RESTORE was the solo debut from Windsors Marc Houle of Run Stop Restore. His new eleven track double-pack dives into a dark deep corner of melodic minimal grooved-up techno. Undoubtedly fueled by the golden age of synthesizers, Houle is captured by early 80s synth pop and the underground-turned-anthem classics of Acid House. Theres also no doubt that the early years of minimal techno had their share of influence as well (Clock Width is a subtle tribute to Dan Bell) inspiring his own model of rhythm and resonance.

Houle was the pushing force behind Run Stop Restore (which, with Magda and Troy PIerce became a trio) and has a ferociously productive studio. Located first in Windsor, and now Berlin, he is working on new music on a daily basis. 2004 rekindled Run Stop Restore from its early beginning on the Detroit label Throw, by releasing the Geometry EP in the spring on Minus and contributing to the Telegraph Post Office 2 collection. Receiving widespread appreciation with DJs from all walks, the stripped down minimal slap of RSR was back in action.

RESTORE assembles tracks that he had been testing in clubs on both sides of the Atlantic during summer 2003, secretly exposed by select DJ agents traveling through Europe and the Americas. A few tracks on the record feature the vocals of New Yorks Gibby Miller (Lit).
