RE:UNION

RE:UNION is an intimate musical event series, founded in Montreal in 2016 by Adam Solomon a.k.a. Weekend Logic, Daura and Moaad BKR. The musical philosophy of RE:UNION is to place a strong focus on the exact moment in space in which the energy is transferred to the receiver, and to ruthlessly dismiss all other pressures. In doing so, they are fostering a grassroots and diverse approach to endless inspiration and community bonding. Highly dedicated (but not exclusive) to electronic dance music, vinyl mixing as well as an archaeological yet futuristic approach to musical research, the selection at a RE:UNION gathering may consist of anything from newly released vinyl cuts to obscure vintage wax, forgotten anthems, ravey bootlegs, discoveries from old internet archives, but also modern digital only productions. Some of these digital findings are often cut to dubplates for DJ use only, completing the final and most crucial step of this multi-layered curation process.

The Beat Escape are an electronic new wave studio project from Montreal. The Beat Escape walk into the studio and immediately begin to work. They turn on a drum machine and compose a beat – it’s familiar, yet entirely original. A chord progression fills the room, one that’s been on their minds for nearly six months. It happens to sit nicely on the beat, and for this, they are thankful. Walking through old memories, dreams, and altered states of perception, a melody is caught and harmonies are sung. By them. All around the world, the day continues. The song evolves. The dream is alive. For everyone.

Leëf has built a reputation for layering all sorts of unconventional and uncompromising beats in the most elegant way. Electro, bass, psychedelic dubs, and the sinuous paths of the improvised – all find their way woven into her lustrous DJ sets.
