Description:

Level 4 Productions has provided an outlet and a second family for some of Montreal’s top underground electronica talents through various projects, including event organization and promotion, music publishing, radio show broadcasting, graphic design and live performance, since the early 1990s. Currently counting among its members eight DJs, many of whom also produce music and promote, and a VJ, the collective represents the voice of the urban subculture, abiding by such tried, tested and true tenets as "if the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise"; "one love"; or "we’re all gonna die!" Level 4’s record label Standard first brought Kidstatik’s productions to the world with the release of Contra Diction, the Tekstyle weekly proved that hard techno could thrive outside of the after-hours milieu, and their continuing growth shows all of us the beauty of living off the beaten path, as it were. Hard techno DJs Kilobyte, Freebass, and Toltech form the core of the roster, while variety can be found in the deeper, more minimal style of Module M (currently based in Montpellier, France), the broad diversity of founder Sarcastic, or the psychotropic grit hop of the enigmatic DJ Karl Marx. The most recent additions to Level 4's roster are sherm-grind foursome EMS and the band's sideproject, Phlegmatic Bilious Rectoscopy. VJ Mindlab exhibits dazzling, sometimes humorous, sultry or shocking visuals at numerous clubs, events and afterhours in Montreal and Quebec City on a regular basis.

Level 4’s willingness to work with other promotion companies has led to collaborations with Nice Productions, Kirk6, Kops Crew, Morphee, Millenium Productions, Clonk, Aria, Stereo, Alien Crew and many more, producing Level 4 events at clubs Jingxi, Juice, Blue Dog, Tokyo, Amnesia, Jai Bar or Kokino’s, to name a few, and in a host of local loft and studio spaces.

"Behold! Human beings living in an underground den, which has a mouth open towards the light... here they have been from their childhood" (Socrates, the Allegory of the Cave).

The 4th Level: (definition) The audio equivalent of combining all known psychedelic drugs together in the human body at once, producing an orgiastic rapture of total sensory overload.
