Jokers of the Scene, composed of Linus Booth (also known as DJ Booth), and Chris Macintyre (also known as Chameleonic), are a Canadian Techno/Electronic production and DJ duo.

History

Booth and Macintyre formed Jokers of the Scene in Ottawa, Ontario in 2003 as loft party disc jockeys;[1] they played their own recorded tracks and remixes, as well as hosting other local rappers.[2]

Jokers of the Scene evolved into a full-time partnership after signing a recording deal with Fool's Gold Records in 2007. They later moved to Toronto, where Spinner Magazine reported on their party organizing and remixing, noting their "early '90s techno-influenced DJing style."[3]

In 2009 the pair's track "Change Up" appeared on the BeatPort chart.[4]

In 2011, Britain's NME Magazine voted their remix of Salem's "Asia" #19 on their "50 Best Remixes Ever" list.[5] In 2012 the pair released an EP, J0T5, which included tracks in a variety of styles.[6] Their 2014 album, End Schene, was a change from their earlier heavy electro music to a more experimental sound.[7]
