Simon Doty’s origins from Canada’s Western wilderness to a college basketball shooting guard may seem like an unlikely path for the emergence of a finely tuned electronic artist. A self-taught gear master ‘whiz kid’ with a profound understanding of musical composition and engineering, Simon has earned the ear of his peers and heroes alike.
After years mastering his sound and ascending the ranks of the underground circuit, Doty’s breakthrough year is unfolding with his debut LP ‘Universal Language’ on Anjunadeep, supported by a world tour featuring over 60 dates. Marquee performances at electronic music’s top venues including Brooklyn Mirage, The Gorge Amphitheatre, Savaya Bali, Fabric London, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre highlight a year of live milestones for the Canadian talent.
Characterized by gritty analog synthesis, evocative melodies, and powerful driving grooves; his signature sound has earned Simon a bonafide spot among the industry’s most respected producers. An increasingly coveted remixer and engineer, Doty continues to showcase an elite command of his craft and a steadfast pursuit of progress. Industry icons Pete Tong and Danny Howard have taken notice, with regular first plays and support on their BBC Radio 1 programs.
Simon approaches music with the same quiet confidence as basketball; letting his music (or his jumpshot) speak for itself.
