BLVD NOIR

Bubbling up from Calgary’s underground party scene in 2013, BLVD NOIR originally came together as a popular club night at Habitat Living Sound (RIP) that fused dancefloor ready house, techno, acid, and breakbeat into a kaleidoscopic live experience complete with live sax and congas. 

After the success of the club night, large-scale events, and festival appearances, BLVD NOIR began self-recording and producing tracks. Each release (Ombres (2018); Mes Amis (2019); Santé (2023); and Vague~Wave (2025)) has taken them a step further in with their genre-bending approach, incorporating elements of house, techno, trip hop, dub, psychedelia, ambient, and experimental. Their sound incorporates unique arrangements, utilizing instruments like the Iranian setar, recorder, child’s piano, tablas, saxophones, guitars, synthesizers, and plenty of other instruments.
