Brian Thabault is a New York City based music producer, DJ & multi-disciplinary artist, with roots in Vermont and up-state New York. His path through music developed across the country in Montana, and back to NYC in 2017. With a distinct focus on house & techno, Brian’s musical range as a producer extends from ambient, through Down-tempo, Hip-hop, R&B and Pop. As co-founder of the label Tri Music Group, Brian has many projects out under his own name and collaborative projects, Spin Department and Shy Fidelity. As a performer, Brian explores DJing as well as Live performance. His DJ performances walk between many genres, blending digital and vinyl formats depending on the venue and environment.
His live set is a fully customized Ableton Live set, containing stems of his own productions that he expertly mixes in improvisational ways, with the aid of a drum machine and outboard effects. Given the range of his catalog, these sets can range from ambient and downtempo to club focused house and techno. Brian has brought his live set to notable stages such as ReSolute & Cityfox in NYC, as well as club gigs at Flash Club in DC and other underground clubs and parties in the region.
Brian is also the founder of Co/Function, a monthly event in NYC focused on live electronic music and visual improvisation. Each event is a curated group of up to 8 musicians and visual artists to collaborate and improvise live. The individual artists are linked together by a common midi clock, using DJ mixers to blend together synths, drum machines, traditional instruments and their own vocals. This recurring night is quickly becoming a staple in the NYC electronic music community, staying on the cutting edge of technology and electronic music culture.
