Ramachandra Borcar
I got to wondering what Montreal's DJ Ram (aka Ramasutra) is up to lately. His official Web site has disappeared recently (ramasutra.com) but I was glad to find out that he hasn't.
Recently he did the soundtrack for the architecture documentary "Regular or Super - Views on Mies van der Rohe" by Joseph Hillen and Patrick Demers.
The soundtrack is released as Ramachandra Borcar (his real name) and titled "Steel Glass". He will even be playing a live jazz concert on July 9 at the Spectrum, unfortunately a few weeks too early for me to catch it during our summer visit...
Well anyway, this CD goes straight to my list of stuff to buy.
I wonder if Ram is still DJing anywhere regularly? Back in 2000 he was a regular at Jingxi, and also played the Jazz festival together with Fantastic Plastic Machine. What a great show that was!
By the way, I'm in great need of tips on recent good Montreal artists/releases/regular parties, so any info would be greatly appreciated! (Boris? :) Anyone?)
Update (15:24): Oh, and also the soundtrack for "Camping sauvage"!

I didn't know you came back here for visits. You guys can't realistically come by every summer, so I would definitely enjoy meeting with you this summer if you have a free evening somewhere in your schedule. That'd be great. How long has it been? And for how many years have you been in Japan now?

Thanks!! I didn't know about all that new stuff! I'll be looking forward to his upcoming album that seems to be nearing completion. I'll also definitley pick up that Call Me Poupée album.
