Human Kebab

Human Kebab, AKA Jason Parsons, still believes in the power of the party. Human Kebab is an artist but also an energy: it’s a late night, dimly lit dance party wherever you hear his music, whether it’s a festival tent, a club, or a kitchen. It’s infectious and fun and joyous, full of the curiosity, earnest spirit, and excitement that remind us how beautiful life can be when there’s a soundtrack to it. Parsons has been a Swiss Army knife songwriter and producer for decades. As one half of kinetic Canadian alt-rock sensation Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker (USS), Parsons applied his musical instincts, turntable skills, and boundless lust for life to turn USS into one of the country’s most beloved acts. With the end of USS in June 2022, Parsons has returned to his first love, his favourite stomping grounds: DJing and remixing as Human Kebab, colliding pop, alt-rock, hip hop, house, techno, drum and bass, and more into a deadly good time. “I’ve been a DJ for 20 years now,” says Parsons, “and my first true love was performing at parties for people, spinning music of the day, the vibe of the room, feeling the energy of how everybody’s moving, being an emcee.”
