Although this is their first time performing for thousands in North America on a stage alongside The Black Eyed Peas, Rush, Iron Maiden and Carlos Santana, JoSH are a household name in India/Pakistan with performances in over 25 countries under their belt. With three platinum plus albums and frequent stadium performances for tens of thousands, JoSH even toured South East Asia with Nelly Furtado in 2007.
JoSH (meaning “passion” in Hindi) have also been heralded around the world as the first Indian/Pakistani fusion band, consisting of Rup Magon (of Punjabi Sikh heritage, based in Toronto) and Qurram Hussain (of Pakistani Muslim heritage, based in Montreal). They are also the only South Asian band to have received MTV Awards in both India and Pakistan, and have filmed over 13 music videos in a variety of cities including South East Asia and Canada.
JoSH will be performing with a 10 piece band at the Quebec City Summer Fest on July 14th at 5:30 PM in Quebec City at the Scene Metro (Place d’Youville). Their innovative set will also showcase a variety of South Indian instruments including the dholaks, dhol, Indian violin and flute.

dubLoner & Isaac Haile Selassie to release “The Fight, The Spirit” + Free MP3
Free download of EP track “The Fight, The Spirit (Kush Arora Remix)”
www.rephlektorink.com/kits/DublonerFightsIsaacHaileSelassie.mp3
The Reggae / Dub / Roots Music – ahem – Dubstep scene is growing throughout the global underground and we’d like to introduce you to a character that’s been at the forefront for a long time – Isaac Haile Selassie. On “The Fight, The Spirit” the Los Angeles-by-way-of Ethiopia singer/songwriter/musician teams up with producer dubLoner (AKA Kenneth James Gibson) for an original release that marries a classic sound and socially conscious lyrics with remixes that provide a contemporary flair. It’s an evolutionary step in forward-thinking electronic dub.
Straight up, “The Fight, The Spirit” is a beautiful piece of downtempo music with Isaac’s passionate vocals dropping over dubLoner’s delicate instrumental. On the remix front, Djunya opens his bag of tricks while managing to keep the structure of the original piece intact. Kush Arora brings it to the big systems with a bassed-up and more electronic version of the track. Still, Isaac is there front and center singing his mind. “Backoff!,” the second original track on the EP, is a dubby club track built with 4/4 house beats that twists and turns into a purple haze. Finally, Ruoho Ruotsi reshapes the track into a bubbly, underwater vibe that’s all about chill.
dubLoner is the reggae, roots and dub alias for the man known in everyday circles as Kenneth James Gibson. Since releasing his first record in 1994, he’s recorded under the aliases apendics.shuffle, Eight Frozen Modules, dubLoner, The Premature Wig, Men In Slippers, Cascabel Gentz, KJ Gibbs, Reverse Commuter, Bal Cath, Electronic Music Composer, and Hiss & Buzz (with Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto), among others. Gibson was also the founder of noise pop band Furry Things and helped launch Adjunct Records in 2005
Isaac Haile Selassie is the real deal and his global journey is one of intrigue and inspiration. Born in a rural area of Ethiopia, his mother passed away before he was a year old and unable to care for him, his father brought him to the capital city, Addis Ababa and gave him over to the care of the late Emperor, Haile Selassie I. Isaac was placed in His Imperial Majesty’s boarding school, which the Emperor himself established, and was overseen personally by His Majesty and in close proximity to the palace. Isaac’s last name is Haile Selassie because he was raised by Haile Selassie I. When the Emperor was deposed, Ethiopia was thrown into political turmoil and Isaac left his country by foot, walking through the desert and until he reached Sudan, where one night he met a group of other Ethiopians who were listening to Bob Marley, a pivotal moment in Isaac’s life. Marley’s message of love and peace resonated within Isaac’s own experience of dealing with life’s harsh realities first hand. From that point on, Isaac (now based in Los Angeles) has been committed to promoting harmony among people around the world and ending racism through the power of his music and lyrics.
“The Fight, The Spirit” is available digitally and as limited edition wax with individually hand painted sleeves from May 25 through de’fchild
Canadian R&B Singer / Songwriter Shaharah Releases Her Debut E.P. No Turning Back
Born and raised in Montreal, Shaharah started writing and rhyming at the age of five. At the age of fourteen, she joined the Montreal gospel choir, Genuine Faith, where she realized that singing was her calling in life and what she truly wanted to do. While Shaharah was part of the Montreal girl group Jaï for a short time, she wrote their first single, Checkin’ Me Out. After placing top twelve on the third season of the Canadian reality series Popstars: The One, she declined to continue on the show, realizing her path was to become a solo artist.
The lead single and title track from the 6 song EP No Turning Back sends a powerful positive message about the decision to look only forward and not worry about the past, a concept taken from Shaharah’s own life experiences. With the song Secret, Shaharah shares her own emotional lyrics on love and yearning partnered with a slow, meditative musical melody. The entire album showcases a vocal confidence and straightforward skill coupled with the seamless blend of modern pop and classic R&B rhythms. Shaharah has an undeniable ‘girl next door’ quality that’s simultaneously seductive and playful. Her lyrics speak not so much of innocence, but of the experience and confidence she’s gained over the years.

This summer, the New York/Montreal-based duo Chromeo have dancefloors, funk fanatics, and a growing following of die-hard fans primed for another round of hits with the release of Business Casual, out August 17th on Atlantic Records.

Mixed by longtime Chromeo collaborator Phillipe Zdar and featuring artwork by the multifaceted Paris design collective Surface 2 Air, Business Casual marks a continuation of the fierce funk jams that Chromeo do best – as well as a new sophisticated, mature direction with more lovers’ ballads woven into the mix.
The pair will also hit the road this July and August on a full 23-date US tour, including festival appearances at Lollapalooza and most notably a joint performance with Daryl Hall at this year’s Bonnaroo Festival on June 11th.
