Canada’s hottest new musical export, Art Department, make their UK debut at Blow, and what a coup for this fledgling party. With endorsements from the likes of Clive Henry, Damian Lazarus and the rest of the Crosstown Rebel crew plus an exciting release schedule including collaborations with Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Soul Clap, there is no doubt that this will be yet another inspired chapter in the story of these Canadian talents.
Art Department are two of the most forward thinking, relevant underground producers of the North America circuit, the brainchild of Canadian techno/house legend, Kenny Glasgow and Canada's fastest rising star and No.19 label owner - Jonny White.
Kenny's credentials date back to the late 80's and include productions on Narcotic, Jinxx, his own Method 11/11 label and Turbo. Whilst White's revered No.19 Music label alongside a blindingly fast growing discography have seen him rapidly rise to the forefront of the international scene.
The pair, despite being close friends and stalwarts in the Toronto electronic music scene for years, had not joined forces in the studio until 2009, when Damian Lazarus called on them to remix Riz MC for his prestigious Crosstown Rebels Label. The result was an entirely new sound that drew cues from the best of both artists. It was a futuristic and raw, synth-driven, underground masterpiece, the start of a new idea and the birth of Art Department.
Their debut album has now been slated for release on Crosstown Rebels in 2011 and tracks like 'Without You' are causing ripples of excitement in the underground. Art Department: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mPxneEBiZk
