Growing up in Windsor, Canada meant Marc Houle always had a close association with the Detroit sounds of the 90s. Now in a new century, it's the man himself who is a leading light of the modern scene thanks to his quality techno work for Richie Hawtin's Minus. Known for both a high quality and quantity of tracks, a love of authentic, old school sounds and of new wave and analog synths, you can now add Items & Things - the imprint he runs alongside Magda and Troy Pierce - to Marc Houle's long list.
