Vinny, formerly know and Dj Clown, is a pioneer of the Montreal techno scene. Djing since the early 2000's, Vinny has played at some of the largets events in the city and collaborated with many renown labels such as Hadshot, ZENON and Boshke Beats.

In 2023, Vinny decided to rebrand his name from Clown to Vinny, as he focuses more on techno / psytechno and may continue to use "clown" for more psytrance sets.

Today Vinny is A&R Manager for Horns and Hoofs Entertainment and a label DJ for both Boshke Beats and H&H.

Vinny was also the founder of JESTER RECORDS which featured some massive Psy-Techno names such as Spirallianz, Triac, Three Point Turn and more.
