Blending the sounds and sensibilities of First Nations powwows with the blaring syncopated rhythmic patterns of dubstep, Canadian DJ collective A Tribe Called Red create a new context through which we can celebrate and experience contemporary indigenous cultures. "All we really did was match up dance music with dance music," founding member Ian Campeau (DJ NDN) told Al Jazeera back in 2013. Campeau has since left the group, but that revelation—though simple—is key in understanding ATCR's approach to music. The collective is currently made up of Bear Witness (Cayuga First Nation) and 2oolman (Mohawk, of the Six Nations of the Grand River). by Jas Keimig
