What is the electronic music scene like in
Montreal? How does it compare to the U.S.? Have
the U.S. fans been receptive to your music?
Montreal is a great city for all kinds of arts. It is really
open to new things. It’s true that we have less of a
population there than in most major cities, so I guess
the market is really smaller in a way. Canadian
Electronic music is starting to make its way into the
world, with acts such as Caribou, Grimes, Kaytranada,
Pomo etc… We’ve only played one show in the US, in
New York. We will be playing our first shows in Los
Angeles in January. Let’s see what people think of our
music at that time! The L.A. scene is really cool, so
we’re not too worried, though.
Who are some other producers or musicians that
you look up to? Producer or artist you'd like to
work with?
We have to mention Mr.Oizo. His beats and his visuals
inspire us a lot. We actually like all the French touch
scene! We also like Flying Lotus, Kaytranada etc…
What are your fans going to be surprised
to hear you listening to in your car?
Traditional Pakistani music, African music
What are your goals moving forward?
Beat Market is all about performing live
shows and we want to be more present on the
US market. So I guess we will play a lot of
shows in the future year over there. Also, we
started to work with singers and the results
are excellent, we’re currently collaborating
more and more with vocalists and always
looking for new and fresh voices. Our last
single, “Turn Your Colors On,” is a
collaboration with the New York band French
Horn Rebellion. England and Germany are
also part of the plan in the next few years.
Tell us about your first show. What was that like?
We had our lighted space ranger suits. We actually
only remember the next morning….regaining
consciousness in a bush near the bar we played….
You have a new single with “the silken R&B croon
of guest star Malika Tirolien” "Doors." How did
that come about?
Montreal is a small music scene, Malika played a
couple of times with Max and we though it would
be great to collaborate. We were pleasantly
surprised that she chose the song Doors, a long
electro track, moodier than some of our funkier
beats like See What I Mean (ft. Aiza)
If someone wants to find out more about
EDMbiz where should they go?
Facebook is probably the best and fastest way
to learn more about EDMbiz, also Reddit etc…
How active are the both of you in
interacting with interacting with your fan
on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook?
We actually love the fact that we have a team
to deal with those things. But when we have
some funny adventures, we post it.
