Simon Doty

Simon Doty’s origins from deep in Canada’s Western wilderness to a college basketball shooting guard are unlikely beginnings for the development of a finely tuned electronic artist. After years mastering his sound and ascending the ranks of the underground circuit, Doty’s evolution continues. His breakthrough album ‘Universal Language’ now in the rearview; Simon is pushing further into more minimal, groove-based club music. Marquee performances at top venues including Brooklyn Mirage, The Gorge, Savaya Bali, Fabric London, and Red Rocks highlight live milestones for the Canadian talent. This sound selector and creator is a self-taught gear master ‘whiz kid’ with a profound understanding of musical composition and engineering that has earned the ear of his peers and heroes alike. With a consistent yet dynamic signature sound defined by gritty analog synthesis, minimal melodies and tough, driving grooves; formative influences like Hot Since 82 and Jamie Jones are now counted among Simon’s most ardent supporters.
