Aviatrix

Thank you Electric Pines Music Festival 2024! Tommy Knuckles, Jen Partridge along with all the other staff and volunteers, you guys made sure this weekend was the perfect end to the festival season. And I can't express enough how much the Wikuo'm stage meant to me. Thank you for this so very much. 🙏❤️

To the vendors, art and stage teams, performers, other djs, and most especially to the dancers and attendees, thank you so much for everything. It was nothing but vibes from the start until when I left late Sunday night. I appreciate all of you so, so much. Let's keep caring and looking out for one another. ❤️

I hope to see those of you who want to keep the party going for our upcoming event Stellar 5 featuring Charife on September 20th at The Mouse Trap/Good Robot. Reserve your spot now, info in the event link. ✨🎶

Until next year, see you then!

To say I'm in shock to be playing the Wikuo'm tent stage at the same time as the headliners grace the other stages on Saturday at Electric Pines Music Festival 2024, would be a huge understatement. I feel so blessed to have the support of amazing people behind me granting me this opportunity. I can't wait to follow my good friend Tãndãv and then hand the reins over to a talented friend and producer DJ Dartfrog. All the buds are gonna smash this stage, from start to finish, I'm looking so forward to seeing it!!

Oh, and hold your hats/drinks/fans, this set is gonna be full of recent favourites and some good oldies that remind me why I love this music so much. Trance for life. LFG!! ✨🎶

00:30 - 02:00 AM Saturday night / technically Sunday morning @ Wikuo'm (Tent) Stage

The set times have been released for ! Catch me playing the tent stage Wikuo'm Saturday night (Sunday morning) from 0030 - 0200 (12:30 AM - 2:00 AM).

I've been carefully going through my tracks, I want to showcase the old school trance sound I've always loved and is trying to make a comeback. It's high energy, techy, nostalgic but euphoric. I hope you'll come check it out and have a dance with me. ✨🎶

Part 2 of UNDERTOW the dos! is available for you to listen to now. Had to tame the speed demon in me to keep better pace with Sean, so enjoy this more laid back and groovier side of the progressive spectrum I'm not often prone to playing.

Amplified with Aviatrix UNDERTOW the dos! August 2024 Part 2 August's Amplified mix is a two part release. Sean Keating handles Part 1 which was previously released, and now Aviatrix takes over for Part 2. These were recorded for a joint appearance on Dialed In

I have returned recharged from Future Forest. What an absolutely amazing time! I got to spend quality time with my old friends Tab (SoundSyster - who snuck in an impromptu replacement set on the Nest stage Saturday for one of the headliners who was unable to make it), and Tammy (what an eye opening view into the running of the festival behind the scenes!). Love you ladies so much. ❤️

Playing Sunday afternoon to open up the Prism stage would not have been such a great experience without the support of Hannah who was stage managing with her crew. Thank you for being so nice and getting me sorted out quickly. I am now in love with those 3000's. To the folks who braved the heat to come check out my set, I hope you enjoyed the vibes and really appreciate you so much. We would not have a festival without any dancers coming out to attend it, and bringing their own participatory energy. ❤️

As always, thank you to Tim for having me, along with the rest of us, and for the effort you are always putting in to continue to evolve and grow the festival amenities and site. It looked so amazing this year on the grounds. ❤️

To the rest of the crew who make up the backbone of the festival, from the Health & Safety, Security, Custodial, Kitchen, WEX, Gate, Visual and Performative Arts, Vendors, Drivers, Media, Stage and Sound crew, and anyone else I may be missing here, you are all amazing and should be so proud of what you have accomplished with this 10 year anniversary of the festival. Thank you so much for your dedication and labour intensive hard work. You all nailed it. ❤️

Zoë it was so great to catch you enjoying some time on the dance floor. I so appreciate the work you and your art team do to elevate the space every year to new visual heights. And now knowing we have a space to honor the community members we have lost over the years just really feels right. ❤️

Sadly I did not catch a lot of sets, but of course SoundSyster playing techno on the Nest, Leiya who followed me was amazing, ATTICUS delivered a strong set of IDs so well, and my other prog sister MISS BUTLER was crushing it. ❤️

I cannot wait to see where we go from here next! So much love for FF. ❤️❤️❤️

Just a couple more days until we dance in the forest for .

I am honoured to open the Prism stage for Sunday Funday at 1pm to start the day off with some unique sounds and nostalgia inducing tracks - both old favourites reworked and some new tracks that have caught my ear. I hope you'll come down and groove with me as we work our way into the last day of the festival and soak up those final blissful vibes.

I can't wait to see you all there! 💫🎶

I'm a little late on the appreciation post for VITALITY FESTIVAL 2024, but I wanted to make sure I recognized the dedication and hard work the team put in.

