Chromatic Festival Mix Series 2018
Started in 2009 by MASSIVart, Chromatic Montreal is above all a generator of cultural experiences.
Whether visual, sound, or digital, they aim to celebrate the arts in all their forms, giving free rein to everyone’s sensibilities and interpretations. Throughout the year, the team deploys a series of events that promote local and international creative talents to help people discover or re-discover new artistic practices. Each spring, the excitement reaches its peak in the heart of a multidisciplinary festival where more than fifty artists and creators exhibit their works for a wide audience.
This year, Music Is My Sanctuary was asked to help curate the DJ lineups for both the opening and closing parties of the 2018 edition of Chromatic Festival. A few of the DJs playing were kind enough to provide some mixes to give a sense of what to expect musically. Let us be the first to tell you that they will not disappoint!
