Description

Origin of Spin (Adam Parwez) is a Pakistani/Canadian beatmaker who produces a mix of 90's Boom Bap, Trip-Hop, Downtempo, Jazz and Electronica. Raised in the analog era of turntables, drum machines and samplers, he navigates through technology in the digital age searching for sounds which invoke emotion, passion and impact the listener in a profound way.

Origin of Spin was raised in Saskatchewan and moved to Vancouver, BC in 2012 where he graduated from Pacific Audio-Visual Institute. He spent 6 years in Vancouver with the Chapel Sound collective, playing a weekly DJ residency at OPUS Hotel in downtown Vancouver and opened for acts such as The Internet, People Under the Stairs, Zion I, DJ Q-Bert, MYKA 9 & Factor Chandelier, Def3 and Dam-Funk. He also played and performed at festivals such as Quadrapalooza (2014-Quadra Island, BC) & Chapel Sound Festival (2016-Vancouver, BC).

Rapping as “Adam Peace” for Saskatchewan based Hip-Hop band, People of the Sun, and a part of the 11 Hooks art collective, he actively engages in collaborations with local artists, networking, and supports shows and projects within the local scene. Has hosted his own series of Hip-Hop events at The Mercury Café, seeking out local talent, performed & DJ’d at the Cathedral Village Arts Festivals, and created a bi-weekly DJ night at Bodega in Regina, SK.

  New album - To Hell With These Demons by Origin of Spin & Bizzness

  June 11, 2025

  STREAM ALBUM : https://originofspin.fanlink.tv/tohellwiththesedemons

  Origin of Spin has released a new collaborative concept album with Bizzness entitled "To Hell With These Demons".
   
  The theme of the entire concept album is how both artists are overcoming the struggles of addiction, deaths of loved ones, mental health issues, and unhealed trauma. 

  Bizzness raps with quick, decisive flows; a mastermind with the pen reflecting about his life. Meanwhile, Spin provides the perfect backdrop for his story with solid sound selections, molding specific elements of the instrumentals to his ideas and delivery.

  The single from the album "Hold On" features hauntingly beautiful backup vocals by Ava Wild, and the title track features a verse from Adam Peace. The album was mastered by Orion at SoulSound Studio.

  This project was done entirely online. The artists have never met in person, but they were both going through similar struggles when they connected through Sask Underground Hip-Hop groups and started creating. The art they made together felt like they were speaking for one another, musically and lyrically. The resulting product is a personal and vulnerable, yet proud body of music.

  "Our intention with these tracks is to connect with, heal, and help others going through similar struggles. You are not alone."

  Being an artist dealing with any of these issues is extremely difficult, and expressing themselves through music is how these two artists were able to heal, and finally say "To Hell With These Demons".
