THURSDAY SEPT 20TH @ ACADEMY CLUB 10PM


DJ, graphic designer, former Fader Editor and always tastemaker Nick Barat aka Catchdubs, recently left Fader to work full-time on his
newly founded record label "Fools Gold" (co-run with friend A-Trak).

Nick will be on tour with the label come October, but is returning to Montreal first this Thursday Sept 20th to rock a Peer Pressure party.

Based in Brooklyn, Nick Catchdubs has been dropping his signature
party sets (hip hop, dancehall, electro, rock and more, with original remixes and re-edits for good measure, and an emphasis on new music) all across the country for the past three years. It's not an"everything goes" approach for its own sake, or a non-stop stream of smash-togethers. Just lots of different music, mixed well.

Equally at home opening a packed show for the Clipse or playing to a full house dying to see MIA or Lady Sovereign at their US debuts, Nick regularly shares stages with the likes of Ghostface, Spankrock, and the Pack, and DJs back to back with club champs like Diplo & Low Budget of Hollertronix, Flosstradamus, and Kanye West's DJ A-Trak. He has been a featured guest at The Rub in Brooklyn ("Best Party To Dance Sweatily To Smart Music" - Village Voice), and helped found the beloved Superfriends bash at Milk in San Francisco ("Best Serial Party" - SF Weekly)

On the production side, Nick' s blends, remixes, and re-edits have been getting play around the globe, from college radio to commercial stations like Power 106 in Los Angeles. His tracks have been featured on compilations and vinyl including The Rubs It's The Motherfucking Remix series ("Motherfucking brilliant" - Pitchfork) and the acclaimed Clipse mixtape "We Got The Remix." He's also working on original beats and production under the 908 moniker, including official remixes for Pharoahe Monch, Dr. Octagon, Hail Social, Adam Kesher and others.