Daniel Hillier, thank you so much for having me out. It was a pleasure playing on those 3000s and the sound was one of the clearest I've experienced yet. It's a lot to take on, but you nailed it! I can't wait for Vitality 2. You and the crew should be so proud of what you started here.

Mike Dignard That stage looked awesome, great work!

To the landowners - thank you for the use of your amazing property. One of the nicest sites I have been to.

Volunteer, medical and safety teams - you all were on top of everything and a pleasure to work with.

Vendors - amazing experience to have on site, you all had amazing wares.

Flow Performers - you all were amazing and kept the vibes super high. Now let's get you out of the sun for next year, 'cause that was hot!

Other DJs - everyone smashed it! What a talent roster we had here! It was an honour to share the bill with all of you!

Everyone that helped keep me sane over Friday night/ Saturday morning after I locked myself out of my car, you guys are the true MVPs - Brennen Breen (huge thanks for offering up a sleeping spot and really good convo all Friday night), Veronica Rooney, Laura Tarantulaura Bombski Mallen Danger Bombski Mike Spencer Vicky Boyle Chris Cogswell Mike Cullen and especially Phil Cousins/Elfinity for getting me home to get my spare key.

And finally, all the attendees, you made this party what it was, and we love you for it! Thank you for dancing with me.

Please feel free to add me and join our group AMP: Atlantic Melodic & Progressive if you were digging the sounds.

PS - If anyone has any photos or vids of me closing Saturday, please post here or send to me directly, always happy to give credit for them as well.

Until next year! Xo

We're at the end of the final day out from VITALITY FESTIVAL 2024, kicking off at 12pm tomorrow June 26th.

The whole weekend is stacked with absolutely incredible talent from around the Maritimes and beyond, with music catering to all electronic tastes. There are just a few tickets remaining, grab them while you can - you will not want to miss saying you were there at the very first Vitality Music and Arts Festival!

And for those who like to traverse the outer realms of space, Aviatrix plays Saturday night / Sunday morning at 430AM.

Aviatrix

After a recent decade long break since taking up djing in the early 2000's, Aviatrix is back to bring you an intuitive ear for new, fresh, cutting-edge progressive sounds that span the genres of breaks, electro, house, techno and trance. Never one to shy away from incorporating a blend of both organic and synthetic elements, her sets are a true fusion of forward thinking, quality underground music.

With tracks that have an affinity towards unrelenting growling basslines, dark and melancholic harmonies, and a predominance of staccatoesque percussive elements, they're hypnotic and seductive while still maintaining a sense of urgency and ominous destination. Driving a desire to dance is always at the forefront for Aviatrix when considering what to play.

A known regular on the local party circuit of Canada's East Coast, Aviatrix is also the founding member and driving force behind AMP: Atlantic Melodic & Progressive - both simultaneously a music label and event promotion company, and has previously had guest slots on the influential Chronicles Commends series on DI.FM, Moments show on Frisky Radio (Russia), as well as on local channels closer to home including CracknPop’s Dirty Phat Beats and Dialed In with Lash Larue on Cove FM.

Aviatrix’s natural gift for curating and programming mixes has also led to recurring bookings with most of the major local electronic music festivals including Evolve, Classics, Future Forest, and Electric Pines, which you can hear on Soundcloud, as well as her own monthly mix AIM and guest feature series Amplified, available each month.

Vitality is coming up quick. This weekend catch me late Saturday night (early Sunday morning) at 430am closing the stage for the night. I will be following some gut rattling techno, so expect a bit of trancetech to end things off. I can't wait to share these new tracks with you all, they are so good. If you were at our most recent Stellar event, you would have heard a few and could attest. See you on the dancefloor babes!

So excited to share I'll be back for my third time at 2024! This year the lineup is stacked so make sure to grab your tickets before they sell out.

July's Amplified mix out now, and we have our second installment from DMFA (David Anthony). A long time veteran with over 25+ years behind the decks, he has shared the bill with many international headliners and other locals, and has also promoted parties during the height of the rave era. Give this a listen and enjoy!

So, there's this really cool coincidence that has been happening after my gigs. I'll get a double rainbow. I rarely see rainbows at all, but after my Moncton show in December for Miss Butler, I saw a double rainbow driving home the day after. And now after Stellar 4, we had a double rainbow exactly right over the house. I'm choosing to take it to mean I'm on the right path musically. What an absolutely beautiful occurrence. 🌈❤️

Reminder - this is tomorrow night! (Saturday, June 29th 2024).

* Cool intimate venue
* Really kind and friendly staff
* Have some new pieces to add to the overall vibe
* Donate non-perishables to save even more
