IBREAKBEATS: In 1999 Bliss cofounded Montreal's first breaks weekly The Grill (Blizzarts Thursdays), a night that ran for close to 5 years making it the longest running breaks weekly in the citys history.

Artists such as Krafty Kuts, Atomic Hooligan and Scissorkicks as well as some of the biggest Canadian breaks djs at the time such as D-Monic and Czech and paved the way for other upcoming local djs such as the Broken Crew.

Yeah, yeah – he’s the “hardest working DJ in Montreal”: I know, I see him walking up the Main, heading back home after his sets almost every other night I go out. While I would tend to concur, that’s unquestionably not the sole reason to appreciate Bliss.
