Biography:
Founder of underground electronic music pantheon Level 4 Productions, this enigmatic character has contributed to the causes of Montreal's electronic music subculture on various levels for over ten years as label manager, DJ, producer, promoter and music critic. Possessed since childhood with a needling drive to splice together discrete musical compositions, first with cassette decks, microphones, CD players or 8-tracks, it was only a matter of time before Sarcastic was introduced to his lifetime partner: the Technics 1200. His love for the abstract repetitive nature of techno remains informed by an early appreciation for hip-hop, stoner rock, jazz and psychedelia of all sorts, an inquisitive nature driving him to seek out new sonic media for creative expression. Equally at home behind two or three decks, Sarcastic's legendary diversity and adaptability has allowed him to perform alongside many of his major influences such as NYCs Frankie Bones, Detroit ghetto-tech DJ Assault, Stockholm's Slobodan or Thomas Krome, UK breakbeat stars Freestylers and Deekline or minimal techno/dub genius Deadbeat. Turned on to production from a DJ perspective, Sarcastic's remixes, bootlegs and original compositions regularly find their way into his seamlessly mixed, carefully programmed DJ sets. 2006 saw Sarcastic produce stomping ghetto-tek influenced remixes for France's Aiwa (Pharagonescia, Wikkid Records-009) and Montreal's live DnB act Hardsteppers (Fist Fight).
