RAISED ON DJS was realized when vocalist Kevin Gau and producer Sean McKay (SPM) connected on a cosmic musical journey. Together with a group of friends an inspired sound developed, endearing to the glory days of synth-based eighties new wave. Wide range of influences include Naked Eyes, Psychedelic Furs, The Eurythmics and Depeche Mode with contemporary comparisons to Stars, Postal Service, Daft Punk LCD Sound System and MGMT. Raised On DJs is based in Vancouver Canada!!
Soon beats, blips and blurbs began taking shape into incredible melodic themes with colorful stories such as…Sever and Stitch – when friends share a common goal and come together with combined passion, anything can happen. Already Forgot – perspective on life is understanding you can never have enough of it…love is all around us. Haunt Your Ghost (featuring) Alex Maillot- do past lovers ever really go away…or do the haunt you forever? Boombox – a tribute to the tireless romantic of the 80’s and in every John Hues movie ever made. The Puppeteer – observing the observer is awareness and trust in letting go of the ego and the fear it may not return. Baptized – truth is often revealed in the light of sacrifice. Nature of the Cosmos – a love story deep in the cosmos is the ultimate battle between good and evil. Factory Settings – falling in love with a robot is dangerous..sure you can reboot, but not without consequences. Where it all Began – meditate on this…we are a different person…each moment of the day.

Special guests on the project include the captivating vocals of Alex Maillot, some of the most original and fun lyrics of Jordan Lyric, the newfoundland vocals of Johanne Goodyear, Pat Dryburgh for his background vocals on Boombox, rock n’ roll bass guitar by John Donnelly, and funky bass licks by Jason Gau.
