Phoniq is a collective of individuals dedicated to promoting bleeding edge electronic art with an emphasis on exposing aural and visual talent that has not yet been exposed to the electronic arts communities of Canada. We aim to showcase upstart music producers, djs, record labels and emerging visual artists all working in electronic realms. Our primary goal is to showcase off-the-wall and raw genres of music an visual electronic arts - not just those that are in vogue or will be shortly.

The concept for Phoniq came together through the meeting of two active members of the Montreal/Canadian electronic music and digital arts community, DJ Cyan of CKUT radio, and club techno producer Naw. Phoniq has grown out of the combined histories of these two individuals. Naw brings the Clonk legacy that he created six years ago in Toronto, which hosted such artists as Monolake, Kit Clayton and Sutekh. Cyan brings her ongoing involvement in community radio, event co-ordinating, and dj talents.
