Kristian North - Halfway to Heaven 

Kristian North, former frontman for Babysitter, enters the scene with a new sound as a solo artist. The Montreal native ditches his grunge rock image for a new genre-bending sound, focusing on his lyricism to tell stories filled with confessions, desires, and mythical references. 

Halfway to Heaven is featured on his newest album Passion Play, a collection of love songs with deep-rooted themes of deception and failure under the surface. The single was written in Portugal and comes with inspiration from the warmth and romance of the country.

Toronto Producer Loukeman Talks 'Sd-3' and DJing the Biggest Stages of His Career: Interview

With a cult following album series, collaborations with PinkPantheress and A$AP Rocky and a co-sign from global star Fred again.. the genre-blurring DJ-producer is growing in scale while chasing a feeling. Tonight (June 26) he plays Montreal's Piknic Électronik festival alongside Four Tet.

Loukeman's music is living on a feeling.

Back in April, the Toronto DJ/producer released his third album Sd-3, capping off a trilogy of albums that began in 2021 with his beat tape Sd-1 and has since earned him a cult fanbase. He has long operated in a unique lane bridging indie, alternative and dance textures into a unique sonic landscape full of pitched vocals, raw ambience and glitchy textures, a DIY approach that dates back to his beginnings making mash-ups on VirtualDJ as a kid.
