Hobo

It should come as no surprise when you listen to the body of work that Joel Boychuk has created under his Hobo guise, that each individual output sounds so different. Hobos are wanderers - migrant work-seekers, constantly on the move. You can tell he's aware of this fact every time he steps into his studio, because speaking musically, for him the same path is never trodden twice.

With simple beginnings in between Canada and Detroit, the young star has risen in just a year from total obscurity, to performances at some of the world’s hottest clubs, along side it’s hottest DJs. Fabric in London, Amnesia in Ibiza, Tenax in Florence, and Europe’s biggest festivals are among the stops that this Hobo has made in his never ending commute.

Boychuk is always hard at work on his next idea, and yet somehow he makes time to gain extra credits wherever possible, most recently as ‘Assistant Executive Audio Producer” for the acclaimed Plastikman Live tour. When asked how he manages, he reveals his first noticeable consistency in saying: "Just never stop moving". It’s a mantra he wears proudly, and that pays off everyday.

After having his 2009 hit, ‘Symptom’ charted as one of Depeche Mode co-founder Martin Gore’s favourite tracks, to having Hugo Boss select his 'funk jam' (as Boychuk calls it) 'Howard Watson’s Jam' as one of their monthly favourites, this Hobo is most certainly earning his keep. Boychuk doesn’t plan on sitting still; so keep your eyes peeled. He may pass through any day.

Hobo and FabFilter

"I first heard of FabFilter way back when there was buzz going around, about a brand new delay plug-in called Timeless. After being shown the demo, I was sold in minutes".

"I almost can't select a favourite FabFilter plug-in because I use so many of them equally. If pressed, I might have to choose the Twin 2 synthesizer. Its filters and oscillators sound just incredible, and virtually anything can modulate anything. I think that combination alone sets you up for endless creation and sonic discovery."

"I think the main takeaway from all of the FabFilter plug-ins, however, is the quality. Or maybe I should say value. You get incredibly rich and warm sounding audio at a fraction of the cost of some of the major plug-in suites available, and you're covered across the board now, with mastering tools, effects and synthesis. It's a deadly combination that I will never stop using."
