BOUSADA
Based out of Victoria, BOUSADA's shows have quickly become the talk of legend. The brainchild of vocalist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Graeme Bousada, it is his live performances that you will need to see to believe. His energy on stage is infectious and his ability to channel the energy of a room is nothing short of incredible. A local legend, the rest of the country is quickly catching on, being featured at Shambhala Music Festival earlier this summer.
A live looping artist, BOUSADA uses found sounds, succulent tones and deep bass to produce mesmerizing performances that will have you transfixed from start to finish. Featuring Mikey Viperteeth on the saxophone and vocals, their partnership creates a meld of hip-hop, jazz and electronic music that is wholly unique to them.
Buckle up and get ready for lift-off!

I M U R
I M U R (I am you are), is an East Vancouver live electronic act with a hybrid sound influenced by 90s hip-hop/r&b, electronic, experimental, and soul. The band consists of producer Mikey J Blige on live beat composition and electric guitar, singer-songwriter Jenny Lea on keys and vocals, and multi-instrumentalist Amine Bouzaher on electric violin and bass. Live-looped instrumentals and vocal melodies are heavily featured in I M U R's live show as well.
Their debut EP Slow Dive (Aug. 2015), garnered much acclaim from the Vancouver underground scene, and recently landed them #5 in Billboards Global Viral Top 50 charts. Hip Hop Canada sang them praise for being at the front of the pack of a growing community of independent artists producing quality projects and curating quality live performances. March 2017 saw the debut of their full-length album, Little Death, with a sold-out release party at Celebrities Nightclub in Vancouver. As stated by the band, "Little Death alludes to the brief loss of consciousness or or spiritual release during a post-orgasmic state." The album, premiered with Noisey, has been gaining notoriety on tastemaker blogs with reviews such as "immediately reminiscent of early Little Dragon, you'll want to listen to these dreamy beats twice x 100" from IDOBI
Since their conception in 2015, I M U R has played Shambhala Music Festival, World Ski & Snowboard Festival, Astral Harvest, Center of Gravity, and Rifflandia, and have played with internationally known artists such as Lido, Tennyson, Vallis Alps, and Pat Lok. Their first single off of Little Death, FFL, recently secured sync placements with outerwear giants, Patagonia. In addition to receiving praise in Noisey, Exclaim!, Hiphop Canada, Beatroute Magazine, and international blogs in Europe, I M U R was listed as one of Vancouvers Top Acts to watch out for in 2016 by Winniecooper.net. I M U R was recently nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for Electronic Artist of the Year.
Effortlessly harnessing the emotive interplay between instrumentation and vocals, I M U R displays an intuitive understanding of how tone and texture can evince a myriad of thoughts and feelings, leaving their audience infatuated and coming back for more.
