over the last year i have traveled to canada frequently for gigs and got to know the small but healthy electronic music scene there. cities like montreal, vancouver and toronto have brought forth many established artists over the past few years, such as egyptrixx, azari & iii, basic soul unit, jacques greene, lunice and sixtoo, but 2012 has seen a new breed of no-nonsense house and techno producers come up via labels like turbo recordings and naked lunch. this *dovercourt ep* features three very talented producers: kevin mcphee, nautiluss and gingy. their tracks are a dedication to their hometown of toronto. being removed from the house/techno epicentres of berlin and london, these three are much less interested in what is fashionable or trendy, and more in bringing us straight to the point, no frails jacking house music. i have been playing these three extensively in my dj sets, and i hope you will too. so out to toronto, this one is for you! enjoy. martyn

over the course of a year, keith fullerton whitman performed a piece of live electronic music a few dozen times entitled >generator<. the debut was given in san francisco at root stratas on land festival at cafe du nord on september 19th, 2009 … over the months that followed stagings took place in venues ranging from flooded basements to festival stages in baltimore, boston, brooklyn, chicago, easthampton, iowa city, jamaica plain, northampton, raleigh, saint louis, san francisco, somerville, & washington d.c.
