DOWNLOAD: Dean-O-Matic's Mix "Pioneer DJ"

Dean-O-Matic (Sioux-Dakota Whitecap) is an old school DJ in the Canadian electronic music scene. He says what makes him old school, besides his age, are his values - "God is a DJ. Life is a dance floor. Love is the rhythm. You are the music". Dean-O-Matic emerged from the Plastic Puppet Motive in the 90's out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and is the former "Flatlands" creator and columnist for Tribe Magazine. These days he lives in Calgary, Alberta, where he claims he is a semi-retired DJ. You can still find his brand of ethereal deep, textured, trance mixes up on his Soundcloud though, including this recent mix - Pioneer DJ.

DOWNLOAD: Chief Stockton - "Sing That Ish"

Sioux producer and artist Chief Stockton is in the thick of his culture and community - from his first hip hop group GPD, to the duo that launched his career Black N Mild, these days he runs oursecretsociety and dopenativeboy. He's studied criminal law and Native history and after taking a break from music, has recently returned to writing, recording and releasing his own tracks. We’re glad for it. His production is polished, his work political, thoughtful and articulate - putting his own lyric “stand up for what you believe in, not what they want you to believe in” to practice.
