Photo: Scarlet Spades in 2008
"Scarlet Spades" began as a video game alias. It has since
evolved to represent a set of personal projects Nadi (Mx Spades) is
involved in. With interests spanning from yoga and meditation, to
physics and computer science, to electronic music and media, Nadi is a jack
of all "spades" and a master of none. Their principle life mission is to
cultivate self-awareness, to understand the mind, and to help themself
and others break free from its shackles.
Nadi began learning
to mix on vinyl and CDJ's in Fall 2009. They learned mostly with trance and drum & bass, and
played their first rave in Spring 2010. Since then, they have been slowly perfecting
the craft of mixing psychedelic chillout and psychedelic dub music, among other genres. With music
ranging from 60-180 BPM, Mx Spades' sets are an eclectic montage of energy
levels. Each genre
of music has its own unique benefits and challenges! Nadi began using Traktor in Summer 2011, and has grown to love it.

variety of events, some of which include:
Eclipse Festival (Quebec)
