Vancouver. Good news. BRAIN BATH returns for its third session on September 5th with our dear friend Kelbey Saruk performing live, the return of Softer Drink’s complimentary tea service, and Pilgrims Of The Mind’s first live performance in Vancouver since 2001.
Pilgrims of the Mind is the moniker of Stephane Novak, a seminal figure in the history of Canada’s West Coast underground. Emerging from the fertile 90s warehouse culture of Vancouver, Stephane’s work has been celebrated for its meticulously crafted fusion of psychedelic house, ambient, and proto-trance.
While Stephane has remained a dedicated devotee to the craft for decades, his catalog has recently enjoyed a major resurgence among a new generation of selectors and audiophiles. This revival was sparked by the acclaimed 2023 reissue of his 1997 masterpiece, What’s Your Shrine?, by London-based label Heels & Souls, alongside key EP reissues on the Greek imprint Echovolt. These releases have garnered praise from publications like Mixmag and Test Pressing, reintroducing his “explosive” and “mind-expanding” productions to dance floors worldwide.
As always, the BRAIN BATH DJs will be priming the floor before, between, and after and making sure the energy stays intact and intentional. We’re pulling out all the stops for this one and can’t wait to wind down the summer with you all in fine style.
$20 early bird tickets are available on Resident Advisor now.
