Filmed in Toronto, this clip takes a look at the life and work of DJ/producers and label owners – Mike Shannon (Cynosure Recordings) and Noah Pred (Thoughtless Music). Two top Canadian exports and cutting-edge exponents of techno.

First up, Canadian-born, Berlin-based Mike Shannon talks about his label, Cynosure, partnering with his friend Jeff Milligan on the Revolver imprint, his recent album, Memory Tree, released on Plus 8 Records, the Canadian scene, and relocating to Europe. Mike is also filmed performing at a techno party hosted by Tempo in Toronto.

Next, we catch up with the deep and meaningful Noah Pred, head honcho of Thoughtless Music, and record him in the mix at a local Head Sync underground gathering – where clubbers brought their own headphones to plug into receivers/Pred’s sounds. In this footage Noah discusses his label, digital DJing, and the evolving future of the international music industry in a more democratic digital age.
