Le Bus

Being born in Scotland, and emigrating to Windsor, Canada has certain advantages if you are an electronic musician.

First, Windsor has the unique feature of being situated just two minutes by car across a river from Detroit, Michigan, the city where one of electronic music's most important movements began. The sounds of seminal techno music broadcast from Detroit radio stations were easily received by the radio of Paul Edwards, singer/producer of Le Bus.

Meanwhile, Paul's cousin back in Scotland was sending him a steady stream of mixtapes via airmail of the UK underground music scene.

Moving to Toronto, Paul began to release electronic music and perform live, which led to Paul opening for techno legends Orbital, invitations to festivals like Toronto's Edgefest where he mixed beats to shocked Nickleback fans, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival.

While producing electronic music, Paul also was busy playing guitar and singing in indie-rock bands. Eventually, along with collaborators Aaron Farr (Drums) and Ron Starfield (Synths), Paul began to merge these two musical spheres together.

By combining vocals and songwriting with synths, blips, and beats, Le Bus create danceable electronic songs.

"We are definitely making dance music with an electronic heart, but each track also has the soul of a simple, good song," says Edwards.

In 2008, Le Bus released their debut EP ”It’s All On” which CBC Radio 3 said “could easily be the best Dance album of the year”.

On July 9, 2009, Le Bus releases Fission Friction Frequency on Spiral Recordings.
