Our ethos is born in the revolutionary fires of the UK rave moment of 1989, a time when electronic music was outlawed, where the only hope you had was found in the bleeps and the bass of techno. Electronic music set a generation on fire with many equating it to the hippy fervor of the 60s, so much so that it became known as the “Second Summer of Love”.

OUR STORY

From there our founder Anthony Traynor was drawn to the electronic music zeitgeist across the globe and contributed to multiple genres and scenes such as Burning Man, California Glitch Hop, UK dubstep and the European Techno Scene. His various monikers include BreakBeatBuddha, PropaTingz, The Arahant and TOCSIN and he as released on such renowned underground labels as UKF, Play Me, Fabric Live, BOKA, Black Acre, Z Audio, Ways to Die and OBSCUUR. Collaborations have included Bassnectar, 16 Bit, The Funk Hunters and Freq Nasty with support from artists such as SPFDJ, I Hate Models, The Glitch Mob, N Type, BBC1 DJ MistaJam and Plastician on RINSE FM. His productions have also earned commercial success through TV placements (most notably TheCW network and MTV).

Anthony has taught at such renowned institutions such as Garnish Music Production School (UK, BER), HIT (Vancouver), Nimbus School of Media Arts (Vancouver), and Langara (Vancouver).

Despite the devaluation of modern music via movements such as EDM and corporations such as Spotify, we maintain the importance of crafting impeccable sound. It is our conviction that music and sound are not just an ambient phenomenon but a spiritual language as old as our very DNA. As such it can evoke worlds beyond our 3D reality and is a precursor to revolutions and societal shifts. It is in this spirit that we undertake our work, with dignity, pride and a felt sense of the wonder of sound.
