a.k.a. SUBLIMINAL
Subliminal a.k.a. Sean Maxim Mauricette is a jack of all trades. Part beat-boxer, DJ, lyricist and producer, this is the deadly combination that makes up aka Subliminal’s style. Known for his versatility, aka Subliminal is renowned by many, ranging from various sound-crews, fans and industry players alike.

Entering into Hip-Hop at the ripe age of 6, by the age of 12, aka Subliminal began to experiment with his tape and record players in an effort to create mix tapes that he enjoyed. As this experiment progressed he became overwhelmed by the music and the new sounds he could create. When the beats he was using weren’t enough, he began to create new sounds with his voice, thus creating the first inkling of aka Subliminal. At this time he began to enter talent shows around the Metro Toronto Area, and was winner of many shows in the DJ, beat-boxing and freestyle fields. It was at this point that he decided to take his skills and use them for public performances.

In 1998 aka Subliminal toured Canada and Western Europe as well as performed the 1999 Much Music Video Awards and opened for such recording artists as Mos Def, D12, Arrested Development and Jagged Edge to name a few. aka Subliminal brings passion and new flavor to the shows. Before the performance begins, he whips the crowd into a frenzy with his tight mixes and incredible energy. During the shows he drops amazing voice-overs, imitations of popular artists, beat-boxing and turntable tricks that always leaves the crowd in awe.

Currently a member of ACTRA aka Subliminal also has his eyes on acting. Working along side actors such as Kevin Bacon and Howie Mandel, aka Subliminal has also recently finished his first feature film called the Phantom Punch directed by Robert Towsend, starring Ving Rhames.

As of December 1999, aka Subliminal has produced, directed and performed numerous radio commercials along with television commercials for Sony Music Canada, Sprite, McDonalds and Kellog’s Pop-tarts. Known to some as an interpretive sound artist, aka Subliminal is also responsible for producing the theme music for CBC radios daily show, Here and Now.

But where the river flows, it must divide. When he isn’t working on his debut album or performing, you will find aka Subliminal working along side other architects in their Toronto based offices. A graduate from the University of Toronto’s faculty or Architecture, Aka Subliminal is the first ever recipient of the Arts and Culture award presented to him from the Black Students Association of the University of Toronto. Currently a member of youth programs such as B.L.O.C.K. Heads, Boys to Men and the P.U.L.L. Project, aka Subliminal knows that youth need encouragement to follow the right path and not be deterred by the negative stereotypes and images perpetuated by society. aka Subliminal was recently presented with a Certificate of Appreciation on behalf of the Councilors Association of Ontario for all his work with the grade school, middle school and high school students. Whether lecturing or mentoring underprivileged teens aka Subliminal actively plays the role.

From designing new beats and scratches to shows and skyscrapers, aka Subliminal constantly reinvents formulas for success and is currently working on his debut album entitled TrainaThought.

Truth be told, there are two main entities in the world of digital deejaying which are leading the pack. They are Serato ScratchLive/Itch and Ableton Live. The former seems to be a favourite of deejays looking for a digital representation of traditional spinning. Ableton is championed by new school producers who realize that they can use it to "spin" music in a club as well. Well, what if a product came along where neither group had to compromise? A singular product where the producer could play his/her Ableton based compositions live using a traditional two turntable and mixer set-up BUT the traditional deejay could use the power of Ableton to do mixtapes, live remixes and mash-ups in a fashion that they are familiar with? Well that product is here now and it's called The Bridge. It's a collaboration between Ableton and Serato and I predict it will be the future of digital deejaying. Read more about it here:

What can I say? I'm big on electronic drums. While there is nothing like the sound of a properly tuned acoustic set in the hands of a master drummer, I think electronic drums have their place as well. They are great for hobbyist who do not want to spend thousands on gear or pro drummers
who'd like a lighter rig for those weddings gigs or an 808 cowbell near at hand during a live stage performance.
Fortunately for both groups, Roland has brought us a reincarnation of their famed Octopad in the form of their new Octopad SPD-30. It's got a great sequencer, fresh sounds and can even be used on its own as a compact digital drum set. And yes, I can clearly see the purchase of one in
my future:

BIO
Sean began his deejay career in the early 90's while attending York University in Toronto. It was not long before his well attended campus parties began attracting the attention of local club promoters. This led to Sean's legendary residencies at the then world-renowned Industry, Power Bar and Berlin nightclubs. Having shared the 1's and 2's opening for such respected deejays as Jam Master Jay, Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Rich Medina and Funk Master Flex to name a few, Sean's skill at manipulating the crowd with his turntable techniques and programming prowess could never be questioned.

It is these very skills that got Sean's ground breaking Wreck Shop Radio program on air at Buffalo's WBLK 93.7 and Toronto's FLOW 93.5 and Energy 108. After half a decade of on-air radio programming and over a decade of club playing, Sean took a break to raise his son and spend time with his new family but deciding to return to the music spotlight once again in 2002.

Tired of the repetitive nature of commercial radio and always looking forward, Sean saw the future of bringing quality, soulful music to the masses and set his sights upon the Internet. That said he can now be heard on Solar Radio, one of the world’s premier soul music stations and the World Wide Web’s premier soul music site. Sean has been hosting the show since 2004 and shows no signs of stopping. Every Friday from 9 to 11pm Eastern Standard Time, you can tune in and hear for yourself why the name Sean Sax remains legendary in both the Canadian and international Black Music scenes.
