Vancouver City Guide with JGarrett
In an effort to highlight local music scenes throughout the world, we find it important to also underscore other offerings these cities have for electronic music fans who may be thinking of traveling for a show, festival or just to be tourist for a weekend.
And who better to ask about a city than local artists who can shed a light on the must-see and must-go-to spots in the area?
We begin in Canada, and Vancouver to be precise. For this City Guide we have invited techno producer and DJ JGarrett to share five of his favorite local spots. A native of Ann Arbor, Michigan Josh came to techno and house within the shadow of Detroit and with direct involvement in the Detroit techno and rave communities of the ā90s. In 2000, Josh relocated to Vancouver and over the years has become an integral member of the Vancouver Techno scene, from running the well-respected label Subspec Music as well as a key member of the Proper Event Productions crew.
JGarrett has appeared in lineups with Ben Klock, Regis, Slam, Drumcell, Truncate, Kyle Geiger, Annie Hall, Perc, and many other luminaries of the techno world. He has releases and track appearances with a variety of labels including Perc Trax, Gobsmacked, Dirty Minds, Decoy, Advanced (Black), SubSensory, Urban Kickz, and his own Subspec Music.
HisĀ Proximity EP is out October 1st on Gobsmacked. Make sure you follow him on FacebookĀ hereĀ and on SoundcloudĀ here for release and tour updates.
