Stephen Beaupré's Bio
More than 10 years of active participation on the Montreal scene
has converted Stephen Beaupré into an uncontestable dj/ artist in
the world of Canadian music. Attracting attention with his Crackhaus
project, for which he collaborates with his friend and fellow artist
Deadbeat, Steve has managed to gain recognition as a solo artist with
his EP Dirty Lipreading on the upstart Montreal label Musique Risquée,
launched by Akufen and Vincent Lemieux. 2006 brings the release of his
first solo album, the masterful Foe Destroyer, released on both
Musique Risquée and MUTEK_REC .
His particular approach to music manifests itself in decomposed and
syncopated rhythms, which he develops with an incredible spontaneity.
Animated ambiances based upon abstract and organic textures abound in
his productions, where an equal measure of house and techno interplay
with elements of funk, guided by a strong artistic sensitivity.
Diverse vocals and instrumentation, reworked with humor, intermingle
with intense beats, delivering both a relaxed and agitated tone to his
pieces.
Cutting his teeth as an adolescent promoter for electronic music
events in Ottawa, Stephen became quickly seduced by the more
substantial rhythms and textures of house and techno that was striving
to be deeper, funkier and more engaging. He began djing at 18, always
with a mind for the dancefloor, always trying to stay close to the
crowd. With a love for gritty punchy music, at once technological and
organic, Stephen skillfully mixes dancefloor rocking tracks always
trying to create an atmosphere of humour, excitement and malaise.
Over the past few years Stephen has toured in four continents both
solo and with Crackhaus performing in such cities as Tokyo, Berlin,
Beijing, Detroit, Valparaiso, Mexico City, Paris and New York to name
a few. He has played along side such luminaries as Matthew Herbert,
Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Pole, Isolée, Dimbiman and many
other like minded artists. |
