Three sets from the Pisces Party at Open Studios covering over four hour of music. Although we had some recording glitches, a power issue during K-Tel's set that cut the recording short and a few Serato slippage moments in my set due to drinks being spilled on my plates. We salvaged what we could and here it is for your ears.

I met Pete Grove at a copy store ten years ago. Back then he was a label owner and live pa innovator under the name Sunkissed. I've seen him play some sick live sets at Deepen and owned a number of his vinyl back in the day. Now he's back on the west coast with new releases on Noah Pred's Thoughtless Music label and some wicked good taste in tech house. He recently put together a mix for Saunasessions.ca Check it out it's deep and chunky.

artist info
-----------

Pete Grove's production style stretches minimalist musical elements into quirky, complex orchestrations - an organic fusion that embraces all forms of music - a cross breed of contexts.

Previously known as Sunkissed, Pete became known as one of several pioneers of Canada's live PA scene throughout the nineties. With an innovative hardware-based dual sequencer setup, Sunkissed was recognized as one of the first PA acts to utilize midi fader box control as the centerpiece of his live interface, a technique which logically became an evolutionary step in live PA and digital DJ setups. The twin sequencer, fader control interface remains the vehicle for Grove's updated touchscreen-computer live and DJ rig, allowing complete control, layering and full manipulation of any piece of music in a set. Though unlike many single computer Ableton Live rigs, this innovative dual Ableton setup allows for completely improvised set lists and still requires the classic technique of manual beatmatching to sync or to allow offsetting the rhythms for each mix.

In 1998, Pete Grove started Woodwork Recordings, contributing to an emerging hybrid style that broadly became known as tech house. Woodwork's crossover dancefloor tracks were well received in North America and in Europe. After his first few vinyl outings on Definitive Records and Woodwork Recordings, Sunkissed travelled abroad to play european festivals such as Austria's Steirischer Herbst and Peace Parade. After shutting down his label and taking a 7-year hiatus to pursue other musical genres and personal projects, a return to the familiar realm of tech house was inspired by his strong appreciation for the depth and versatility Noah Pred's emerging Thoughtless Music label. Upon completing his newest tech house projects, Pete immediately contacted Noah Pred, motivated to contribute to the Thoughtless catalogue.

Pete Grove's previous releases and remixes have appeared on Definitive Recordings, Guardian Angel, Woodwork Recordings, Sunkissed Records, Spiritual Records, Nordic Trax, Future Groove, Plastic city, Shoreline Records, and in film productions released by the National Film Board of Canada.
