SNAILRIDER: aka Morris Kode (Kali Smith) found his passion for electronic music one late night back in 96. Two years later he bought his first pair of 1200’s and started working on his craft. Going by the name kaliflower he mastered the art of house / breaks and dabbling in idm/glitch, jungle, triphop and downtemp. He started mixing and producing a minimal glitchy techno in 2004 and created a groove to call his own. Using minimal techno as a back drop, he drops and manipulates sounds, samples and glitches, while creating a groovy funk with a snailish bass heavy rhythm for the crowd to enjoy. Kali has played a number of parties and clubs from Victoria to Montreal, while successfully holding down club nights in Whistler and Vancouver. He has played alongside great artist like Sammy Dee, Alexander Robotnik, Detroit Grand Pubahs, Kool Keith, Safety Scissors, Pan Pot, Exercise One, Funkstorung, Lexancuplt, The Mole of Soul, Lowfish, Solvent, Hrdvision, Konrad Black and many more.
On the production side of things, Kali has teamed up with an old friend colin muir to form a group called Rec-room Mechanics. Colin Muir loves his analog synth sounds and acid bass line while Kali craves a little glitch and a lot of bass, they’ve created a snaileddown glitchy acid techno to keep you wanting more.
