Artist History Started as a DJ on CJSR FM 88.5 in '95 with a Sunday night show named "Subliminal Broadcast Network." It began as an experimental/noise show and transformed into a weird blend of downtempo, ambient, techno and jungle(lots of Metalheadz to be heard!) Quit the show in '97 to begin producing. Released "locomotive #433" in Spring of '98 and continued to work on tracks afterward. Returned to DJing in '99, now spinning the darkest illest beats this side of the country. I have set aside production for a while but will return as the desire dictates.

Press Reviews ------------------------------------------------------------- Chart Magazine (locomotive number 433) Edmonton's 300 baud is the brainchild of one Yuval Kordov, a.k.a. DJ uv23. Weaned on the sounds of Skinny Puppy, SPK and their peers, Kordov followed the same path as many of us other old industrial foggies, discovering the work of Autechre, Aphex Twin et al as the industrial scene began to stagnate in the early '90s. On this debut release, he draws influence in equal parts from both the old and new schools, resulting in a cold intense series of tracks veering from dark, threatening ambiance to harsh, unrelenting blasts of distorted beats. An excellent addition to Canada's growing roster of experimental techno artists who help to push electronic music to the next level. ------------------------------------------------------------- Keyboard Magazine (locomotive number 433) Rude, fresh and dangerous! Grinding distortion is a key component for artist uv23, whose post-drum'n'bass has plenty of energy and a nice sense of dramatic variety. Edgy 4/4 sound patterns get plenty of play, but they're never clean. Sometimes you can't even be sure that beats used to be drums before they were processed to death. Moments of dark ambient and even classic minimalism intrude here and there, but the nightmare never stops.
