His real name is Serge Collin. He comes from Montreal. And he is, alongside Rod Modell, the best dub techno artist since Basic Channel left the style they created to drift on Reggae territory.
His releases combines dub techno in its purest form (delayed crispy synths with pumping kicks, swirling basslines and a slice of metallic claps and synthetic hihats on top) with amazing dronish ambient soundscapes (sometimes coupled with catchy beats) that just are SUPERB.
And by superb I mean you HAVE to take a listen to those tracks because, in my opinion, thats where he really kicks ass. Not that the dub techno tracks arent good, dont get me wrong, they are absolutely awesome, but his soundscapes are just mindblowingly good, close to Gas for the atmospheres and Thomas Köner for the drones.
I look forward to see an ambient album from him which will hopefully come soon.
An artist not to miss. His records are great, and they will sure be recognized as true classics as the time goes by.
