DJ PREACH Biographie

After the phenomenal response to his debut merengue-techno releases - NO
WAR IN THE SUMMER (Iturnem) - AGAINST THE WINTER (Mbelektronics)
- and - RETUN TO THE SOURCE (Intec) - Montreal's DJ Preach began touring
the globe, exploring new cultures and music to add to his repertoire.

Noted for an ability to balance his own deep musical training with the
ephemeral
needs of the dance .oor, Preach excels at injecting emotion and energy into
the rhythmic, sometimes formulaic genre of techno music. Although he is
only
twenty-four years old, the ambitious, hard-working DJ, producer and label
manager has become a key player in the continuing success of techno music
in clubs and gatherings the world over.

With a slew of critically acclaimed releases for respected techno imprints
including INTEC, Session, Primate, Zync, Symbolism, Mbelektronics, Ascend
and Iturnem, Philippe Babin's proli.c production pace has allowed him to
rise meteorically within the ranks of techno's international elite. Named
as "the man to watch in 2005" by Carl Cox and recognized as Marco V's
favorite producer,
Preach's tracks are regularly charted by such dance music glitterati as
Paul Van
Dyk, Mauro Picotto, Green Velvet & Chris Liebing, to name but a few, and
his
passionate DJ sets have taken dance .oors by storm across North and South
America, Europe, Scandinavia and Japan.

Achieving widespread production and DJing success with relative ease, 2005
sees Preach achieving yet another milestone: the establishment of his own
label, Relic Recordings, as a home for his own recordings and mixes, and as
an arena within which he can continue his collaborations with like-minded
electronic music artists.

Preach's most recent releases, Shizzle (produced with Marco G for Yin Yang
Records) and Relic Silver's Funk Around the World, reached #1 and #4
respectively in Mixmag's techno chart, and his upcoming bookings include
Holland's Dance Valley and Free Your Mind Festival, Serbia's Exit Festival
05, Spain's Fabrik, Florida 135, Family Club, La Real, Octopus Club and
Asco Festival, and his .rst Relic Mix Compilation World Tour (Holland,
Spain, Czech Rep, Brazil and Canada) .
