Caspian’s early releases had a harder brassic note but now he’s opting for a mellow and melodiuos tone. Over the years his music has garnered global recogntion from DJs such as Cari Lekebusch, Laurent Garnier, Derek May, John Acquaviva and Kevin Saunderson to name a few. With label support from Definitive, Secret Weapon, Tuning Spork, Conversation and one of Toronto’s most successful imprints - Thoughtless Music. His most recent EP on Batti Batti saw his first foray into deep house and evidence that Caspian sound is still fresh after 15 years.
