VINCENT LEMIEUX
For almost a decade, Vincent Lemieux has played an integral role in Montreal’s internationally acclaimed dance-music community. Lemieux is man who wears many different hats: curator, label owner, DJ, producer, taste-maker… this is a man who has done it all and inflected every project in his association with an indelible personal style.
Internationally, Vince is probably best known as one of the curators behind Montreal’s MUTEK Festival. Since 2000, he has helped shape his hometown conception of progressive electronic music through the acts he brings to town. When not programming the festival, Lemieux hosts two of the most cutting-edge techno weeklies in the city. His long-running Tuesday night at Salon Daomé, where he DJ’s alongside world-class talent, has become a staple in Montreal’s nightlife. Claude Von Stroke, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Zip, Sammy Dee, they’ve all graced the decks at Daomé courtesy of Vince.
As label owner of Musique Risquée, which he started with Akufen’s Marc Leclair, Lemieux is also responsible for fostering local and international talent. The label has released work by Atom TM, Akufen, Bruno Pronsatto, The Mole, Jichael Mackson, Guillaume & the Coutu-Dumonts, Philippe Cam, and others. Musique Risquée tracks have been featured on compilations by Crosstown Rebels, Tigersushi, Fabric, and Freud Am Tanzen. Vince has also spawned the city’s Soirée Risquée nights, now with over 30 incarnations, showcasing the label’s fine roster to enthusiastic fans.
Yet it is his work as a DJ that has caught the ears of the most listeners. Lemieux has toured the world as an ambassador for Montreal’s distinctive brand of micro-house. As the official MUTEK DJ, his sets have been a staple of festival showcase from China to Paris to Berlin and back. His DJing skills have found fervent followers all over the world, at events in Spain (Sonar), Mexico (MUTEK_MX), Chile (MUTEK_CL), and Argentina (MUTEK_AR).
Since 2006, Lemieux has been expanding into music production through collaborations with Guillaume Coutu-Dumont (as Flabbergast) and Stephen Beaupré (as Brandy Snifter). Currently he’s mixing first mix album of Musique Risquée greatest hits, which is due in 2008. In the next year, focus will shift increasingly to recording music and moving into the one domain of electronic music he has yet to conquer.

JICHAEL MACKSON
With a name as audacious and satirical as Jichael Mackson, it's a safe assumption that Boris Steffen is a man with a sense of humour. His tracks are a different matter, however, opting for a funkier, sunnier approach to slicing, dicing, and looping micro-samples into first-rate house music.
Since 2003, he's released a dozen singles on such boutique micro-house labels as Pastamusik, Phictiv, Liebe*Detail and Musique Risquée. More early singles appeared under the aliases Monaco Jam and Sista Bob. Watch out for his latest release on Musique Risquée - Sugarhill Mountain ( RISQUEE022 )

MOSSMOSS
Music is greatly influenced by geography, and the case of Mossmoss (Mattie Bowen) is no different. Mattie's world began in chilly Scotland; he now lives and loves in beautiful San Francisco, California. Techno is a natural extension of his creative life as he has spent many years in close proximity to the grit of Detroit. Heavily influenced by the grimy, sultry sounds of Detroit, Berlin and Chicago, he has taken that influence to the Bay Area and draws on The City and its colorful nightlife for inspiration.
Mossmoss has a number of releases and remixes on RacecarProductions.com. Mattie's passion for art is delivered in visual form under the 'Nazomoss' moniker and he continues to develop his unique illustration and painting style. He has recently joined forces with Alland Byallo, Dead Seal and Clint Stewart to bring you a monthly Nightlight Music showcase at the infamous 222 Hyde, every 2nd Friday in San Francisco. As a resident of AYLI parties in San Francisco, Mossmoss will be supporting global and local names in underground house and techno.
