Bron  Ontario, Canada

Deep grooves from cold climes? That nicely sums up Bron (Bryan Wells).

Weaned on a diet of hip hop from masters like Pete Rock and Kut Master Kurt through his teens, Wells truly fell under the spell of club music after catching house legend Danny Tenaglia perform one of his legendary marathon sets in 1999. Bron’s been DJing ever since, producing for the last six, and remains committed to exploring the quirky underbelly of the electronic underworld. Hailing from Edmonton, Alberta, Wells is a fan favourite in Canada’s West, and isn't stopping there.

He’s been in good company, DJing together regularly with fellow Edmontonian Dane “Gretzky” MacDonald. Whether it’s faith in their respective programming choices or in the crowd being assured of a great party,They've become synonymous with good times and great music. These qualities are also at the heart of Danksoul Recordings, the label owned by Wells, MacDonald and Inkwell’s Ryan Trann. Inkwell’s “Kneesocks,” Danksoul’s inaugural release, has received excellent reviews since its release in late 2009/early 2010. Bron’s upcoming debut, “Great White North,” should likewise perk up ears, turn heads and warm hearts when it’s released on vinyl and MP3 on April 12,2010.

Look for Bron and Danksoul in your neck of the Great White North this summer.
