An individual who has positioned himself at the forefront of the Canadian house music scene, Toronto-based artist Devv continues to build on his reputation as one of the scene’s most creative and prolific producers.
His 2017 Blue Dream EP is what first turned heads to his production work, receiving international attention and widespread support from many in the underground scene. Since then, he has put out a steady stream of quality releases on labels such as Blind Vision, Madtech, House on Wax, Kina Music, Monocord, Farmat and All Blak Records. With his ambition in the studio continuing to build momentum, in 2020 he released his debut album Hypercolour on Bandcamp – a 10 track release incorporating a variety of genres such as minimal house, breaks, ambient/downtempo and drum and bass. His creative drive didn’t stop there, and in 2021 we saw the launch of his own vinyl label Yuna Imprint with close friend and longtime collaborator Paul Quzz. Together, they use the platform to showcase their original productions, while also welcoming remixes by some of their favourite producers – the forthcoming third release features remixes by none other than Audio Werner and Arapu.
As a DJ, he is a seasoned selector, with the capability to take his sets whichever direction he chooses, whether warming up the floor for Rhadoo or closing it out for Josh Butler. Some of the artists he supported in 2022 alone include Chris Stussy, Djoko, East End Dubs, Sweely, Leo Pol, Janeret, Black Loops, Rossi, Cinthie, Seb Zito and DoubtingThomas. Add in some global appearances in Paris, Rome, Berlin and Playa del Carmen, it’s only a matter of time until the Toronto native takes his career to new heights.
