At 24 years old, Brad Copeland is a rising star of the Canadian dance music scene. Already known across the country for his impeccable mixing, his tough and pumping sound, and his energy as a performer, Brad has shown his potential with a blend of talent, dedication, and commitment.
From humble beginnings playing to small crowds at Ottawa's Icon nightclub, Brad has grown through a hugely successful residency at the legendary Atomic to host his own night at The Well - a night which was consistently packed during its year-long run. Summer 2002 saw Brad playing Montreal's world-famous afterhours club Stereo. Brad was so well received he was invited back several times and then asked to take up a residency at the club's new progressive house friday night, "Stereolab" In late 2002 Brad decided to focus solely on Djing and Producing, and he gave up promoting the weekly clubnight and took up a monthly residency in Ottawa at Surface, Ottawa's current premiere afterhours club. Crowds at Surface are always receptive to Brad's unique sound - a diverse fusion of progressive and techno with traces of house- and this sound has caught on with audiences across Canada. Brad has played guest spots in clubs all over the country, from Halifax all the way out to Victoria.
Brad's talent has been recognized not just by the dancefloors he's packed, but by internationally renowned members of the dance music community hes djed alongside. Brad has been chosen to dj alongside such luminaries as Sander Kleinenberg, Satoshi Tomiie, John Graham and Chris Fortier and was asked personally to join both Max Graham and Sandra Collins as the support act on their recent Canadian tours. Brad was also recently invited to join the prestigious Balance Record Pool, thus cementing his place as one of North America's premiere progressive house djs.
Early 2003 saw a big change for Brad as he packed up his studio and moved to Montreal. Playing weekly on Stereo's famed world-class sound system and being exposed to the many incredibly talented artists that come through the club every week has had a hugely inspiring and positive influence on Brad, both on his Djing and on his fledgling production career.
Taken by a musical passion that goes beyond mixing, Brad has shown promise in the production arena with several originals and a few bootleg remixes, all of which have been charted and played by national and international level DJs. He is working in the studio constantly to hone his skills, and is learning more with each passing month.
With a fresh new city, a fresh new residency and lots of fresh new ideas in the studio, 2003 promises to be a big year for Brad Copeland...a year when he will make his mark on North American dance culture.
