| PRO TESTING (3AM edit) Bucko Art Machine - Mood Ring, Vol. 2
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio (From Apt613): Before the pandemic, Bucko (Chris Binkowski) was a busker. He would perform in public spaces or at events, creating audio-visual performances powered by his wheelchair. He also does large-scale geometric paintings, abstract yet deeply symbolic digital art, and has been active on a new project with other artists, under the name Bucko Art Machine. His latest work is a track on the Mood Ring Vol. 2 compilation, which was released on November 27 by Debaser. Bucko has been active not just as an artist, but as a strong voice for accessibility and public health in Ottawa. Since 2015 he’s been involved with Stop Gap Ottawa, and spends his summers volunteering on the Accessibility Team at Ottawa Bluesfest and CityFolk. In the early days of the pandemic, Bucko became vocal about the risks of the pandemic for those who are vulnerable and was active in raising awareness on the importance of following public health guidelines. As someone who lives with less than 10 per cent lung function, he’s well aware of the risks of COVID-19. Although he’s moved away from acrylic painting in favour of digital media, poetry has crept into Bucko’s work through the titles of his works, along with collaborations like Bucko Art Machine, where he works with other artists. For Bucko, connection is the driving force behind creating art.

| Love (bedroom version) Orchidae - Mood Ring, Vol. 2
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: Yolande Laroche (of Pony Girl and mal/aimé) reflects on identity, life and death in her debut solo project. Soft, hypnotic melodies and mantras intertwine with minimal yet meaningful, at-times psychedelic orchestration.

| New Suit The Commotions - s/t
|
| Trooper Strut The Commotions - s/t
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: Take a blazing horn section, throw down some bombastic drums, pepper in piano and guitar, then stir in vocals shifting from sweet to soulful to sultry quicker than you can hop onto the dance floor. And you will hop onto the dance floor because that’s a recipe for groove making. It’s ingredients for crowd shaking. It sizzles. It pops. It jumps. It jives. It’s The Commotions and the taste is soulicious! They’ve brought the funky groove to festivals, television and two smokin’ studio albums, ready to drop a blazing hot third release in 2021. If The Commotions are spinning on your sound system or hitting a stage near you, that bygone beat is moving to the forefront of your feet and a party is about to erupt. You can bank on it!

|
| I Wonder Céleste Lévis - Noël tout autour
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: Céleste Lévis a grandi à Timmins en Ontario. La musique fait son arrivée plus tard dans sa vie, suite à de graves problèmes de santé qui obligent la jeune fille à arrêter toute activité sportive. Dans les moments les plus sombres, la musique lui offre une deuxième vie. Céleste a sorti son premier album «CÉLESTE», en 2015. Depuis, elle poursuit son ascension en accumulant les spectacles avec sa tournée à travers le Canada. Autres jalons marquants pour l’auteure-compositrice-interprète: assurer la première partie des spectacles de Francis Cabrel au Québec en 2016, une nomination au Gala de l’ADISQ pour album adulte-contemporain de l’année, sans compter 5 autres nominations au Gala Trille Or 2017 et une nomination pour l’album de l’année par une artiste francophone au NOMFA. En septembre dernier, Céleste a participé aux ateliers d’écriture à Astaffort, FR, animé par nul autre que Francis Cabrel.

| Pay Me Sweet Roger - s/t
|
| NEW MONTREAL MUSIC!
Bio: It’s been years now that Sweet Roger gave up a teaching position at a local college and took up a job shucking oysters in Old Montreal and playing gigs wherever they could be found around town. The work, the struggle, and the dark hours gave ample inspiration for songs that truly tell stories of love and loss. Picking up some momentum after releasing his debut and building an audience, Sweet Roger now returns with new material that has even more provocation and edge, an audible swagger that is both scrappy and sympathetic.

|
| Page Turner Canabyss Corpse - s/t
|
| NEW LOCAL MUSIC!
Bio: A two headed monster, born in the dusty heat of a summer mosh pit and left to grow in the basements and hot boxed garages of Canadiana. Together they formed a symbiotic entity, hellbent on bringing lyricism and originality back to the forefront of music. Their mission: art for art’s sake, to distill their creative energies and influences down to a pure raw and unrelenting hip hop experience. Drawing from a vast and diverse melting pot of artistic and musical influences they defy genre stereotypes and tropes, making music that dares the listeners to not only think outside the box, but to do away with the box altogether. If you think Hip hop is dead, these guys just might be it’s reanimated corpse. And they certainly aren’t resting in peace. More Canabyss here: https://www.facebook.com/CanabyssCorpse |
