DJ Whorito is a Colombian-born, Canadian-raised DJ who started during his university days, mainly mixing mainstream reggaeton. Coming from a heavy background of Salsa, merengue and reggaeton, he began experimenting more once he moved to Montreal in 2022. His sound is ideally the party starter as his track selection varies from lowdown and sweaty reggaeton to high BPM guaracha. He has been able to help Organize Pikete Montreal since 2023 as well as Sudaka Collective since 2022.

« 00stains is the multimedia project of Samuel Houston, featuring zines, videos, and sounds that document his journey through Montreal’s nightlife scene and beyond. It’s an unapologetically queer project that rejects capitalist interests, instead embracing the complexities of identity to foster underground networks of care and community. This mix reflects the eerie vibes experienced during the transition from winter to spring in Montreal. Each spring symbolizes a chance for personal realignment and reigniting dormant passions. »

éli del (Ariane Gagné) aims to dive into crude, visceral and enlightening experiences to come back and share what they have found in the abyss. Their practice makes use of calligraphy, diagrams, drawings, songs and tattoos, tools which allow them to connect to their epigenetic legacy of trauma, poverty, mental health and addiction problems, while invoking an inspiring heritage of witchcraft, visions and spirituality. This process leads to pictorial objects that form an erratic cartography inspired by Chaos Magick, psycho-pop literature and ecofeminist practices. Like molts that result from moments of healing, evolution or involution, their works integrate poetic messages – a sibylline prose that is blurred by sharp and sinuous scribbles and abstruse symbols. This textual aspect of their work is made to be sung, deciphered, or left to interpretation, taking the form of motivational phrases and enigmatic advice that serve as an invitation to regeneration, fluidity and ruin.

Graduate of UQAM’s Visual and Media Arts program (2019), they live between europe and Tio’Tia:Ke (Montreal), where their work has been shown in exhibitions, festivals and various public and private spaces such as Projet Casa, Art souterrain and Espace Maurice. They also exhibited pieces in Alcamo (IT), Québec city (CA), Berlin (DE), Brussels (BE) , Youngstown (OH) and Hudson (NY).
