A veteran of the Montreal club scene, Brad Slyde has been making radio waves on CKUT 90.3 FM since 2001 with his weekly Heavy Rotation show. In 2003, with the help of an experimental archiving system being tested by the radio station and his mailing list, the Heavy Rotation “Funkmail” was an early form of podcasting and one of the first mp3 series in the world. With the addition of an RSS feed, the digital version of Heavy Rotation now reaches tens of thousands around the world each episode and continues to broadcast on 90.3 FM every Friday morning to Montreal and the surrounding areas.
An extremely versatile club DJ, Brad has performed scratch and breakbeat sets alongside everybody from A-Track to Z-Trip, Q-Bert or Ninja Tune’s DJ Food, as well as appearing at events with Frankie Knuckles or Mark Farina playing disco and house. He’s had the chance to learn from some of the biggest DJ legends in history while throwing parties with NYC pioneers David Mancuso and Nicky Siano. The Montreal Mirror voted him one of the city’s “Best Kept Secrets” and Urb Magazine in California has called his mixes “genius”. Brad has released vinyl on Vancouver’s Futuristic Funk Recordings, done editing work for UK record labels like Tummy Touch and Big Bear, played bass guitar on releases from Kinjo and Tastie, and recorded scratching on albums for heavy metal bands and hip hop MCs. Now a Saturday night resident at the legendary Salon Daomé club in Montreal, his Heavy Disco parties take place every 2 months.
