ElectroMac has started to put music and production together with some local Canadian talent and at this Time spending a lot of time in his studio perfecting his sound in Cubase and using a number of tools to produce his Progressive Electro tech sound. ION Syndicate: A group of 500 artists making connections in the industry, Next generation of producers. The Hole idea behind ION SYNDICATE is to unite the world with Canada and make solid connections with producers and remix artists

Winnipeg: Since 1994 Has been Producing Full scale events and dj all over Canada and parts of USA .96 Started to promote clubs and parties. Quick to find clubs to work at and in no time at all was hooked up with Destiny productions Thump Thursday’s opening for Os/2, Eric S, and many others at Area 51 in the heart of Toronto. After 2 years in Toronto was a resident at the bassmint and the Pad after and could be found playing at most of the Toronto clubs at one point or another. the mission was to become nationally know and felt it was time for another city to get more exposure in Canada.

Calgary: 1998 hosted a jungle night called Ionosphere at the Koop night club and a few nights a week at Heaven after hours (owned and operated by DJ H8 a local Calgary dj that has been doing parties since the early 90) both nights were Jungle and tech house This gave way to play alongside Calgary Icons: Double D, Mel Ray’s, Special K, Delirious, Freak , Dominic G, Rice, Carry Chang, Rickie is known and very respected in Calgary, “it was not easy to do” Rickie said but this paved the way to Vancouver with G House and Peachykeen production (the legendary Summer Love, Summer Solstice parties).

Vancouver: 1998 Hooked up in Calgary with G-House productions out of Vancouver and found a few places to play in Vancouver UFO Night club right next to Super club Sonar. this was the start of many clubs played.
