Ahead of Pilgrims of the Mind’s first live performance in Vancouver since 2001 on September 5th at Brain Bath, he’s been sharing some essential ephemera of yesteryear and some unreleased music with us (more on that later). Safe to say anticipation is mounting, and we’re elated to finish off the summer season here in Vancouver with a memorable session from one of the scene’s founding forces and most iconic producers.

Enjoy this dusty reel of live performance photos, studio shots, and press photos featuring some iconic Vancouver locations in the background. If you haven’t already purchased a ticket, now would be a wonderful time to do it. Head over to Resident Advisor to secure your spot on the dance floor.

Vancouver! This Friday night we welcome the return of the Jonah Ocean Trio, a Vancouver supergroup comprised of Jonny Tobin, Chris Bede, and of course, Jonah Ocean. If you’ve spent time in Vancouver’s live music scene, more notably in the jazzier or funkier corners of it, these names should be on your radar. If they’re not, you’re in for an absolute treat! Join us at The American on August 21st for an extended live set that will seamlessly drift between psychedelic funk, R&B, hip-hop, and beyond.

Entry is FREE with RSVP. Hit that conveniently located link in my bio and get involved.

Vancouver. Good news. BRAIN BATH returns for its third session on September 5th with our dear friend Kelbey Saruk performing live, the return of Softer Drink’s complimentary tea service, and Pilgrims Of The Mind’s first live performance in Vancouver since 2001.

Pilgrims of the Mind is the moniker of Stephane Novak, a seminal figure in the history of Canada’s West Coast underground. Emerging from the fertile 90s warehouse culture of Vancouver, Stephane’s work has been celebrated for its meticulously crafted fusion of psychedelic house, ambient, and proto-trance.

While Stephane has remained a dedicated devotee to the craft for decades, his catalog has recently enjoyed a major resurgence among a new generation of selectors and audiophiles. This revival was sparked by the acclaimed 2023 reissue of his 1997 masterpiece, What’s Your Shrine?, by London-based label Heels & Souls, alongside key EP reissues on the Greek imprint Echovolt. These releases have garnered praise from publications like Mixmag and Test Pressing, reintroducing his “explosive” and “mind-expanding” productions to dance floors worldwide.

As always, the BRAIN BATH DJs will be priming the floor before, between, and after and making sure the energy stays intact and intentional. We’re pulling out all the stops for this one and can’t wait to wind down the summer with you all in fine style.

$20 early bird tickets are available on Resident Advisor now.

Greetings! Episode 101 of Pacific Spirit is here. This time around Pacific Rhythm alumni returns to the program with an hour of techy rollers recorded outdoors on a balmy afternoon right here in Vancouver, British Columbia. Here’s what SMP had to say about the recording.

“a crisp 60 minutes of vintage techhouse recorded as the sun set on Granville Island late last summer - s/o to the sound tech , the Paradise boys, and Yu su for handling a slightly overcooked warm-up”

Head over to the Pacific Rhythm SoundCloud and have a listen. You’ll be glad you did!

Vancouver! The time has come to put Vibe Corridor back in its resting place. Could it be temporary? Could it be forever? Time will tell.

As always, there’s $0 cover in effect all night long, and the music starts at 9pm and plays without interruption until 1am. Thanks for all the memories.

BRAIN BATH returns on May 29th for another evening of heady downtempo, blissed-out ambient, and life-affirming audio that doesn’t typically find its way onto Vancouver dance floors. May 29th also happens to coincide with the release of Boards Of Canada’s new LP “Inferno,” so we’ll be headed to Audiopile to grab our copy and will be playing it front to back to start the night. What better way to consume what may be the most important electronic music of the decade than in a chill-out room environment in front of a massive sound system with a handful of like-minded individuals?

Afterwards, the dance will begin with the BRAIN BATH DJs and the city’s headiest vibe practitioner, dj_2button of the legendary Weirdos inc. crew closing the night out. Uplifting, interesting, and unexpected beverages will also be served all night long with extra care and attention.

Tickets are available now via .
