With over 30 releases on some of electronic music’s most celebrated
and innovative labels such as Bpitch, Warp, Ghostly International and
Shitkatapult and most recently Touchin' Bass as well as his own
critically acclaimed Detroit Underground Records and Kerohand records
which he does with legendary detroit producer Kelli Hand Kero (nee
Sohail Azad) has established a reputation for his unrepentantly brash,
yet cultivated compositions and unforgettable live performances, most
recently, alongside notables such as Speedy J, Ken Ishii and
Funkstorung. Furthermore, he has established himself as a leader within
the growing pack of electronic music producers successfully infiltrating
contemporary art circles world wide.
His innovative approach to music, graphic design and video production
feeds on the detritus of popular electronic culture, creating a montage
of fleeting musical and visual experiences that are paradoxically
critical and enamored with contemporary culture.
Drawing on his experiences as a dual citizen of both Canada and
the United States, Kero conducts visual and aural investigations that
are concerned with ideas of the diametric and intermediary.
Subsequently, the ephemeral nature of electronic culture, the “rave”
experience and aesthetics offers a microcosm to explore similar elements
in popular culture. The result is music that blurs genres from hip-hop
to the most rarified of techno experiments, video art which stirs faint
recollections of print and televised media, and a design language that
has ingrained itself upon the most celebrated electro-cultural market in
the world.
