Jeff Miligan aka Algorithm In 1986, at the age of fourteen, Jeff Milligan (aka :Algorithm) gained his first exposure to electronic music in his hometown of rural Ontario Canada. His close proximity to the Great Lakes Triangle ; Toronto, Chicago and Detroit, led Jeff to develop a foremost influence in the early American years of house and techno. Jeff would tune in college radio programs, programs that featured the first North American broadcasts of house music. Jeff would travel to Toronto every weekend to buy the UK and US imports that he had heard on the radio, a week or two prior. Jeff soon became obsessed with vinyl and the studio processes that create electronic music. Every day on his lunch hour during high school, Jeff would go to a local recording studio in Alliston, Ontario, splicing analog tape, setting up microphones and doing other odd jobs around the studio. The studio would lend Jeff equipment as payment and soon, he had built his own sound system. At the age of 16, Jeff began attending Toronto's various warehouse parties, and to 23 Hop alongside a small handful. He felt an itch to throw his own events so Jeff and J. Haynes (a friend from high school) began throwing local events north of the city, to promote the music they loved. Their shows were met with astounding success. Jeff soon had a pair of Technics 1200's (instead of belt driven decks and cd players), an Akai sampler, and a reel to reel that he would perform with. Before Jeff was eighteen, he had become an integral force of underground music in Canada, before he was even legally allowed to be in a bar. Jeff soon began taking road trips to Detroit (Toronto's closest neighbour), to buy records and attend shows. Jeff was obsessed with the early Detroit and Chicago sound and realized that he was a very slim minority back at home in Toronto. From traveling and thus learning the relativity of the electronic movement between the Great Lakes, proved to Jeff that a unique and distinct Northwest American music culture was certainly evolving on it's own, devoid of British, Commonwealth influence. The music Jeff was playing had a dual European and American influence, the more experimental, more minimal sound of the two continents. He began bridging the gap in Toronto. By the age of twenty, Jeff was playing the Detroit, Chicago circuit and nationwide, all over Canada, making brief moves to Vancouver to help spread his sound westward. Jeff furthered his involvment in the growth of electronic music culture by becoming a key player in Toronto's early promotion crews : hosting artists like Jeff Mills, Eddie Foulkes, Juan Atkins, and more. These early companies inevitably became the first large scale electronic music promotion companies in Toronto. The British Acid House scene combined with the ethnic roots of North American House and Techno, and suddenly a distinct hybrid electronic movement existed in Canada. Toronto's early party scene soon eclipsed attendance of 5000 people every other weekend, with Jeff headlining alongside almost every prolific producer to have graced the electronic music stage in the past decade. Alongside Richie Hawtin, Jeff defined the generation of minimal house and techno in Canada. As Hawtin's profile grew, the techno and minimal movements were soon gaining foot, the future was to soon prove that the new movement was inevitably going to separate from the full scale electronic music movement. Just like everywhere else in the world, the larger electronic music movement grew corrupt and subcultural splits began to occur. DJ's : Mike Shannon, Adam Marshall, Jeremy Caulfield, Bliss, Richie Hawtin, Murat and Jeff all abandoned the larger movement by 1994, and teamed up with two companies that were dedicated to their specific genre. Solidarity was formed between Detroit, Chicago and Toronto. An autonomous, minimal house and techno subculture was born. Attendance at events featuring artists such as : Plastikman, Speedy J., Suburban, Knight, Adam Marshall, Derrick Carter , Algorithm and Troll (a live outfit by Chris Rozek and Jeff : featured 3 decks, 808, 909, 303 and various effects), suddenly eclipsed the attendances of other large scale events in the city. Jeff soon teamed up with Himadri (Teste : the Wipe) of Switch Records Detroit/Toronto) and began throwing intimate scale events and some of the earliest production work by Jeff and Troll is featured on Switch. Jeff's DJ production work for +8, and loops on the first Serotonin Records (NYC) , lockgroove compilations, were among the first released material under