Hri Neil AKA Ombudsman has been feeding his obsession for new sounds across musical boundaries since an early age. He has taken that deep cross-genre musical knowledge in many directions over his career as a dj, playing sets focussed on everything from dub reggae to obscure soul and exotica, from dnb and jungle, and more recently exploring bouncy, deep and sunny House. As comfortable creating an atmosphere for art openings and dinner parties as he is playing a psychedelic forest festival or rinsing out at a late night club or house party, Ombudsman is passionate about telling stories through his track selections. OMBUDSMAN has been dj-ing for over 20 years, playing venues as diverse as the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (M.O.C.C.A.), the Solstice Festival (OM Reunion Project), and the Firelight Lantern Festival (Department of Illumination).

Moon King is the synthpop project of singer and producer Daniel Benjamin. In the early 2010’s Daniel was part of the flourishing electronic music scene in Montreal and Toronto, touring with other artists as a drummer while beginning to write and produce his own music. A 2016 move to Detroit and immersion in that city’s vibrant dance music and DJ culture began to influence his own recordings, and a collection of new material found its way back to Montreal label Arbutus Records, who offered to release it.
