P DEADY
P DEADY (yes, his *real* name!) started dj'ing on college radio and alternative night clubs in his hometown, Calgary. Since moving to Vancouver in the mid 90's, Patrick's been a constant fixture in the city's ever evolving music scene as a DJ as well as drummer/drum machinist in experimental and shoe-gazer bands. Patrick gained a somewhat notorious reputation in the early to mid 2000's promoting and spinning cutting-edge electronic music nights at the now defunct DV8 and Sugar Refinery. The past 5 years have been very busy for P Deady as a musician, producer/remixer and dj of almost every form of music. His true love is of Afro-American dance music; namely Disco & House, and the passion he has for this music is absolutely infectious when you hear and see him play. His newest night in downtown Vancouver, THERAPY, allows P Deady to showcase not only his love of Disco, House and Funk, it allows him to test drive his new remixes as well as constantly progressing original material.
