Ana+one

Ana+one (pronounced Anatone) is Montreal based dj/producer Jesse Morrison.

Born and raised in Hamilton, Ontario; Jesse spent his early years ingesting the steel bits and chemical air of the industrial city he called home. An unwitting consumption perhaps but one that clearly laid claim for the making of an electronic music man of high energy, mind dazzling, blue collar variety.

After a Plastikman record awakening and a few raves, his eyes were opened to electronic music. He sold his bass guitar and amp. Bought a pair of decks and a mixer. Developed a healthy obsession for record collecting. And began djing out.

By early 2000?s he was on time, catching the wave of minimal/micro house goodness that carried the likes of fellow Ontarians Mike Shannon and Jeff Milligan to Montreal. Thus began Ana+one’s career as a dj, playing various clubs/lounges and loft parties in Montreal.

The years that followed are marked by Ana+one’s shift in focus from dj to producer. He moved to Toronto where he directed his energy exclusively to building his studio skills and to putting together a collection of tracks for release. The result; half dozen remixes for NYC’s “Cotopaxi”, his first ep “relocated minds”, a signing with Siteholder records for second ep “la voix amicale” and a vinyl release of “box of donuts” within the first year. Clear that production was his game, he continued in studio resulting in a number of releases including a rmx for Tom Ellis’s “French for clouds” album.

It was in Toronto, that Ana+one came to connect with the hushlamb crew and teamed up with Alicia Hush to form the live duo Yes Ma’am. Now, in Montreal, Ana+one has once again begun to make his presence known. Resurfacing as both a promising and established dj/producer, he is introducing his unique sound to a largely new breed of music lovers.

With several projects on the go, count on upcoming productions of peak Ana+one precision and feel.
