Deep, tech, glitch and ambient are all apt descriptors for the work of Le Cantin, who doesn’t shy from unorthodox sonic merges. Originally from Jonquière (Quebec), Patrice Cantin, aka Le Cantin, moved to Montreal to deepen his musical research using a wide variety of instruments before eventually settling on self-produced electronic music. He says he’s looking to create a unique sound for himself, relying on no particular formula or game plan – which explains why he’s content to journey from one electro subgenre to another, randomly picking up on all kinds of processes. The result: profound, richly detailed pieces that can propel listeners onto the dance floor or induce headphone hypnosis, as the case may be.
LE Cantin is an active member of Montreal label Archipel (founded by Pheek in 2005) having released two albums on the imprint. He’s also worked with overseas labels including One-Bit-Wonder (Germany), Subtropical (Sweden) and Pinksilver (Australia).
