The Montreal songwriter on breaking up with the industry, choosing process over product, and building a creative life on her own terms.
Fresh off stints producing for the likes of Sabrina Claudio, Nicki Minaj, and Drake, GOVI’s debut album blends chopped up vocal samples, euphoric synths, and infectious breakbeats.
The Ajax, Ontario-based producer draws from his obsession with science fiction in crafting a sequence that plays like a charged up love affair between man and machine. Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, and Oneohtrix Point Never are references too obvious to define what GOVI’s forward-oriented electronics encapsulate over the 45-minute runtime. Do they rave in the TRON universe? If so, we are quite certain GOVI is the headliner every night.
