ElectraNauts:
ElectraNauts are a live electronic band based on Cortes Island fueled by live electronic drums, synthesizers, loop systems, and vocals, creating the ability to bring an edgy, raw electronic sound with all the nuances of a live performance.
ElectraNauts:
SPRUNGY (aka Sean Sprungman) - VDrums, SPDX Pro, SPDX, Vocals - Sean originated from The Choda Lighting Band back in the Carrington Bay era also a founding member of the ska/funk band "Back Eddy and the Procrastinators" and currently also in "the Big Buzzz" (band). For over 25 years he has been making dance floors bounce. Moving to electronic drums for this endevour, ElectraNauts has given a serious electronic canvas that has opened the doors to push drumming into new worlds. ElectraNauts syncing system is all based from the drums, allowing the loops to sync seemlessly.
Atom (aka Adam Schick) - Keytar, Roland Mini Synth, RC 505, Vocals - Adam has also originated from "Back Eddy and the Procrastinators" and "the Big Buzzz"(band) being a vocalist and the keytar and trumpet player in both, Adam has had a long career in performing live and now gets to unleash his talent in this far more electronic foundation. This has given Adam the ability to go places and experiment in a realm less known.
MOD (aka Michael O'Donnell) - Synth, Maschine, Push, Vocals - MOD is most known for being one of TheNakedDJ's. For over 20 years, his seductive and edgy DJ style has been fueling dancefloors in the North West. From "Reggae Dance Hall Night @ The Mex", to "Carrington Bay", to "Scorpio Hallowen @ The Waverley", Michael has been DJing and bringing quality music and events for decades. Being clasically trained on piano as a young boy, now he gets to unleash pure creativity in a very new, live fomat.
ElectraNauts are what you get when you cross a ska/funk band with a DJ. You have musicians wanting to pound house like a DJ and a DJ who wants to play licks like a musician. It is a large cosmos of possibilities. "We go down many wormholes." From Dub to Hiphop, Funk to House music, it is always mystical and entertaining. The band is cutting edge and very technical using a large array of instruments and midi tools including Maschine, RC - 505, Roland synth, keytar, SPDX Pro and a looping system based off drums which control a seamless midi clock. "If you just listened to us, you would think we are made on a computer, but we are very alive!"

JPOD:
Known for unique flavor and technical precision, JPOD weaves his skills through a variety of dance music styles. He is also notorious for remixing diverse genres such as gospel, bluegrass, folk, swing, blues, reggae and soul. His sincere enthusiasm and raw dancing energy tends to win even the most jaded of souls.
JPOD's life has always been rooted in music. He was raised on piano lessons, jazz and worship music and began experimentally producing in the mid 90s. He was then inspired by turntables and taught himself the movements of scratching before even touching a crossfader. In 1999 he began DJing and instantly adapted his musical ear to mixing while continuing to evolve his production skills.
In 2007 JPOD transitioned from turntables to Ableton Live in an effort to continue growing his DJ skills while stepping up his production quality. His style now fully encompasses live remixing, touch-screen effects and drum pad routines all while maintaining the unique flavor he has always had.

He has released 2 LPs and a variety of EPs. Every year he also creates a remix album in a series called Bliss Coast in honor of Bass Coast festival. There are currently 8 volumes.

SKIAN:
DJ Skian is popularly counted among the best on the island. Known for his outrageously funky style, his signature smile, his wild hair, you know Skian is having as much fun behind the decks as you are on the dance floor. Skian started out in 2003 with help from DJ James Cameron - a pair of thrift store specials, a radio shack mixer, and a fist full of records, and the interest was sparked. He has gone on to open for such names as Stickybuds, Slynk, Jpod, Pimpsoul, Skiitour, Funkhunters, D-funk, Far Too Loud, Timothy Wisdom, Fort Knox Five, Shamik, and Hook and Sling. Mainly influenced by classic rock and his father’s record collection, Skian tries to span the ages, playing anything that moves your feet. These are melodies everyone remembers and can relate to, but presented in a whole new way. Playing festivals, clubs, parties, raves, and occasional snow-cave shindigs, Skian is a veteran in the Vancouver Island scene. This is definitely not a DJ you want to miss!