the "algorithm" moniker. By the late nineties in Toronto, "techno" got redifined as a harder and more abrasive sound; the Swedish invasion began, and the definition of techno changed into a harder sound, abandoning it's Detroit roots and adopting a more British, mainstream appeal, that was ironically, now more Detroit influenced. The softspoken minimal house and techno movements were dwarved by the bigger abrasive genre of techno. Soon, the core promoters of minimal house and techno abandoned the genre to move on to different projects. Commercial booking agents bought up all the venue space and publicity. Within a few months, all of the minimal techno and house artist/s in Canada faded into obscurity with the exception of Hawtin who was very well established in Europe and America. By 1997, the Toronto movement was effectively dead. The core Toronto crew disappeared into the studio, odd jobs, school and simply persued other disciplines. Jeff went to school to finish his education in audio engineering and acoustics and put his artistic career on the backburner for a while. Jeff still continued to work together with J. Haynes over the years and went on to form "Tone Media" in 1998. Tone media was formed in order to help facilitate the growth of an online electronic community of likeminded producers around the world. Tone Media's mailing lists : "techno.ca" (dedicated techno culture in the midwest Americas and Canada) : "technowest.ca" (dedicated west coast techno culture) and "movable-parts.ca" (dedicated to music gear and software discussions) have since gained list membership over 1000 strong per list, with subscriptions all over the world. Over the past few years, these lists provided a conduit to assist the development of a relationship between Canadian producers and DJ's and their contemporaries around the world : SF and West Coast, Detroit and Midwest USA : NYC and East Coast USA. DJ's and producers all across North America, began a dialog with one another. The local Toronto producers began establishing relationships with the rest of the world, although the local movement was dead. After a few years of public obscurity, Adam Marshall, Lotus, Mike Shannon, Altitude and Jeff, resurfaced again with a slew of imprints : Adam Marshall's "Killer", Jeremy Caulfield's"Dumb Unit", Mike Shannon's "Cynosure" and Jeff's own label "Revolver" (with former label mate, Robin Roy). Revolver 0001 was initially met with high critical acclaim worldwide, and led to a seminal relationship developing with Köln, Germany's Kompakt. In 1999, Mike Shannon and Jeff joined forces and embarked on their first major European Tours. The comprehensive tour brought them to Gemany, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Czech Republic and Slovakia. The tour was met with remarkable success due to Jeff and Mike's unprecedented technical skill/s and soon, Jeff's modern contemporaries were soon inviting him back to Europe. Over the years, the Revolver Imprint released Swiss artist, Shaka, and Canadian work by artists including Montreal's Akufen and Deadbeat, Toronto's Tomas Jirku and Pan/tone, and Kitchener's, Jay Hunsberger. Recently, Mike Shannon and Jeff made the decision to move to Montreal to work more closely with their Francophone affiliations, helping open the lines of communication between the two distinct cultures. Ironically, Montreal developed similarily to Toronto. The two cities are very close geographically, but tension between Anglophone and Francophone Canada ; fundamental and philosophical differences between the two cultures, led to little, if any, cultural exchange between the two provinces until recently. Mike and Jeff have since become integral to the development of electronic music in Canada and Quebec and are deeply involved with Montreal's "Mutek" and "FCMM" Festivals. These annual festivals, curated by Montreal's Alain Mongeau, have provided some of the most integral developments of worldwide electronic culture exchange and have led to a very unique relationship developing particularily, between Germany, France, America and Canada. In the past few years Jeff has spanned the globe, DJ'ing some of the worlds finest venues, often spending more time across the pond than at home. Jeff's most recent work "Composure" is to be released in February 2002, featuring Jeff's recomposed work of some of the world's most prolific artists including : Farben (Klang Elektronik), Matmos (Bjork), Kid 606 (Tigerbeat), Sutekh (Context), Twerk (Force Inc.), Safety Scissors (Proptronix) and Donacha Costello.
