History
Greene began creating electronic music when a high school history teacher introduced him to Aphex Twin, precipitating a realization that "music doesn't have to be angry white men over a guitar." [7] Greene and his friends would throw club parties called Turbo Crunk. [8] From 2008 to 2011, Turbo Crunk's key players were Hadji Baraka, Ango, Seb Diamond, Lunice, and Greene. [8]
In 2011, Greene released the single "Another Girl," which Pitchfork included in its list of "The 200 Best Tracks of the Decade So Far (2010-2014)". [9] The magazine wrote that while this "decade has seen no shortage of dance songs that pluck vocals from R&B and warp them into unfamiliar shapes[,] 'Another Girl' emerged just before reworked deep Brandy cuts dominated SoundCloud dashboards, and it still moves with a distinctly human gait." [9]
He has collaborated with Canadian designer Rad Hourani. [10]
Vase Records
Greene is co-owner of Vase Records [2] [11] alongside former manager, Joe Coghill. Vase was established in 2011 and has released music by Greene, Koreless, Ango, [11] Zodiac, [11] Arclight, [11] Samoyed and Gorgeous Children. [12]
As well as musicians, Vase has signed two Montreal fashion designers. [2]
In 2013 Greene / Vase Records curated a collaborative audio/visual event along with artists Trusst in The Tanks at Tate Modern in London, at which Greene performed. [11]
