Hands down, Québec City's don of dreamlike, lo-fi moods and instrumental grooves is Pascal Asselin, best known as Millimetrik. Besides his duties as drummer for stoner rock outfit Les Indiens and multisensory collaborations with other hometown musicians, Asselin's chief solo undertaking since 2000 finds him malting and mashing delectable musical brews filtered through layers of melancholic hip-hop, sparkling IDM and tempo-thwarted ambient. Save for it's stunning cinematic moods and chunky basslines, the ADISQ-nominated Millimetrik project is always evolving in both sound and approach.
