"The revolution starts with you."

Anyone wanting an explanation for The Konspiracy Group would be best directed to look at the above quote from late, lamented Vancouver agit-punks, Che Chapter 127, as it encompasses in but a few brief words what this multi-tiered organization is all about.

The Konspiracy itself is the simple idea that art (in our case music, writing, and design) can be an agent for change — that electronic music, despite its sometimes faceless nature, can be used as a vehicle to shake not only the hips but the head as well. It takes all kinds to make the towers fall and we vibrate the bits that other folks can’t reach in our attempt to bring em’ down.

Originally founded in 2000 by James Graham as an artist booking agency, The Konspiracy Group has grown to become much more than that.  As a music and media group, we provide the torch to light the way through a landscape darkened by a constant stream of cultural bullshit.

As booking agents, we represent some of the finest in the electronic dance music arena. Front-runners and boundary pushers in their respective genres, they lead the way forward with some of the most unique sounds out there. Running from pirate radio stations to night clubs and back into the hallowed halls of art festivals, we pay heed to no hierarchy but that of the bass, the beat and the drone.

The roster of artists that are booked under the Konspiracy banner have played across Europe and North America with DJs and live acts as wide ranging as Faust and Shortee, Kode 9, DJ Spooky, Akufen, Booka Shade, Richard Devine, Sutekh, Safety Scissors, Klute, Shimon, Not Breathing, Joey Beltram, Loscil, DJ Rap, Ed Rush and Optical, Pieter K, Dean DeCosta, Venetian Snares, DJ Storm, DJ Lee, Phil Western, The Orb and Pete Lawrence and T. Power to name only a few. 

As consultants, the Konspiracy Group draws from a staff that has spent the last ten years working for the likes of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and National Public Radio. DJs, producers, journalists, label owners and radio hosts; we’ve done our time promoting the music that we believe in on every conceivable level. We’ve thrown the parties, interviewed the great and the small and been everywhere from the grimey warehouse to the back of a truck in the middle of an anti-war rally.

This isn’t a sudden idea that came to us so we could make a buck. This is the continuation of something that we’ve always done. The only difference is that this time, we’re taking our actions up a notch and using what we know to help you.


Watch the skies and your bassbins. We have arrived.
