OSTRICH
A part of a younger generation of artists; Nadir Agha aka Ostrich found passion for art,
especially in music and films. It wasn’t until 2003 when Montreal-based artist Ostrich
explored the depths of his talents as a DJ, producer, and an aspiring filmmaker. His
sound carries various funk-flavored elements of techno that is bound by deep house,
categorizing itself as deep tech-house. His narrative approach to DJ sets under the
Ostrich moniker, allows his art to speak through music.
His first release generated a lot of interest and was released on Bosphorus Underground.
Dabbling on remixing duties throughout the past year, Ostrich produced cuts for
Argentinean label, Miniatura Records, Mexico’s Dialtone Records, in addition to Toronto-
based labels such as Madexx Recordings & Open Concept Recordings. Summer of 2009
marked a giant leap when Ostrich and longtime friend / studio partner Maher Daniel
signed “Haute Couture” to Tiefschwarz’s digital imprint, Souvenir Plus. This release
garnered lots of praise and was played by the likes of Richie Hawtin and Seth Troxler,
including being featured on John Digweed’s Transitions radio show as well as selected for
Andre Galluzzi’s mix CD compilation, “The Sound of Berlin 2010”.
In the summer of 2008, Montreal gave birth to a series of events called 13 PERCENT.
Thriving to showcase select events in which the creation of electronic music and digital
art becomes accessible to a broader public. Founder and resident DJ, Ostrich has hosted
numerous events and invited international guests such as Jimpster, Cassy, Mathias Kaden,
Daniel Bell, and Joel Mull to name just a handful.
HEAR
Sary Sehnaoui aka HEAR has first embarked in his artistic career as a film director and won
international recognition for his work. Since 2003, he incorporated music in his craft and
started mixing his captivating sounds in the underground scene. Having enjoyed a
residency at Basement -Beirut, he returns to Montreal where he co-founded the collective
MADE in MONTREAL. Increasingly known for his marathon sets, his music is deep and
intuitive and always seeks the element of surprise while staying groovy. |
