WITH BEAST
MISSTRESS BARBARA
Aware of the challenges of re-creating the energy of his live performances, DJ Champion chose to incorporate elements of rock to his latest offering, Resistance, thus allowing him to deliver the same energy he captures on the live stage. Strongly inspired by turn of the century worksongs, the DJ sat down for a moment and for the first time, wrote most of the lyrics on the record. To help relay his prose, DJ Champion recruited Pilou, a young prodigy from the Montreal music scene who makes his debut appearance singing with fire and fierceness alongside DJ Champion’s signature electric guitar and electronic drum wizardry.
A strong album in its sonority with tracks that shines through the uplifting construction of the composition, Resistance, is the artist’s inner struggle to avoid venturing down the same path creatively. “I could have gone back to where I am from”, says Champion, “I could have made obscure electro, even more experimental, but for me there was no challenge in doing so!” Musical exploration has always been more important then the image projected for DJ Champion and this is made clear with Resistance’s eleven burning dance tracks that are just as contagious as any of his previous work.
Be sure not to miss DJ Champion & His G-Strings electrify the crowd March 11th at The Guvernment!
