Marc Houle: The Interview



(PHOTO: Yonathan Baraki)

Marc Houle is a techno producer maverick from Windsor, Ontario. Canada who shares the same birthplace as Richie Hawtin, one of electronic music’s prime legends and most innovative producers of our time. With Canada and Detroit being nearing neighbors, the new sound of Detroit’s techno became an influencing factor especially for Marc.

Coupled as well with Marc’s love for first generation video games, Chicago House and New Wave, there is no doubt those elements can be heard in some of his music from what I’ve listened to prior to this very interview.

Being a former signee to the MINUS label, he along with friends Magda and Troy started the offshoot Item and Things which was a sub for MINUS until they broke away in order for them to direct it towards their interests.

Another reassuring thing about Mr. Houle is that he didn’t start off (like so many) as a DJ and currently keeps to that credo preferring to let his music speak!

A new single with him and Miss Kittin is currying our favor on that blasted Itunes thing and so we got to talk to Marc Houle on all things music and Items…other way around.
