Lafleche
Turbo Recordings

Although Lafleche entered the dance world in '89, he didn't get his first major break until '94. It was then, at the age of 22, that he secured a weekly slot on Montreal radio station 101.5 FM. His reputation as a DJ who could blend the best elements of house and techno was facilitated by his weekly six-hour live sets. He was so well-known that in '96 Montreal-based 514 Productions offered to be sole agent. They quickly secured him a residency at Montreal's legendary after-hours club Sona, where Lafleche would play for over 2000 clubbers every week. His reputation now firmly established, Lafleche was immediately booked for all large-scale Montreal-based dance events, notably the hugely successful gatherings, Cream, Celebration, and Swirl.

In '98, Turbo Recordings, founded by Mark Dillon and Tiga, asked Lafleche to become the second DJ to grace their Montreal Mix Sessions mix CD series. The release was well-received by dance music press throughout the world, and helped establish Turbo Recordings as a prime outlet for underground Canadian talent. In response to the success of the first release, Turbo invited Lafleche back to mix number four in the series. Montreal Mix Sessions Volume 4 combines smooth progressive mixing skills with an impeccable track selection that takes in elements of funky percussive house and dark loopy techno. With DJs like Lafleche, it's no wonder that Montreal has become the focus of the dance music underground.
