Pretence discusses his journey from Australia to Canada, which led to him producing ‘Dragon’
Right before I took the leap and left Australia, I filmed a DJ set called Pretence Presents: Exile as a way to give Canada a preview of what to expect when they see me live. In the set, I played an unreleased track that led to Rezz, the very artist who inspired me to start making music, following me on Instagram. I sent Rezz some demos and ‘Dragon’ was signed to one of my dream labels, HypnoVizion.”

Pretence has emerged from Sydney’s underground rave scene, and at just 27 years old, he is establishing himself as an innovative force in the industry.
