Working as
Deadbeat, producer, DJ, and sound sculptor Scott Monteith spent years churning out dark and dubby electronic tracks. His faint, impressionistic grooves drew on the negative space utilized in different ways by both minimal techno and dub's deconstruction of reggae vocal tracks, often to a haunting effect. When still based in Montreal (before relocating to Berlin) Monteith recorded three albums for the Scape label. Recorded and released between 2002 and 2005, albums Wild Life Documentaries, Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and New World Observer quickly went and stayed out of print as Monteith pushed forward.
LPs 2002-2005 remasters and re-releases these three albums in their entirety, revisiting
Deadbeat's chilling sounds at the earliest point of their evolution. ~ Fred Thomas
