Music = a passion, addiction, and magnificent obsession for this West Coast Canadian...

Rok Sivante has had a life-long involvement in music - from growing up playing piano & singing in choirs, to excelling with guitar, songwriting, recording, and performing with both a jazz & rock band in his teens, to performing his first DMC competition at 17 - only three months after being drawn into the world of turntablism (and shortly after, production)...

Entranced by the art of sound alchemy,
his approach to the craft of mixing records goes far beyond simply playing songs into the realm of creating a dynamic listening experience...
Both blessed & cursed with a non-stop compulsion of digging for the highest calibre of head-bobbin', foot-tapping tracks, he builds upon a natural skill for weaving seamless sonic blends from an array of diverse elements - taking audiences on an expansive, emotionally-rich journey through countless shades of tonal textures & musical environments...

Having successfully transitioned from a bedroom DJ born & raised in Edmonton, Alberta to playing professionally for 6 years under-the-radar in Vancouver with residencies @ Skybar, Balthazar, Cactus Club, Urban Well, The Pit Pub, among private events, movie industry wrap-ups, various one-offs, and house parties...

he's grown through stages in spinning hip hop and drum & bass, to top 40 & club bangers, to a full spectrum of R&B, soul, funk, afrobeat, latin, reggae, breaks, jazz, rock -refocusing & refining his sound to suit the most exquisite of upscale venues - spinning an alluring combination of deep, funky, soulful, jazzy, tech, and tribal house, chillout, and hip world beats,
while still able to throw down with style & ease in a variety of environments...

Custom-tailoring a unique sound to entertain & energize any crowd,
he's equally at home setting a seductive ambiance at a high-end lounge
as rocking out a set of bangers in the club - venturing into a mashup of progressive, electro, funky breaks, fidget, disco, top 40 remixes, and booty-shakin' classics...

A multi-dimensional character with
a deep interest & background of study in
consciousness, philosophy, psychology, eastern wisdom, metaphysics, and business, a passion for transformational development, and talent for the written word as well as music - Rok brings a unique, insightful perspective and radiant conscious energy to his mixes & sets, setting a warm, powerful, sexy, full vibe and infusing his colorful soundscapes with a distinct, soulful feel...

With over a decade of DJ experience,
an impeccable taste for quality music,
the uncanny ability to flow masterfully between genres, and a razor-sharp intuitive capacity for reading a crowd & guiding the energy of a room -
a high standard of excellence is guaranteed to be reflected as he is constantly innovating through multi-layered mixes in both his recorded DJ productions & real-time 4-deck performances...

After having lived in Banff, Vancouver, Phuket Thailand, Phoenix - he is currently residing on Vancouver Island,
having played memorable sets @ Glo, The Office, Sunset Room, & Studio 4,
with a permanent relocation to Bali ahead in 2012...
