JACK DYLAN
Co-founder of performance venues “The Electric Tractor” and “Friendship Cove,” illustrator Jack Dylan first achieved notoriety through the consistent individuality and distinctive style of the show posters he created to promote events.
Dylan regularly contributes illustrative work to publications such as the Montreal Mirror, The Globe and Mail, and Toronto Life, and continues to create posters for local events, such as the Pop Montreal festival and Piss in the Pool.
Dylan currently resides in Toronto, where he is completing his undergraduate degree at the Ontario College of Art and Design.

NEON NIGHTS
presents….
AL-P (MSTRKRFT)
www.myspace.com/mstrkrft
www.mstrkrft.com
Their first single was “Easy Love”, released in 2006. They released their second single, “Work On You”, on July 6. In contrast to the “Easy Love” music video, “Work On You” featured animated robots similar to those found in classic cartoons (see: Voltron, Transformers ). Although The Looks is MSTRKRFT’s first album featuring original content, the band has created remixes from a variety of other artists ranging from Buck 65 to The Kills to Death from Above 1979.
MSTRKRFT released their first LP, The Looks, on July 18, 2006 in the United States and February 2, 2007 in Britain. Keeler and Al-P told Eye Weekly weeks before the release of The Looks, that as the album was being finished, the planning stages for a follow-up record had already begun. Describing the upcoming album’s new direction, Al-P said that the album would be “darker, underground disco and house with elements of American rock music.”
The “2007″ version of their song “Street Justice” was also released as a single. On the band’s website message board, Keeler mentioned they were also working on a compilation album composed of their remixed tracks. Street Justice was also featured on the THQ action game, Saints Row 2. Neon Knights was also featured on Need For Speed: Pro Street, and their remix for Justices’ D.A.N.C.E. was featured on the movie “Meet The Spartans”.
Their song “Paris” was featured in a 2006 commercial for the online music store URGE. In 2007 MSTRKRFT appeared at the WEMF World Electronic Music Festival.
In September 2007 MSTRKRFT performed at an Australian spring music festival “Parklife” in Brisbane. They performed their remix of the song “Woman” from Modular label mates Wolfmother. Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother appeared on stage and sang live while MSTRKRFT performed the remix.
In 2008 through Obeygiant.com released a mix cd with Z-Trip. In conjunction with this CD, Obey offered the Art work print, entitled Soundclash of the Titans. On May 24, 2008 MSTRKRFT were featured on the famous BBC Radio 1 show, The Essential Mix. MSTRKRFT later performed at the 2008 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, which included a diverse group of artists ranging from Metallica to Jack Johnson.
In 2009, their remix of “Woman” by Wolfmother was featured in the film Lesbian Vampire Killers. On March 17, 2009, MSTRKRFT released their second LP, Fist of God. All songs were written by Jesse F. Keeler and Al-P. Initial critical response has been average at best, with major periodicals Spin, Rolling Stone, and Blender giving the album less-than-stellar reviews. The album features guest appearances by John Legend, E-40, N.O.R.E., and Lil’ Mo, among others.

http://www.myspace.com/iamskla
Vancouver’s favorite DJ helps rock the boat for his first YACHT appearance. In 2006, DJ Skilla received his first nomination as Vancouver Nightlife Award’s TOP 5 Electronica DJs and has been nominated every year since. He is the first DJ to win the title consecutively in 2008 and 2009. He’s worked together with CanThrill to produce Vancouver’s premier Friday night party, ‘Lobby’ at Ginger 62 where he’s been a resident amongst Vancouver’s top Electronic DJs. He’s a force to be reckoned with on the decks!

How do you define the kind of music that’s like “your ears are having sex with your brain”? Electro-booty bass-disco-rave-rap? It’s genre-breaking fun and you won’t know until you’re in it.
★ Sam Demoe ★
http://www.samdemoe.com/
http://www.facebook.com/SamDemoe
The sound of Sam Demoe is infused with the grit of the big city tempered with the laidback lifestyle of the West coast. What results is a sound that satisfies wallflowers, audiophiles, and weekend warriors alike. From euphoric pop to booming 808 bass music, Sam Demoe can trek over any sonic terrain. If there is a song perfectly fit for party consumption, chances are Sam has it already cued up.

BIZ BIO: Biz Markie’s inclination toward juvenile humor and his fondness for goofy, tuneless, half-sung choruses camouflaged his true talents as a freestyle rhymer. The Biz may not have been able to translate his wild rhyming talents to tape, but what he did record was worthwhile in its own way. With his silly humor and inventive, sample-laden productions, he proved that hip-hop could be funny and melodic, without sacrificing its street credibility. His distinctive style made his second album, The Biz Never Sleeps, a gold hit and its single, “Just a Friend,” into a Top Ten pop single.

We are taking donations online at http://underpressure.ca
WHAT DO YOUR DONATIONS GO TO, YOU ASK?
The amount of money it takes to hold an event such as Under Pressure is up toward $20,000.00 each time. And because this is a free event, we seek funding every year for; Property Rent, Supplies, Equipment Rental, License’s and Insurance, Print Marketing/Advertising, and all the other expense’s that go into planning an event that draws over 3000 people in two days.
———————————————–
BIO:
My name is Under Pressure (UP), I am both an event and a magazine based out of graffiti. I came into being because the city of Montreal was constantly bad mouthing graffiti in the media. Then, fed up of all the bullshit the city was squacking, a couple of graffiti writers decided to hold an event to show the public that graffiti is not a gang thing, nor does it go hand-in-hand with violent crimes. One time, on the 6 o’clock news, a police officer lumped graffiti and rape in the same category. The first event was held in 1996 and we have steadily grown bigger, better and stronger since. Under Pressure is now also a magazine, focusing on graffiti, music, skate and whatever else comes across the editors minds. Now our enterprise has branched out to music, with the release of the ‘Up North Trip’ CD compilations, thus far 4 english and 1 french have been released.
MISSION:
Although primarily, Under Pressure was created to promote international awareness of the talent behind Graffiti Writers. UP is also focusing on more Canadian talent, urban culture and art history, as well as music and dance and other varieties of culture.
ANNUAL EVENT:
Over the past 15 years, Under Pressure has been able to host the annual event “Under Pressure International Graffiti Convention” which in turn has allowed artists from all over the world to come into Montreal and display, perform, or even converse with other professionals, in similar elements of their culture, all at one event.
PRODUCTION:
UP has printed 16 bi-annual issues of Under Pressure Magazine, and has produced 5 promotional CD’s one including a DVD of Under Pressure International Convention’s 10th anniversary.
