Michael Red is a Vancouver-based producer, performer, DJ and promoter. The founding member of Vancouver collective Lighta! Sound, acting captain of the Low Indigo entity, he also performs ambient-leaning music under the alias Souns and is a curator for the New Forms Festival.

Together with Lighta! Sound, having played and/or helped to organize the majority of Vancouver's major dubstep events 2005-2009, Red has played a pivotal role in shaping the city's internationally recognized dubstep and bass scene, including the Red Gate, Secret Location, and Dubforms parties. Currently, Michael is cultivating a newer sound/movement under the Low Indigo banner through ongoing events, a casual blog, DJ mixes and music releases.

As a performer, Red combines “sound art” with DJ art, improvising live and blending atmospheric touches with dancefloor sensibilities, all immersed in the careful spirit of dub. His DJ sets traverse the entire universe of “bass” and beyond, always mining the future for the most original and intriguing sounds he can find. He’s also known as a dancehall DJ, performs and tours with Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq, is one half of the experimental dub duo Chambers, and has done installation work with his own recordings.

Digital visionary art display by.....

~MUGWORT~
Vancouver, B.C
http://mugwortdesigns.tumblr.com/

Mugwort (Isaac Mills) is an emerging digital artist and designer embarking on unique explorations into the realms of visionary art. Using artistic expression as a vehicle for spiritual exploration, he holds the intention that it can facilitate awareness of the sacred, in which the beholders experience glimpses of their own divine nature and are awakened to their interconnection with all things. The name 'Mugwort' derives from the plant Mugwort Artemisia, a herb used since ancient times to enhance lucid dreaming and astral projection. In exploring a multitude of artistic approaches and mediums from digital painting, illustration, large-scale installations and live audio-visual performance, he increasingly taps into the dynamic potential of digital media. Much of his gallery work is thematically centered on transformation, archetypal forces, shifting paradigms, animal guides, and shamanic symbolism. Hailing from the east coast of Canada, Mugwort migrated to the forested shores of the west coast where he currently resides. His art has been displayed at galleries and festivals all across Canada, the US, Europe and Australia.
