OFF Dômesicle — upsammy • anabasine

As an interdisciplinary artist, upsammy takes cues from trippy electronics, the more experimental side of DnB and oddball techno, but tries to avoid clear genres. As a DJ she consolidated a firm position in the contemporary left-field music world, which includes a residency at NTS Radio and Amsterdam club Garage Noord and invitations to festivals such as Unsound and Rewire.

anabasine’s psychedelic dancefloor sensibility fuses hypnotic polyrhythms and propulsive bass grooves pulled from a widely dug library of rave musics past and present. A passionate participant in Montreals’ underground for over a decade, he was first contaminated with the techno virus in 2011 at thriving DIY lofts like la Brique, Tarot, and the Furnace, but developed a certain terminal infection after cutting his teeth DJing acid raves in a WWII bunker at the Psycho Thrill Cologne parties in Germany. He hosts radio shows on n10.as, and CKUT, and works as a sound engineer and producer. He finds his keenest listening ears when when kicking it on the dancefloor, and will see u in the wormhole.
