Loopsy Dazy Mikey Dorje Montréal Based out of Montreal, Colorado born, Kyoto raised Loopsy Dazy is a live electronic-acoustic hybrid act lead by Mikey Dorje. Analog beats, synth and acoustic guitar performed by Dorje are core to the Loopsy Dazy setup, while being accompanied by an evolving roster of vocalists and musicians equipped with live drums, violin and bass; Brad Weber, drummer for Caribou being a frequent collaborator. Without the assistance of any pre recorded samples, loops or bed tracks Dorje conducts his ensemble through an Ableton live rig allowing him to live loop, twist, chop and hyper-modulate the entire performance. Inspired by the sonic qualities of everything from ambient and glitch sounds to rock music, shoegaze and beyond, Loopsy Dazy brings its own unique take on the organic electronic genre by infusing techno, lo-fi house and breakbeat. With his improvisational live rig, Dorje is able to conduct a dynamic performance that allows him to gauge the right vibe for the environment: from a more laid back lounge atmosphere to a sweaty pulsing dancefloor. Originating in 2011 Loopsy Dazy established itself as a staple in Toronto’s underground electronic community favoured by promoters like “Architextures” and “Box of Kittens” before relocating to Montreal in 2018. Live accomplishments to date include performances at Nova Scotia’s Evolve Festival; Ontario’s Harvest Festival; an east coast Canadian tour with Pick A Piper and frequent performances in New York City. On the recording side, he has released two live singles; a 2019 LP titled “Estuary”; an official remix of “The Ghost in You” by Grammy-nominated electronic music legend BT; composing the original soundtrack for the documentary titled “When The Iron Bird Flies” and an official remix for a 2014 Juno Awards (Canadian Grammy’s) video presentation by FACTOR/Starmaker. Prior to the pandemic, Loopsy Dazy was scheduled to play Mexico City in 2020. As the world begins to return to normal, Dorje plans to continue establishing Loopsy Dazy’s presence throughout the North American electronic scene while adopting whatever cutting edge music technologies that will fit into his refined live performance toolbox.
