Vitamins For You
Few stories take 10 years to tell and this one is just beginning...
Garnering world-wide attention through the release of his two award winning albums ‘I’m sorry for ever and for always” (2003) and “The Legend of Bird’s Hill” (2006), as well as highly sought after limited EP (2004), Kushnier’s vitaminsforyou toured the world alongside similarly forward-thinking artists playing shows and making festival appearances throughout North & South America and Europe. With taste-making publications from USA to Germany and from Japan back to Canada such as the Wire, De:bug, Stylus, XLR8R, Grooves, Afterhours, and Spin all singing his praises, he was rewarded in the spring of 2007 with the prestigious Song of the Year Qwartz Pro/Art Electronic Music Award for The Legend of Bird’s Hill’s standout single, The Ukranians.
While it has been less than three years since his last full-length vitaminsforyou album, Kushnier has nevertheless been very busy in the studio and on the road with other artists. His recent credits include work with Constellation records’ Do Make Say Think & Lullabye Arkestra; Mitchell Akiyama’s Désormais and Avia Gardner projects; production for Montreal’s Hexes and Ohs, Emm Gryner, Fritz Helder and The Phantoms and collaborations with Mike Feuerstack (Wooden Stars, Belle Orchestre, Kepler & Snailhouse), Belgians aMute and appearing on the GRAMMY NOMINATED (2009) album by Mexico’s biggest electronic export The Nortec Collective; as well as original music for television, film, commercials and contemporary dance.
Having spent a good deal of his time this past year spinning records in clubs around the world, remixing other artists and breaking in his new live band to enthusiastic party hungry crowds, vitaminsforyou’s highly anticipated third full-length release he closed his eyes... so he could dance with you promises to expand on his recent dance floor interests while continuing with his dynamic and melodic trademark touches.
