SACHA FOSTER: OTTAWA'S MIXING MAESTRO

YOU SEE HIS NAME EVERYWHERE. ON EVERY POSTER BESIDE THE HEADLINER OF ALMOST EVERY BIG EVENT IN THE CITY. IT’S NOW A STANDARD TO SEE THE PRINTED SIX LETTERS “F-O-S-T-E-R” ASSISTING WITH THE DJING DUTIES IN OTTAWA’S LARGEST CLUBS. HE HAS SHARED THE STAGE WITH SOME OF THE INDUSTRY’S BIGGEST WEAPONS INCLUDING KAYTRANADA, HUCCI, FALCONS, RYAN HEMSWORTH, JUST BLAZE AND LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON. HIS STYLE IS DIVERSE BY MIXING ANYTHING THAT GETS THE BAR BOUNCING.

TO HIM IT’S NATURAL, HE FEELS THE ENERGY OF THE CROWD AND PLAYS NOT ONLY WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR BUT WHAT THEY NEED TO HEAR. REMARKABLY MODEST BUT NEVER SHY WHEN THE SPOTLIGHTS ON HIM HE’LL RAISE THE INTENSITY OF THE VENUE CALMLY AND SMOOTHLY. HE LIVES FOR THE ANTICIPATION OF THE CROWD FASCINATED BY HOW HE MIXED TWO SEPARATE GENRES TOGETHER WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT. EFFORTLESSLY RAW ON THE MIC, HIS CONTROL OF THE CLUB WITH VOCAL SHOUTOUTS AND UNIQUE DIRECTION KEEPS EVERYONE FOCUSED AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINED.

SMALLWORLD MET UP WITH THE TWO DECK MAESTRO AND ASKED HIM HOW HE STARTED LIVING THE EXCITING LIFE HE DOES AND HIS OPINION OF THE SCENE HE SEEMINGLY DOMINATES EVERY WEEKEND.
