MIRAGE - DUBVERSIFIED CULTURE

Mirage's musical journey mirrors the illusory nature of sound, bending and refracting across genres, creating an experience that captivates and transcends expectations in the realm of music production. Originally hailing from Québec, Mirage (formerly known as ‘Blackout’) began delving into the fusion of breaks and hip-hop on the analog grooves of vinyl in 2010. In his latest exploration, Mirage immerses himself in the depths of 140, UKG, Deep D&B & Jungle, consistently pushing the boundaries.

Beyond the studio, Mirage is a community-builder in Victoria, B.C.'s music scene. The architect behind Dubversified Culture, he founded this underground community in 2017 with a mission to elevate local West Coast bass artists and forge connections across global Bass music and the local dance music scenes. Host of a monthly show on Subtle Radio (UK), Mirage's dedication underscores his commitment to navigating the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music.

FUNGUS HUMUNGUS

Fungus Humungus, born Charles Philp , is a rising force in the underground electronic music scene, renowned for his unique blend of fungal bass and psychedelic beats. Originating from the vibrant city of Sooke B.C. Canada, Charles adopted the moniker Fungus Humungus to embody his vision of micro organic, transformative soundscapes that seem to grow into a dance floor frenzy, much like fungi growing along busy paths in the forest.

Fungus Humungus' journey into music began during his teenage years when he was first exposed to the psychedelic music culture at local raves and underground parties. Mesmerized by the communal spirit and the powerful way music influenced emotions and perceptions, he quickly took to DJing and music production. His early sets were characterized by a keen ability to read the crowd and move the dancefloor, a skill that remains at the heart of his performances.

As Fungus Humungus, Charles' style has evolved into an immersive auditory experience, characterized by pulsating rhythms, intricate bass lines, and ethereal synth work. His tracks often feature organic sounds and tribal elements, paying homage to the natural world that inspires him. Fungus Humungus is taking the dancefloor on a journey through auditory landscapes, each set designed to be a narrative, a trip to the inner self and beyond.

Notable performances at festivals such as headlining Otherworld festival, Applecross Festival in California USA and 2024 West Coast Cannabis Cup have marked Fungus Humungus as a must-watch DJ in the bass music scene. His sets are more than just music—they are a fungal ritual, a collective experience that echoes the roots of psychedelic gatherings. Offstage, Charles is equally passionate about audio visual production, constantly exploring new technologies and techniques to push the boundaries of what electronic music with visuals can achieve.

With a growing fan base and a schedule filled with local and international dates, Fungus Humungus is set to spread his bass spores far and wide, promising to be a vibrant and transformative presence in the world of electronic music. Whether through his hypnotic live sets or his compelling recordings, Fungus Humungus invites listeners to lose themselves in the depths of his music and find a piece of the universe unknown before!
