Biography

Since 1996 Canadian Phillipe Babin, better known as DJ Preach to
hundreds of thousands of fans around the world, has been
spreading the message of electronic dance music to the masses –
and they’ve been lapping it up. 

  Born and raised in Quebec, Preach became interested in DJing
from a young age and cut his teeth in his home city and in
Montreal, honing his sound and skills at clubs like Sona and
Aria before releasing early production work on Relentless,
Ascend and Edit Recordings. Soon the grand masters began to pay him attention – Tiesto, Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren and Marco V were all early fans of the Preach
sound, which began to filter out on major imprints such as Intec,
MB Electroniks, Session and Iturnem. The world beckoned and in
2005, Preach made the permanent move to the musical hotbed of
the Czech Republic in Eastern Europe.

  Since then Preach has created and evolved his own labels, Relic Recording and sub-label Relic
Silver with co-owner Marco G, winning him critical acclaim. His own work has been released on
international powerhouse labels Black Hole, Intec, Flashover, Magik Muzik, InCharge and Spinnin.
His remix of Tiesto’s Carpe Noctrum featured on the Dutchman’s smash 2008 album, ‘Elements of
Life Remixed’. His techno-trance fuelled remix of Marcus Schossow and Thomas Saagstad’s
‘Hypnotizer’ has been doing the business on all major download stores and September sees Preach’s
massive new original work ‘Joomla’ get its much-hyped release on Ferry Corsten’s label Flashover
Recordings.

  Out of the studio and with a packed diary, Preach criss-crosses the globe, taking in countries
and continents where he preaches his sound – Creamfields, Dance Valley, Goodgreef, Gigadance,
Flower Fest and Most Festival are just a selection of the festivals to fall under his spell in 2008 alone.
Pushing the boundaries of trance and techno, bringing in electro and beats, Preach is already knocking
on the door of the upper echelons of the DJ hall of fame.

  To top things off, Preach not only continues his dominance of the airwaves through his Transatlantic
show on DI.FM and Danceradio.gr, but now broadens his empire with the addition of massive the Sirius
Satellite network in American and Europe’s London Sounds show on PRL24. Extending his reach by
well over a million listeners a week, this marks a new era in his career.
