Damien has been involved with electronic music for over 20 years. As DJ M_, he has been mixing vinyl since the early 2000’s after he discovered techno in Germany. After moving to Montreal in 2009, he ran the Tonewerk parties with guest DJs and live electronic acts. As a DJ, he focuses on playing the most amazing tracks—all banger, no filler.
Recently, he has been most active as a drum-machine/FX live performer with the Silicon Beats collective, who most recently played at SAT for Nuit Blanche.
M_MCHN (pronounced “Mean Machine”) is his solo live project. It is all-machines and gritty. Check out his mixcloud
He has released music as member of dream-pop band Spiderman Pterodactyl.
