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.
