Musical artist

Leandre Bérubé Bergeron bka Tristam[1] is a Canadian electronic music producer. Tristam is well known for his releases of Extended plays (EPs) and singles on the Canadian-based electronic music record label Monstercat.

Bergeron was born in St. Isidore, Alberta, Canada. Prior to Tristam, he began his musical career in a trio, with his brother Gabriel, called Ménage à trois.[1]

In 2012, Tristam released his single “Truth” along with a music video that “follows a woman’s wanderings through celestial doors into dreamy desert landscapes”.[2]

In February 2013, Tristam collaborated with Braken to release “Flight“. It was described as a having a “pulsing beat and an epic chorus” that “blends soaring soundscapes with uplifting lyrics” with the overall message “encouraging listeners to take flight and never stop pursuing their passions”. It was the most viewed song on Monstercat’s YouTube channel (over 77 million views as of January 2026) until Alone (Marshmello song) surpassed it in May 2016.[3] In May 2013, Tristam collaborated with Pegboard Nerds on their single “Razor Sharp” which had “a nice progressive melody driven buildup”, “an extra fierce bass induced drop”, and “then contrasts between brutal and melodic as the songs finishes out.”[4]

In 2014, Tristam collaborated with Braken, for the second time, to release “Frame Of Mind“. The track was considered, by Dancing Astronaut, to be one of the most notable Drum and bass tracks in the genre of the 2010s, and was remarked for “the ease with which the vocals melt into the sublime instrumentals”. It’s currently the third most viewed video on Monstercat’s YouTube channel (over 72 million views as of January 2026)[5] Tristam released “My Friend” that was remarked for having “enchanting vocals over a brilliant melody and… bass”.[6] This drumstep track begins with “beautifully haunting” introduction and the transition from the buildup to the drop went from having “air-light vocals” into “an emotional whirlwind of mesmerizing chord progressions.[7]

In 2015, Tristam collaborated with Karma Fields to release “Build The Cities (Empire Of Sound)”. It was remarked as a “the perfect culmination of production prowess and vaulting creativity”.[8]

In 2016, Tristam released a song called “Bone Dry” which was remarked for having “emotional vocals paint[ing] a melodic soundscape”. The song was featured on Rocket League x Monstercat Vol. 1: a compilation album commissioned by both Rocket League and Monstercat.[9]

Rounding off the list of classics is Tristam & Bracken’s legendary collaboration “Frame of Mind.” The duo had previously released some eye-catching music, but nothing of the magnitude of this particular single. The track became an instant hit after its initial 2013 release and continues to be a staple in most Drum ‘n’ Bass live sets and playlists. The reason for this unprecedented success is the ease with which the vocals melt into the sublime instrumentals, which strikes the perfect balance between low frequency drive and mid-range finesse. “Frame of Mind” is quite possibly the most popular DnB track of all time, ensuring its status as a classic.{{cite news}}: CS1 maint: url-status (link)

It would be impossible to give this entire album a listen without falling in love with one of Monstercat’s favorite tunes. This track is the perfect culmination of production prowess and vaulting creativity. Having heard this track on its original debut, I am dazzled once again upon hearing it on this feature album. As meaningful as it is anthemic, as minimal as it is complex, Tristam and Karma Fields couldn’t have asked for anything more when the muse touched them with this inspiration.
