WHAT ARE YOU COOKING??
MTL Sauce Piquante is a tropical punk rock label from Montreal, a village dressed up as a city. The music was born during a summer of late-night parties where, after their regular gigs and festival appearances, the best musicians in town would come hang out in Oonga's living room, jamming and recording until the sun came up. Luckily the neighbours were on vacation.
Our vision is inspired by late night kitchen party sing-alongs, les BBQ de chez nous, loud music dans l'parc, and the joyful songs shared by happy people enjoying each other's company. We want everyone to feel welcome at our table, that’s why we sing in so many languages!
Since our beginning in 2023, we have music by rapper Chellz, cumbia band Less Toches, ska-punk band Kon-Fusion, rapper Mighty Sampson, and the Sauce Piquante Soundsystem.
ALBUMS AND MORE
SUNSHOWERS
Mighty SAMPSON
Sunshowers is an adventure into the reflectious infectious mind of KC aka Mighty Sampson and a showcase of his astonishing versatility. Begun in 2018, recording in 3 of Oonga’s apartments and interrupted by 2 years trapped in Trinidad with nothing to do during the pandemic, these tracks speak of KC's experiences of love and heartbreak, frustration and alienation, happiness, nostalgia and of course, partying!
UN GUARO à LAFONTAINE
LESS TOCHES
Less Toches began over one special summer, as the band members found each other as if by magic. This EP containts 4 tracks of accordion-driven cumbia punctuated by call and response gang vocals and relentless percussion, just the way abuela likes it. These are some of the Less Toches' first compositions, created during that first magical summer of jamming and partying in the streets and parks of Montreal.
ME ENCANTA
CHELLZ
Chellz is an MC of Salvadorian descent who grew up in the multicultural St Michel neighbourhood of Montreal. His artistic work is mostly in Spanish: conscious and powerful lyrics with freestyle skills soaked in the black and brown urban immigrant culture. On this EP he teams up with Oonga for 4 songs of love and death, lust and freedom, combining rap, reggaeton, dembow, and punk rock.
