“DJ Unknown, a genre-defying DJ and producer from Toronto, has been shaping the music landscape for over two decades. He has released four albums with Tru-Paz and eight EPs between Tru-Paz and The 20/20 Project, with solo albums like “DJ Unknown’s Android Repair Service” (2021) and “DJ Unknown’s Android Repair Service Vol. 2” (2022) demonstrating his production prowess.
In 2024, DJ Unknown will release his most ambitious project to date: “Leaving Earth”. This unique album blends live band recordings with DJ elements and samples, fusing heavy metal, boom bap, and electronic influences from legends like DJ Shadow, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Pink Floyd, and Radiohead. The result is a genre-bending sound that stands out through its dynamic interplay of live instrumentation and electronic production.“Leaving Earth” is more than an album—it’s an immersive experience. DJ Unknown has teamed up with Trinumedia to merge CGI visuals and animation with the music, crafting a sci-fi space opera that tells the story of leaving a dystopian Earth in search of meaning. This multimedia collaboration brings the album’s futuristic themes to life in a bold, cinematic way.”
The second single from Canadian artist DJ Unknown’s upcoming album, due out November 29, Starships is a electrifying blend of NOVA-esque vocal samples, electronic punctuations, whining guitar progressions, and eery keyboard sections. Produced using live band recordings and a mix of samples, what truly stands out about this latest from DJ Unknown is the technique and clearly superior creative process. Mashing together boom-bap, metal, and electronic music has been done before but you’ve never heard it done this way!
