alex Mei - https://soundcloud.com/alexmei
Growing up all over the world, and cutting her party teeth at a young age in the nightlife of Bristol and Madrid, this globe trotting enigma has her finger perpetually on the pulse of the sexy underground.
Alex Mei pours her energy and soul into her sets. She is a malleable DJ and takes the listener on an enticing journey in every which direction. She is unpredictable in the best possible way. A skilled pianist, and a composer at heart, Miss Mei was exposed to dance music at the age of 11, and hit the dance floor shaking. Genre’s have no meaning to Alex Mei, so she has labeled her mixing style as the ‘lizard twerk’. She is known for her endurance and her ability to continue playing and changing the vibe up for hours on end. She broke records playing a 21 hour set at Curiosity Festival in 2016. Her sleep bass style has traversed the map, from Costa Rica to Australia and back, headlining our Canadian festivals and winning every DJ contest she has entered. A true DJ, she is ready for anything the night might throw at her, from overly rowdy crowds top broken CDJs, she prides herself on the ability to pull off a wicked set no matter the circumstances. Next up, catch her full length multi-genre album set to be released this winter.
