CAPTAIN DEEBS & THE BOAT RIDERZ
"A four-piece band out of Vancouver, BC, mixing blues, rock, and reggae covers and remixes into a sound that’s all our own! With three vocalists, the songs move in unexpected ways—sometimes raw & heavy, sometimes smooth & spacious, always full of energy.
We play with feel, and that’s what makes it click. The blues gives us the emotion, classic rock gives us the pace, and reggae lays down the deep grooves and space to breathe. Put it all together and you get tight rhythms, rich bass lines and face melting jams that live in the moment."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
MO RIDA
Mo’ Rida is an explosive six-piece powerhouse that fuses raw rock 'n' roll fury with punk snarl, ska swagger, and trombone-spiked mayhem. A Molotov cocktail of musical grooves, they rock out with bombastic romps that hit like a freight train. Coalescing in 2024 from veterans of the Vancouver music scene, Mo' Rida has stormed stages across BC and Alberta, captivating crowds with unrelenting high-octane sets- all killer, no filler, 100% bangers guaranteed. Follow the frenzy at @_mo.rida_ on Instagram.
------------------------------------------------------------------
DARK ARPS (Live Electronic Artist)
“Dark Arps brings a dynamic fusion of deep, progressive energy and contrasting vibes that balance tension and optimism. His sound seamlessly blends broken beats with techno, delivering dark, razor-sharp melodies, hypnotic progressive hooks, and driving basslines. Futuristic, emotional, and irresistibly danceable, Dark Arps’ music captures listeners both on and off the dance floor.
Renowned for his electrifying live performances, Dark Arps pushes creative boundaries through live-patching, modular synthesis, and real-time experimentation, transforming each set into an unforgettable journey. Whether in the studio or on stage, his improvisational approach stays true to his signature style while exploring uncharted sonic territory.
Dark Arps has shared the stage with industry heavyweights such as Rrose, Stelios Vassiloudis, Ramon Tapia, Darren Emerson, Dave Seaman, John ‘00’ Fleming, Jay Tripwire, Matthew Dear, Karsten Sollors, Tyler Stadius, and Max Ulis.
In addition to his solo work, Dark Arps produces as part of the trio DASK alongside Savaggio and Kostiya. His recent releases include EPs, remixes, and singles on respected labels such as Traum Schallplatten, RF, Three Records, Submarine Vibes, Suprematic Sounds, and Random Collective.”
