A vital figure in Montréal’s electronic underground, Stephen Beaupré has spent over two decades crafting micro-house and techno with a playful yet emotional edge. Known for his intricate vocal sampling, syncopated grooves, and lush synth work, his music radiates joy, nostalgia, and experimental spirit.

Beaupré first emerged as one half of Crackhaus, the beloved duo formed with Deadbeat (Scott Monteith), before releasing his acclaimed solo debut Foe Destroyer in 2006. Since then, he’s released on labels like Circus Company, Wagon Repair, and Perlon. In 2010, he expanded his vision through Gemmiform, an ambitious audiovisual collaboration with visual artists Nancy Belzile, Patrick Bernatchez, and David Fafard.

After a period focused on studio work, Beaupré returns in 2024 with Vanishing Night, his first album since 2018’s Kill Sugar—a record that blends rousing rhythms, fragmented vocals, and haunting warmth. Known for his immersive Ableton Live sets enhanced with drum machines and synths, he performs only original compositions, channeling spontaneity and intention in equal measure.
