Tony Haze
If you haven’t heard of Tony Haze aka ZOO, you have definitely felt his influence. Founding the now infamous Massive Productions in 1996, his team organized many firsts at the time, bringing legendary events with top headliners to the Atlantic Canada region. Haze developed an early love for techno in the late 80’s while working on 4 channel mod-based music sequencing, eventually introducing him to Detroit techno. Influenced by Pirate radio stations and mix tapes from the UK and MIDWEST led Haze into a 3 year residency in the mid 90’s at DAL’s CKDU as a radio host, showcasing underground house and techno. His radio experience transformed into DJing at various raves and loft parties by the mid 90’s. As the 2000’s arrived, there was a gradual move into club nights and residencies. Haze held many long term spots at The Attic, Tribeca, Reflections, Mozaic and Bitter End.
Over the past 27 years of djing, he has opened for an impressive and diverse list of world class talent such as Tiesto, Derrick Carter, DJ Dan, Bad Boy Bill, Tiga, Chris Liebing, Christian Smith, Richie Hawtin, John Acquaviva, Greenskeepers, Chromeo, Miss Honey Dijon, Juan Atkins, Misstress Barbara and many more.
Haze strives to provide a musical journey that tells a story with a seamless mixing with drama and tension as the main ingredients. His love of classic house and techno fuels his playlists. He is excited to be part of this festival.
