Biography of Ambivalent
Kevin McHugh (aka AMBIVALENT) is a native of Washington, DC and resident of New York City. His musical development began in DC where he was influenced by the broad nature of that city’s music scene. Early exposure to acidhouseand industrial side-by-side with DC’s homegrown go-go and hardcore punk scenes deeply influenced his music.
After a brief period in London, Kevin moved to New York in 1996. He began producing a music series inside the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage for Creative Time. Over the next 5 years he produced events with artists such as Thomas Brinkmann, Dimbiman, Carl Craig, Ryoji Ikeda, Pole, and many more. It was during this time that he began making a connection with Minus. He went on to
produce events in New York featuring friends such as Magda, Troy Pierce and his roommate Jesse (Heartthrob) as well as Matthew Dear, Akufen and Sammy Dee.
He moved to Berlin in 2004 to help Richie Hawtin produce the Plastikman live concert. He later returned to New York and re-dedicated himself to producing music inspired by his friends. He answered an ad for an apartment, and moved in with a DJ named Camea. She later created Clink Recordings. He DJs regularly in New York, and on his internet radio show, The Nerd Tank, with Camea. He has releases and remixes (past and forthcoming) on Minus, Clink, Klickhaus, Esperanza, and Leftroom.

Biography of Mike Shannon
With over 10 years of DJ skill under his belt, including the operation of his renowned 12” record label, Cynosure Recordings, Mike Shannon is recognized as one of the central figures in Canada’s emerging electronic music scene.
The trajectory of Shannon's career mirrors that of the nascency of Canadian electronic music. Born and raised in Kitchener Ontario, he began DJing at the age of twelve, using a mixer bought for him by his father, and by the age of fifteen was playing for his first audiences. The year was 1993. Situated right in between Detroit's illustrious techno history and the fruition of Toronto's burgeoning rave scene, Kitchener presented a young Shannon with ample opportunity to absorb both musical legacy and creative license. These two points of reference, these parameters of past and possibility, left an indelible mark on his attitude toward music, marks that can still be seen in his work today.
