When I sat down with Canada’s resident electronic party-maker Rich Aucoin backstage at Vancouver’s Media Club, he told me he'd just been to the University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology. “I just like to keep learning,” he told me. In fact, Rich visits the big museums in every city he hits while on tour.

As I watched Rich set up his trademark parachute for his show, my mind was flooded with questions. Does he really give out his cell number to the audience at the end of each show? Did 500 musicians really work on his record? How did he end up as Girl Talk‘s hype man one night? His music is so uplifting, does he in fact bleed rainbows? I get to the bottom of everything!
