Home // About Us // Past Events // Contact Us // Facebook Group About Us Soundproof is a Vancouver-based collective of electronic musicians and visual performance artists who are dedicated to organizing all-night parties with a friendly atmosphere in the great rave traditions of old. Over the span of 14 years, the group has produced and staged over 70 indoor and outdoor events in Metro Vancouver, the Sea to Sky corridor, the Fraser Canyon and Miyazaki, Japan. Although the roster of core members has changed over the years, the vision of creating safe and welcoming environments for the enjoyment of electronic music remains unchanged. While the Soundproof name is often used to reference the core group of artists staging parties, it more accurately refers to a small but loyal community of followers we have built over the last decade. As Soundproof has grown older, so has the average age of attendees to our events. Accordingly, since 2007 we have found ourselves holding a maximum of 3 to 4 events every year. While we all may not be as active as we once were, our community still enjoys the opportunity to occasionally participate in small scale events where attendees remain on a first-name basis. Past Monthly Residency Because of our strong following and friendly crowd base, from Aug/2008 to Jul/2010 we were asked to play every second month at the Anza Club's Open Dex night. From Sep/2010 to Jan/2012 we took over the host duties and organized the first Saturday of every month. The night followed a specific format where the first 1.5hrs was alloted for Open Dex, meaning anyone can come down and sign up for a 30min time slot. And from 11pm-2am we had Soundproof DJs and guest(s) playing. Open Dex is a great way for new DJs starting out to get some exposure playing out in front of people on a bigger system. Upcoming Bi-Monthly Residency We will be moving to the upstairs room of the Anza Club starting June 2, 2012. This will then become a bi-monthly event, happening on the first Saturday of every second month (June 2, August 4, October 6, December 1, etc). We are still ironing out the details, so stay tuned for more info to follow in the coming months.
