Babe Rainbow is the moniker of Canadian musician and record producer Cameron Reed. Reed has released two records as Babe Rainbow on the UK-based Warp Records, "Shaved EP" in 2010 and "Endless Path EP" in 2011.[1] Mixing the genres of ambient, hip-hop, and experimental noise, Babe Rainbow creates "overcast, suffocating sonic landscapes"[2] that's been described as "like living in a haunted house".[3]

In addition to providing official remixes for artists such as Grimes, Midnight Juggernauts, and Jokers of the Scene, Reed is known to produce hip hop beats for up-and-coming rappers[4] and regularly release free EPs of demos and works-in-progress.[5]

In 2012, Reed joined the backing band for critically acclaimed indie R&B artist How To Dress Well.[6]

Reed has been active in the Canadian music industry since the early-2000s as the Festival Director of Vancouver-based indie culture festival Music Waste.[7]
