Aram Scaram (Guest Mix)

الوصف

Aram Scaram began his DJ journey in Toronto’s late-90s underground, spinning at house parties and one-off club events before landing weekly residencies at the beloved lounges Ciao Eddie and Alto Basso. It was at Ciao Eddie where he met Sassa’le, founder of the influential Version Xcursion radio show on CKLN 88.1 FM — a connection that would shape the next chapter of his career. Scaram soon joined Version Xcursion as co-host and co-producer, helping transform the show into a staple of Toronto’s music landscape. Their weekly broadcasts championed dub, downtempo, trip-hop, reggae, and emerging Canadian talent, establishing the program as a go-to platform for genre-bending sounds. Over the years, Scaram has brought his signature style to major stages, including the Du Maurier Jazz Festival, the first Virgin Festival on the Toronto Islands (2006), and an opening slot for Massive Attack at The Carlu. He also founded Dub & Beyond, a hugely popular monthly club night at Andy Poolhall, broadcast live-to-air on CKLN 88.1 FM. Running for seven and a half years, it became a cornerstone of the city’s dub and bass culture. His international appearances include performing at the Shatter The Hotel release event in London and playing the legendary Dub Chamber party at OT301 in Amsterdam. As a producer with Version Xcursion, Scaram released two full-length albums and three singles, including the cult classic Moments featuring Treson — widely regarded by tastemakers as one of Canada’s standout tracks of the early 2000s. In 2010, he launched his solo project Citizen Sound, releasing a full-length album that featured the award-winning single Reggae Is Her Name with Blessed, which earned the Canadian Reggae Music Award for Best Male Single. A second Citizen Sound album followed in 2014, along with numerous singles and EPs. Throughout his production career, he has collaborated with many of Canada’s premier reggae and dub artists, including Ammoye, Blessed, Chester Miller, Treson, Dubmatix, and Prince Blanco.
