Greg Gow's deep, groovy techno sound has
evolved progressively since his days of playing
house music in the early nineties. As a resident
on York University's CHRY 105.5 FM station in
Toronto, Greg played alongside much respected
house Djs Nick Holder and Mitch Winthrop.
While Greg Gow had established himself as a
high-profile Dj in the Toronto house music circuit,
his sound was rapidly evolving. Influenced by
the sounds emerging from Detroit and Germany, by 1996 Greg had traded his
smooth house sound for the dark atmospheric grooves of techno music.
In 1997 the rave scene was exploding across Toronto, and it quickly became the
ideal environment for Greg to display his hard rhythmic tones and technical brilliance.
Yet it was a fresh up-start techno production company, called Phryl,
where Greg's stature of one of the top techno Dj‚s in Canada was solidified.
Playing packed ware-houses alongside international superstars such as Cari
Lekebusch, Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Gaetano Parisio, Derrick May, Stacey Pullen
and James Ruskin. His sets for Phryl parties were regarded as brilliant and often
overshadowed the top-billed acts he was playing with. Greg was now a major
player in the dance music scene in Toronto,and while the scene was shifting from
the warehouses to the more intimate club settings, Greg remained a staple in an
ever-changing culture.
The now booming club scene became Greg Gow's new adopted home, moving
the crowd in the same manner, and seeing him sharing bills alongside such
dance music luminaries as Derrick Carter, Aril Brikha, Rolando and Richie
Hawtin. While not one to stick to one format of the dance music culture. Greg has
also become an accomplished and respected techno producer, releasing tracks
on Seismic Detroit, Default, Zen, 2Wars and the legendary German techno label
Tresor. Garnering spins from techno heavyweights DJ Rush, Umek, and Mateo
Murphy. Greg is also the owner/operator of two international labels Restructured
and Kombustion. Both labels feature his own music plus different leading artists
from around the world, and have been spotted in the crates of many globe trotting
dj’s like Steve Rachmad and Ben Sims. For more information visit
