In just two years our young dude Philippe Aubin-Dionne (a.k.a. Hovatron) has graduated from learning industry 'ins' at the Ninjatune stockroom to being heralded as Montreals answer to the hipster jumpoff (or as we call it, the runoff.). Drawing deep musical influence from (and also chopping up / reworking) sideways boombap to southern drank music to dubstep and techno, his tripped out live sets and strong work ethic have made a bass heavy sound that is winning over fans and building a strong anticipation for his first record to be released.
Hovatron was the PA side of Mofomatronix, a versatile DJ team that ran the Bass Culture monthly at the famed Zoobizarre venue, which in turn helped break some of the best sounds in the city, and which also brought out many serious DJs and PA shows before joining forces with the Turbo Crunk team last year. Look for big things from Phil.
Mofomatronix continues as a DJ team while Hovatron works on his ever expanding PA arsenal. His new mixtape is fire. You should check it out.
