DJ BIOGRAPHY
gl.tch
Ryan Frigault, aka gl.tch, aka DJ STUD400: I've always been a fan of music, in general, and I love how people react and are moved by it. As a dance music DJ, I'm inspired by: new wave, disco, funk, industrial, and all forms of modern electronic dance music. Playing anything from downtempo, to electro, to house, to full-on party tunes, I'll give you the perfect soundtrack for the occasion. Mash-ups, overdubs and effects, combined with an aggressive mixing style engage both the minds and the feet of my audience. With gl.tch in the system, things will never be the same.

He first got into the electronic music scene listening to one of his friends “Meditation” Jungle/Drum’n’Bass CD’s back in 1996 while living in Heidelberg, Germany. Having previously listened mostly to hip-hop, this became his new passion and once back in Halifax, Systematik began to expand his tastes to other forms of electronic music such as breakbeats. Nowadays, he known by many for his ability to bring the funk and his aggressive and technical anti-pop, hip-hop mixing style and has many influences ranging from DJ Shadow, Peanut Butter Wolf and Del tha Funkee Homosapien all the way to the Plump DJ’s, the Freestylers and DJ Hype.
