Moiz Vibe: Half Beatmaker, Half Eargasms Specialist!
Sonically speaking Montreal is on a league of its own with its multiple influences and it’s a beatmaker’s challenge to translate this reality through snares & melodies.

In the recent years, producers like Kaytranada & High Klassified had a phenomenal rise in the music scene. It became obvious that people were now paying attention to our sound like never before.
While making hits for celebrities and touring the world; they became our worldwide ambassadors. A fair question would be: Who’s the next to blow up?
Hidden in Longueuil, there’s a 6 foot something man with a contagious energy & sense of humour that might work his way to the spotlight; the man in question is MoïZ Vibe.
It seems like history repeats itself again because another south shore’s very own is carrying the torch sonically. Indeed, Francillon François aka MoïZ Vibe has what we call “The Ear” for music!
As a beatmaker, he manages to blend Montreal’s uniqueness in a ingenious & subtle way. Montreal is a melting pot with Caribbean flavours, French music, American influences & electro music. MoïZ is able to capture all this in a a song format just for your ears.
From old school samples, hard bass, 808s, remixes & more; this Montreal beatmaker pushes boundaries release after release. With his collective called “Good Vibe People”, they promote & break talents on a monthly basis through their movement called Art Jam.
Today we will show you why MoïZ Vibe is definitely Montreal’s best kept secret (& most likely the next producer to blow up on a global scale) .
That Good Old Soul Music
Sampling is a lost art these days so it’s always refreshing to see a new school producer paying homage to his roots. You can feel the various influences that MoïZ added to this track.
A perfect mix between “College Dropout” and a groovy song from the 70’s!
When Reggea & Hip Hop Meet, This Is What It Sounds Like!
Dancehall and reggae music have been there forever regardless of what people think. A lot of people credit Drake for bringing it to mainstream culture. Little did they know, us Canadians, were on that wave a while ago!
Unless you live under a rock, Dancehall was a major part of your music catalog at one point or another (remember them Sean Paul days)!
Jamaicans have a strong presence in Canada at large, so it wasn’t a surprise for me to see a young Haitian producer from the south shore incorporate Mavado’s voice in his beats.
MoïZ Vibe’s sound doesn’t compromise the essence of the music genre. We can still feel the rawness of Gully God’s lyrics while vibing to the melodies; this is MoïZ’s touch at its finest!
More Than Remixes, Moiz Reinvent The Classics!
For all my 90’s babies who miss the golden era of music, this talented has that fire for you! It’s always risky to touch the legends’ classics and once again, MoïZ doesn’t disappoint!
After hearing his music, we wanted to know more about the south shore prodigy. We eventually got to sit down with the producer to talk about his influences, future projects and what makes his sound so unique!

Malefycia Is Restoring The Feeling, One Spooky Scream At A Time
Long are the days when I was cruising down the streets on October 31st either looking for candies to devour for 3 weeks straight or even as an adult looking for a popping club where I could tell people ”My costume is ME tonight”.
The truth is, I think Malefycia restored something that I thought was buried inside me. They reminded me that not only I liked Halloween but I just couldn’t find an alternative in my adult life to spark my curiosity on one side and get the thrill going on the other.
Malefycia been around for a minute but this year they’re trying something different…I mean different.
You’re familiar with the 7 sins in the bible don’t you? You’re aware of what a haunted house is supposed to be don’t you? Well, something in their team had the genius and actually vicious idea to combine these two things who might have nothing to with each other on the outside looking in but in this new adventure/haunted house experience; it all make sense!
their show called V7CE is cross theatre performance, cross the most scary thing you’ve ever seen. The show includes different scenes and interactive plays putting on the forefront the 7 sins from the bible.
What always stand out to me when it comes to Malefycia, is there raw and authentic attention to details.
Do yourself a favor and come immerse yourself in this universe and your inner child and your thrill-seeking inner adult have some fun.

The city has been quiet fashion wise over the years and as platform that mostly talked about fashion in its inception, we’ve felt it the most over here.
There would be sparks of hope here and there but besides Festival De Mode & Design, not a lot of things really stood out.
When I heard about ”The Glitch” it’s like I knew what it was about without nothing what it was about.
I mean good branding is good branding but it was more so who’s behind the good branding this time around. I had the chance to work with Myraï Lavoie in the past and one thing I can is : there’s a method to her madness.
Every artist has an eye and that eye is shaped by our views of the world and life experiences. Myraï had an interesting life.
One where being different is actually the move. One where if you don’t fit somewhere, you don’t try to get in the mold, you bend it.
For all the lack of support or misunderstand she got in Montreal, she found a place to be creative working or being in room with the likes of Paris Hilton & P. Diddy to name a few.
What she’s learned from coming out of her shell and experiencing the world she’s about the share it with us with her own fashion called ”The Glitch” tonight.
”The Glitch” is exactly what I thought it was going to be. A standout experience and experience and something you’ve never seen before just like its creator.

We are now entering an era where we want to know more about what is going on on the other side of the world.
How people are living, their culture and what is their reality compared to ours.
Sometimes the depiction of such reality is either unfair or made to look down at somebody. Other times, filmmakers have the challenge to depict a reality in a way to uplift what other cultures are bringing to the table.
Milan Bihlmann and Muammer Yilmaz are two filmmakers who know where they stand when it comes to that.
”Rêves D’Afrique” is the epidemy of that. The two filmmakers decided to go to 7 countries in Africa to not only paint the picture for the world but to give the good people out there something we forget to give one another : ”a piece of yourself’.
Armed with a backpack, film gear and true altruism, the duo spread love and good deeds wherever they could throughout their trip.
Watch The Trailer
Les Grands Explorateurs being this platform to uncover the world made the right choice by adding this beautiful piece to their program.
Up until November 1st, you still have the chance to see the beautiful piece in theater and then online starting November 2nd.
