"Quel noctambule ne connaît pas DJ Frigid..."
Marie-Christine Blais - La Presse
 

"Frigid is a rock and roll dandy who understands the art of spectacle, the impact of dangerous images and dark sub-stance, the erotic charge of fashion and the seductive power of persona."  
Lucinda Catchlove - Nightlife

Pioneering Montreal’s electropunk scene, FRIGID launches his underground DJ career in 1998 with his mind-bending blend of electroclash, indie rock, ’80s new wave, and grunge. His unique signature sound quickly catches fire—earning him widespread media coverage, packed dance floors, and a defining role in shaping the city’s alternative nightlife.

Between 2001 and 2003, his infamous Thursday-night residency, Overdose at Parking Nightclub, draws over 800 revelers weekly, becoming one of the most talked-about club nights in the city. When management begins sidelining him and taking creative control, FRIGID makes a bold move—he jumps ship, launching “KINK!” at rival venue Unity II and kicking things off with an explosive set by Ladytron’s Mira Aroyo in October 2003. A new weekly Thursday night era is born.

In 2004, Quebec’s leading electronic distributor, Fusion III, approaches FRIGID to curate a compilation—recognizing his exquisite taste in underground electronic music. He seizes the moment to spotlight Montreal’s electrified new wave of talent, debuting his first two original singles: “Machine !” (a fierce collaboration with Belgian new-wave icon Plastic Bertrand) and “Bedroom Session,” which later becomes the title track of his debut album. KINK!, the compilation, drops in June 2004 to glowing reviews from top local critics.

That same summer, FRIGID takes his sound global—touring Paris, Barcelona, and Lisbon as part of the Montreal Electronic Groove (MEG) festival circuit.
