Locally he has been a part of one of the most memorable weekly events, Narcosis Thursdays at the former incarnation of Buddha Bar. In addition he has held residencies in Gatineau at Palladium after hours, Fusion Fridays and has played at memorable venue?s such as Surface, MTL, Rouge, Traffik, Sundaze and can currently be found at Euphoria After-hours in Gatineau, which he helped found and launch.

Chris has been tirelessly at work building an organization of promoters, DJ?s and like minded people into the Onethousandone Collective. a group of people who work together to promote and advertise their events to the local scene to ensure that not only can we nurture what is already there but build on that for the benefit of the next generation of scene leaders.YAN LAROUCHEYan was introduced to electronic music in 2003, where he first fell in love with the energy and the people in the EDM culture. DJ Mushin was the one who showed him everything he needed to know to play music as a DJ. Since then he's been spending most of his free time in the studio, producing and mixing non-stop, in progressive house and techno. His main influences are Steve Lawler, John Digweed, Eurphun and Bleda Diaz.

In 2008, he started his own event organizing company "4Play Productions" and was one of the main sponsors @ Ottawa Electronic Music Festival and Electronic Paradise 2.
