DOVe

Was a Canadian label, incorporated in 1990 by Toronto broadcaster and mixologist Gerald Belanger. Was closed in 1996. Belanger now works as a producer with Nice+Smooth and is a member of a few local sound crews including Kinder Atom and Lazer Caps. The acronym DOVe always stood for DEATH OF VINYL eNTERTAINMENT. This was not meant to be a negative view of records. In fact, it's main purpose was to raise awareness to the fact that vinyl was being phased out of existence by every major label at the time. These days vinyl seems pretty safe with dance culture taking over every part of the planet. Nearly all the releases featured the unmistakable graphic design work of Digital Poodle and Kinder Atom member Heiki Sillaste. A name variation as often written on release is "DOV".
