Simon Doty’s evolution continues.

His breakthrough album ‘Universal Language’ now squarely in the rearview; Simon is turning back to his roots and pushing further into groove-based club music with his own imprint Recess.

Marquee performances at electronic music’s top venues including Brooklyn Mirage, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Gorge Amphitheatre, Savaya Bali and Fabric London highlight a year of live milestones for the Canadian talent.

This sound selector and creator is a self-taught gear master ‘whiz kid’ whose engineering has earned the ear of his peers and heroes alike. With a signature sound defined by gritty textures and tough, driving grooves; formative influences like Hot Since 82 and Jamie Jones are now counted among Simon’s most ardent supporters. Industry icons Pete Tong and Danny Howard have taken notice, with regular first plays and support on their BBC Radio 1 programs.

Simon approaches music with the same quiet confidence as basketball; letting his music (or his jumpshot) speak for itself.
