Origin of Spin, aka Adam Peace, is a producer, DJ and emcee who makes trip-hop, lo-fi, jazz and electronic beats. Raised in the analog era of turntables, drum machines and samplers, Spin navigates through modern technology in the digital age searching for sounds which invoke emotion, passion and impact the listener in a creatively profound way, and flow state.

Red Severight aka Reginald Severight, is a hip hop producer based in Treaty 4 Territory, Regina, Saskatchewan. Regi has been making beats for over twenty years, exploring multiple genres and sounds through his distinct lens as a hip hop artist. His style is constantly evolving, incorporating diverse samples, synths, drums and inspirations. Emotional resonance is at the core of Regi’s work, the titles of his compositions referencing his everyday life and chronicling his deepest thoughts.

Harley Sinclair is an Indigenous artist, hailing from Regina and registered as a member of the Peepeekisis Cree Nation in the File Hills region of Treaty 4. Born in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1988 and raised in southern Saskatchewan, Harley's artistic inspiration is drawn from the vast prairie landscapes, living skies, and turbulent life experiences that have shaped his worldview.
