About Rob Coles
Rob started DJing trip hop and drum and bass in the late 90s at various underground watering holes and sub-standard, probably condemned warehouses in Winnipeg’s downtown core. He fondly remembers making weekly pilgrimages to the local record shop to pick up a fresh stack of the latest 12” singles for weekend gigs. As a co-founder of Quadrafunk Radio, Winnipeg’s longest-running electronic radio-show, Rob set out on a mission to find the perfect beat —for the mind and for the feet—be it reggae, dubstep, techno, or any other bass-driven, dub-infused sounds. Rob moved to Montreal in 2009 to study art history, but like so many other ex-pats he found himself mesmerized by the city’s deep music culture, talented performers, and late-night debauchery. You’ll find Rob nodding his head in the sweet-spot of the venue (as close to the sound-guy as possible) when the bass drops.

Miami Horror with argonaut&wasp – Live at L’Astral – November 24th, 2019 – Montreal, QC

November 24, 2019 Rob Coles 0

Usually on Sunday night people recover from Saturday night and ease in the upcoming week with Netflix and Chill, football and chicken wings, or another combination which suits the mood. On Sunday November 24th, there was no chilling though, as two hot young […]

The Interrupters with Skinny Lister and Sharp Shock – Live at MTelus – November 3rd, 2019 —Montreal, QC

November 3, 2019 Rob Coles 0

I’m allergic to clichés, but the overused “meteoric rise” describing rapid success perfectly applies to The Interrupters. In recent memory, the So-Cal ska-pop five-piece has played MTelus, Club Soda (twice), and ’77. Each one, up […]

Thievery Corporation with Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe—Live at MTelus—October 17, 2019—Montreal, QC

October 17, 2019 Rob Coles 0

Opening bands normally warm up the crowd but don’t play a spectacular set that draws attention away from the headliners. It’s difficult to upstage a band like Thievery Corporation, who have had plenty of gigs […]

Ladytron with Russell Louder – Live at S.A.T. – October 4th, 2019 – Montreal, QC

October 4, 2019 Rob Coles 0

I love October. Seasons change as fall takes hold, nights grow longer, and my taste shifts to darker music and horror movies. The carefree days of festival season are replaced by indoor concerts and melancholic […]

Pop

Carly Rae Jepsen with Ralph—Live at MTelus—September 12, 2019—Montreal, QC

September 12, 2019 Rob Coles 0

Pop music sometimes has a bad reputation with music geeks. Yes, it’s fun and light and the lyrics are usually about love, but, in the words of Sheryl Crow, “if it makes you happy, it […]

Piknic Électronik with Bon Entendeur, Djrum, and More—Live at Parc Jean-Drapeau—September 2nd, 2019—Montreal, QC

September 2, 2019 Rob Coles 0

It was a gloomy start to Labour Day. With the last day of the long weekend—the unofficial end of summer—and a dreary, rain-soaked day ahead, there wasn’t enough coffee in the world to get me […]

Piknic Électronik 2019 with Octave One and More – Live at Parc Jean-Drapeau – August 25th, 2019 – Montreal, QC

August 25, 2019 Rob Coles 0

This was easily one of my best days this summer. Two of Montreal ‘s electronic music institutions, Piknic Électronik and Mutek, joined forces again for their annual techno smorgasbord at Parc Jean-Drapeau, serving up some […]

IleSoniq 2019—Live at Parc Jean-Drapeau—August 9-10, 2019—Montreal, QC

August 10, 2019 Rob Coles 0

IleSoniq returned to Île Ste Hélène on August 9th and 10th for two days of beats, bros, torrential rain and dramatic thunderstorms. Yes, the weather didn’t cooperate on opening day, and there were long music […]

Miss May I and the Word Alive with Thousand Below and Afterlife – Live at Foufounes Electriques – July 17th, 2019 – Montreal, QC

July 17, 2019 Rob Coles 0

I’ve checked out plenty of concerts for Bucketlist, but I can only count on one hand the number of heavy metal gigs I’ve reviewed. So, on a rare night I attend a metal show, you […]

Voivod with René Lussier and Robbie Kuster—Live at Club Soda—June 30th, 2016—Montreal, QC

June 30, 2019 Rob Coles 0

The Montreal Jazz Festival is known for straying off jazz music’s beaten path with an eclectic mix of music genres. However, this was the first time I’ve heard thrash at the annual event. Yes, for […]
