Festival Season Begins!!!
The summer is fast approaching, which means we can finally crawl out of our apartments and start getting some sunshine once again. It also means that soon we'll be getting down next to giant stacks of speakers surrounded by the beauty of nature... fuck yes.
To celebrate I've put up a pair of real melodic progressive tunes that I've been saving for awhile. They're not the typical Zentrix sound, but hopefully you like 'em! I've put them up on Bandcamp, which means that if you feel so inclined you can make a small donation when you download the files (in any format you wish, I might add...). You can also choose to grab them for free if you so wish or don't have a paypal account, just enter $0 for the amount.
These tunes are meant to capture the feeling of watching the sky change as the sun rises and falls at dusk and dawn at festivals. Evolution has a bit more of that sunrise vibe, while Melt the Sky hints more at the twilight creeping at sundown...
So! For festivals, here's a few that I'll be playing at this summer! Hope to see you there.

So far 2011 has been proceeding very well. It's been great to see so many of you wonderful people out at the Katacombes Tuesday nights, they've been a blast all year!
Currently I've got a few projects underway. As of the SPORE party in December I've completed about 10 brand new tracks, and I'm in the process now of refining the mixdowns and arrangements so I can start sending them off to labels. LOTS of new material on the way...so for those of you who are impatient to hear some fresh tunage, don't worry! It's on the way...
Upcoming events:
Feb. 15th @ Katacombes w/Psydraulix, La Druide
Feb 19th BOOM TISK @ The Warehouse Club w/Moevalith, Shane Hunt, and Matt Bran
Feb 25th @ Hexa-5's Birthday Jam
March 15th @ Katacombes w/Stephane Shacro

April 30th @ ANDROMEDA, 3 Room All-Night Event presented by Digital Garden and Prism Code (this one is going to be huge! Details coming soon)
Wow! Thank you so much Montreal... Digital Garden's first party with Sensient was a huge success, lots of smiling faces. Everyone go out there and spread the word about this guy's music! Sensient really impressed a lot of us. Crazy crazy fun.
Keep your ears to the ground about the next Digital Garden event... ; )

Local Montreal VJ Anarkid has been kind enough to rig up a sick little video for about 10 minutes of the Dimension X mix.
Check it out on Youtube here, and leave some feedback!

Expect an intricate, dark, expansive, and groovy selection. My personal favourite track is the Valentino Kanzyani one that comes in at around 42 minutes. Layering a full 6 minute sample from a lecture on quantum physics? Classy move Mr. Kanzyani, classy move.
