NOAH PRED
thoughtless music
Toronto
Producing and performing live for over ten years, Noah Pred emerged from Vancouver's underground as a sought-after techno DJ with a sophisticated sound and unique style. Devoted to authentic and soulful strains of techno in all its permutations, Noah's sound continues to evolve while remaining firmly driven by the dance floor.
Since his first records were released, his productions have received international support, garnering critical acclaim while moving bodies across the globe. As a DJ and live act, he's toured throughout Europe and North America, performing alongside such diverse artists as Josh Wink, Mathew Jonson, and James Holden. After a three-year stint in Montreal working for Consigned Recordings while holding a residency at Stereobar, Noah relocated to the West Coast to produce his field recording based techno full-length, 'Ecocosm', which was initially released on New Kanada.
Exploring his compositional versatility, Pred launched the Shen project in 2004. Geared towards digital downtempo, electronic dub and emotive IDM, Shen provided a creative outlet for productions that roam beyond the borders of clubland. Noah's debut Shen full-length, 'Outlines', was released on Native State Records in late 2006. With Shen currently on indefinite hiatus, Noah recently launched Solvoid - a new project geared towards his unique take on future bass music.
Based in Toronto since 2007, Pred has developed a loyal and devoted following for his potent DJ sets while running the digital imprint Thoughtless Music from his studio headquarters. Following his recent full-length on Thoughtless and performances at the MUTEK and Decibel festivals, Noah's poised for exciting things in the year ahead - with his debut mix-CD for Thoughtless, ERA ONE, and his new EP for Cynosure, Lesser Lights, both due out Spring 2011.
NILS
Beats Without Borders
Telepaphone
Vancouver
Nils began actively DJ'ing in the early 90's and has been consistently gigging ever since.
In that time he has earned a reputation as an inspiring DJ who has a knack for reading the energy of a room and giving the Dance Floor just what it needs.
He has played at many Festivals including Diversity, BIG TIME OUT, Entheos, Komasket, In Shala, Earth Dance, The Vancouver Folk Music Festival, and Shambhala for 6 years running.
He has played headlining sets in Vancouver and throughout B.C. and has opened for the likes of Cheb i Sabbah, Nickodemus, Adham Shaikh, Gaudi, Beats Antique, Ott, Talvin Singh, David Starfire, Bluetech, Heyokah, Femi Kuti, Delhi 2 Dublin, and Oka.
This diverse list should give you a sense of the range of styles Nils can represent. If there is a constant to his sets though, it is that all of them have at least some Global Beats represented.
He is the visionary behind the "Faeries and Fools Costume Carnival" and is a founding member of the Beats Without Borders Collective.
By day he works at Highlife Records on Commercial Drive in East Vancouver where he takes delight in helping people get to know the world of music.

With his broad range of influences and keen mixing skills, Rowan deftly navigates through meditative & inspiring downtempo/Hip Hop, glitchy acid breaks, and high energy ethnic techno. Rowan's talent and love for music will continue to bring him in front of amazing, inspired and intentional dancefloors again and again.
