Quebec DJ CRi Trades the Solo Spotlight for a Community of Friends : 'I'm Done Touring Alone'

The renowned house producer tells Billboard Canada about his brand new collaborative EP 'AMi Vol. 1' featuring Bob Moses, Jesse Mac Cormack, Harry Hayes and more.

When CRi isn't playing headline shows and major music festivals around the globe, he's at home in the rural Quebec municipality of Saint-Adolphe-d'Howard taking care of his family and disconnecting from life on the road.
