Archipel Musique Canada

After being in Canada for year, our friend Mok-T moved to Europe for new adventures. He left us a funky and deep set as a gift.

Our buddy Kike Mayor, from Peru now in USA, dropped a super special set of colorful cuts, straight from a DJ set. Perfect to start the week, it can fit any moment of the day as it breezes its way into smooth or little intense, depending of your mood.

It's with great honor that we managed to get Vlad Caia, renowned Romanian artist, to join our series of sets. What he prepared for us is special as he had Carte Blanche to propose something edgy and not straightforward. This exploration is what we were hoping for, and we were delighted with the results.

Our friend from Montreal, originally from Quebec city, is a DJ producer with a deep curiosity for digging rare tracks. Happy to support friends, he loves to pick obscure music and strange tunes for his mixes, which makes them original and mind-warping.

From Los Angeles, Jessie drops us a superb DJ set for her first collaboration with the label. We have been following her previous podcasts and with a tight selection and eclectic groove collage that are fitting urban scapes as well as waterfront, beach vibes.

Originally from France, Cosmide is now settled in Montreal and is a world traveler. Lucky enough to be a sound designer by day, he uses all his inspiration to make us dance and mentally travel.

Montreal based Moox is a producer and DJ that is passionate and devoted to music making. His influences are wide but always about deeper tones that requires introspection. His love for making people move pushes him to strive towards minimalism, yet dynamic. Photo by Martin Martz on Unsplash

Our buddy Youg, originally from France but now based in Montreal, drops a live set with his latest explorations. With a background in electroacoustics, strong interest in field recordings, Youg combines it all in an original trip.

Ally of the label, somebody3lse has incredible versatility in their sets, which can go from 80's rare gems to Drum and bass. For this set, the direction was more of a linear journey of beats and warm grooves.

Hungarian, Vienna based artist Vaelth has contributed to the label's catalog with groovy, textured released before. Having him as a guest artist for this series gave us a chance to hear him in action, bringing elegance and wit to a dancefloor mood.

Our friend and local artist Hooll has been around for a while, managing to keep the minimal scene alike as a promoter and dropping sets for multiple genres. He shares a set of various colors, inspired by his trips and friends.

Local DJ Daoust is a label friend who has been supporting Archipel for a long while. One of the few remaining who plays deep minimal techno in Montreal, he shares an exclusive, extended set.

Dietmar brings his unique music that is an enigmatic exploration of rhythmical textures, spaced out percussion and mind warping bleeps.

Marino's contribution to the label featured 2 ambient album, fully textured and rich in emotions. He prepared us a live set that is immersive and meditative.

Tyler is a Montreal based artist, friend of the label and proposed a gorgeous set filled with smooth transition. It is both meditative and uplifting, with elegance and bright colors.

New to the label, Léo drops a DJ set exposing all colors of his influences.

Long time label artist Claire drops a live set for our showcase. Equipped mostly with hardware gear, her set is slightly playful, totally hypnotic and shows her creative, flowing side.

Jos Lok has been contributing to the label for years but also been a close ally of Pheek on numerous projects. It was clear that we were expecting a sophisticated DJ set from him as well as good vibes.

Montreal based Luminescu is a talented artist and close friend of the label. His work is always pulling out incredible grooves and textures. This DJ set is a trip on all the influences behind the artist.

Archipel was invited to do a showcase on the virtual club app named CLVBS. For a week, we curated a selection of artists ranging from friends, label artists and collaborators.

It's been 20 years since Archipel first released music and we are celebrating this with a special night at Daomé, Montréal with 3 Djs putting festive tunes for the moment. Photo by Annie Spratt
