AKYLLA
Akylla brings together the strengths and genius of musicians Sherry St. Germain and Sara Saratonin for a live electronic music movement that carries a lifetime of collaborations and studio work. Their style was shaped in a ice cave near the north pole and their quality is secured by a considerable catalog of original words and music. SteveAoki, Excision, Snails, and Terravita are only some of their collaborators and Tomorrowland (Belgium), Shambhala (Canada), Burning Man (USA), and Envision (Costa Rica) are only some of the stages they’ve hit to date.

BOOGEY THE BEAT
Lesley Boulanger AKA Boogey The Beat is an Anishinaabe DJ and Producer. A member of the Berens River First Nation, he was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Working with fellow Indigenous artists such as Wab Kinew, Leonard Sumner, Drezus, and Winnipeg’s Most has earned him production credits on award-winning projects.  A collaboration with Winnipeg-based funk band Burnt Project-1 on the release titled ‘The Blacklist’ earned them a nomination for Aboriginal Recording of the Year at the 2013 Juno music awards.
