Some info on PHEEK:
"Hailing from North America?s Mecca of minimal sounds, Montreal?s Pheek has been blazing a brilliant path into the future of music, and gaining international acclaim in the process. Born Jean Patrice ?JP? Remillard, in 1998 this lifelong music fan, early rave enthusiast, and college radio DJ attended a performance by Richie Hawtin (playing live as Plastikman) that would forever change his perspective on music. Inspired by this performance, he adopted the moniker Pheek, and within a year he was performing his own original material live and soon released his first 12?.

In the six years that have followed, JP has been making a steady rise to the upper echelons of the minimal/micro scene?s most respected and innovative producers and performers. His style is rooted in the funky, minimal sounds of German tech-house, but is tempered with a heady dose of the ethereal and experimental, resulting in a unique sound all his own. In 2005, now with 3 European tours, 4 full length albums and numerous acclaimed EPs on labels such as Telegraph, Clever Music, Tic Tac Toe, Thinner, Epsilonlab, and his own Archipel under his belt, Pheek?s talent is getting the worldwide recognition it deserves.

This year has been an especially exciting one for JP. After getting extensive play by DJs such as Richie Hawtin and Magda, Pheek was invited to contribute a track to M-nus Records? first ever compilation, Minimize to Maximize, and also landed an EP on Jay Haze?s Contexterrior label, alongside such artists as Haze, Ricardo Villalobos, and Robag Wruhme. To top things off, he was invited to perform live at both Montreal?s MUTEK Festival, where he played at the Finale, as well as Detroit?s FUSE-IN Festival (formerly the DEMF) where he delivered an unforgettable set on the Underground Stage."

We're so happy to present this huge talent to you in this intimate environment for his first ever appearance in the Pacific Northwest!
and as if that wasn't enough... there's more!

SPECIAL BDAY PARTY FOR

31 AVAS [DJ SET][KPSU RADIO]

www.kpsu.org

You know, I'm sitting here trying to write a bio that will do 31Avas justice, and man, I'm telling ya, it's killing me cause if you live in portland you should already know how much Ava ROCKS! But... for formality's sake, I was able to string a few words about the BIRTHDAY GIRL together:
A long time Portland tastemaker, 31Avas has the tracks that really burn up the dancefloor. Her Severe Exposure radio show on KPSU has been running for over 3 years, always featuring forward thinking electronic music such as Jake Fairley, T. Raumschmiere, Ellen Allien, Jerry Abstract, Client, Adult., Mylo, Das Bierbeben, Superpitcher, Squarepusher, Cat Wash, Audion, Solvent, Goldfrapp, Out Hud, Jennifer Cardini, Dwayne Sodaberk, The Faint, Barbara Morgenstern, Midwest Product, Bonobo, Trans Am, Otto Von Schirac, Tomas Anderson ... every Tuesday at 10pm. With a playlist like that you KNOW your feet are gonna be tired saturday morning. Don't take my word for it though, be there to hear her, and to wish her a huge happy birthday yourself! By the way, Ava's famous annual birthday party has historically been held at her apartment. Well, last year a thing or two went haywire, so she's decided to grace us with the honors of being hosts. So consider it a houseparty come to the club if you will. Just fucking be there!
