 WOLF + LAMB

From Zev’s savvy design and production, to Gadi’s talent for sniffing out path breaking artists to bring into the fold, there’s a knack they have for making it all hold together + they completely owned it and Piknic Electronik last season.

Women take over of Igloofest

Alicia Hush

With her roots in Toronto, and her new home in Montreal Alicia,Co-founder of Hushlamb Productions, contributes to the vitality of her hometown by signing a steady stream of emerging local artists to her growing talent roster. We like the sound of that and we think you’ll like the sound of what’s above.

Miss Kitten

Requires no description. In short she i sa French electronic music DJ, singer, and songwriter. Since rising to prominence in 1998 for her singles “1982” and “Frank Sinatra” with The Hacker she has released dark and promiscuous tracks like these below.

NYMRA & SOFISTICATED (Virgin Igloo Stage)

Having been friends since the age of 14, these two present a smooth blend of track which they have exhibited at countless performances. they have played at Stereo, Stereobar, Club UN, Belmont, Passeport, Circus Afterhours, Piknic Electronik. Having just returned from playing at the BPM festival in Mexico, it’s no question that the beach and tan will only add deeper and groovier sounds that will leave the crowd inside the igloo warmer than than everyone else.

JAN 25th – Friday

NINA Kravitz

The beautiful stunner, lays down the heat. The Russian minimal house and techno, Tsarina, has always been a Montreal favorite.  Aside from here track Ghetto Kraviz on endless rotation in the passed 2 years look forward to some of her newer “less ghetto” releases.

&

PAN POT

Did someone ask for a side of Berlin Techno?

Mobilee’s Pan-Pot is an entirely different proposition, a duo whose mastery of audio principles allows them to turn conventions on their heads, casting functionality aside as they plumb the deep, uncharted depths of pitch-black techno.

TNGHT

Montreal’s Lunice and Hudson Mohawke are one of the biggest artists in the world today and one of the pioneers of ghetto house and trap music. Their hit track higher ground (above) rocks every club to the core.
Below is a sneak peak from their new track featuring Kanye West.

Kaytranada

local artist creating the last buzz along the land and certainly roaring around the internet realm will surley be the next artist to watch out for. Kaytranada as also been on the bill with EverybodyKnows at the Bondax show last month. Keep your ear out for old school 90s hip hop with a twist of bass. He’ll be rocking some sick Pajar gear that night that’s suppose to bring more heat to their music.

French Electronic pioneer destined to take you on a cool(but not that cold) atmospheric trip.

MOODY JONES (Virgin Igloo Stage)

The opposite of Techno and the end of the festival from inside the Virgin Igloo. After his performance at the DirtyBird BBQ at Piknic Electronik this year – it became clear that Moody Jones is more than just a man composed of raw, dirty and deep house with a sexy touch of golden age Hip hop but a crowd of entourages that know their music and know how to melt the igloo down.

More Knows to come – Please let us know if you think someone else should be on the list by leaving a comment down below.
