They play highly improvised music focusing on jazzbient, trip-hop, breaks, drum and bass, trance, house, and previously unnamed and undiscovered flavors of electronic music. Usually dance-oriented and always experimental, Inject have packed dance floors and totally freaked out the jaded "I've seen it all" music fans around Vancouver, Nelson and the Sunshine Coast.
The energy from Inject's live performances has electrified and mesmerized Vancouver audiences for the last 3 years in such venues as the Purple Onion (monthly residency), Shine, the Sugar Refinery, DV8, the Side Door, Café Deux Soleils, the VFS Web Café, Robert's Creek Hall, the Progression Mixed Media Gallery, and on CITR Radio.
Amrit Basi is a completely self-taught drummer. His love for the instrument began at an early age but was dormant up until his teens, when he finally got behind the instrument already knowing the various stages of limb-independence required to play drums. Hip-hop and it's rhythms were the catalyst that would launch Amrit into a whirlwind journey of drum set exploration. At 31, he has now evolved to a state where he has formed an instrumental improvisational trio focusing on the live organic execution of electronic music and all of its sub-genres and beyond. Inject allows him, along with his fellow instigators, to explore their instruments live, fusing the improv mentality of jazz with the groove-orientation of electronica. His constant hunger for knowledge and intense personal feeling to express his soul on the drums is his fuel that feeds the fire, resulting in boundary-pushing music.
Jamie Lubiner was born in Montreal, Quebec, in 1974. Jamie got his first taste of performing when in 1983, he played the vocal line for 'Eye of the Tiger' on his mini-organ for a sold-out crowd at his elementary school talent show. Jamie gave up music studies until 1985 when his Mom bought him his first acoustic guitar for $50. When he discovered Led Zeppelin and the Who in the summer of 1989, his whole world changed. Over the next 8 years he would write some sappy love songs, jam with friends, perform at coffee h
