Electro-Fi Records is an award-winning independent record label founded in 1996, based in Toronto, Canada, which specializes in the release of blues records.

History

Electro-Fi Records was founded in 1996 by Andrew Galloway, with assistance from Gary Collver and Alec Fraser.[1] Galloway started the label shortly before turning forty, following a career in corporate communications.[2] Collver's background was in photography and media.[3] Fraser, a bassist and vocalist, was a professional musician and record producer.[4]

Since its formation, the label has released over fifty albums of original blues material.[1] It has specialized in releases which pair experienced U.S. blues musicians, such as Willie "Big Eyes" Smith and Curley Bridges, with Canadian musicians.[5] The 2009 Electro-Fi release of Ramblin' Son, by Julian Fauth, won the Juno Award for Blues Album of the Year, as did the 2004 Electro-Fi release of Painkiller, by Morgan Davis. Galloway and Fraser co-produced Ramblin' Son with Fauth, with the album also mixed and co-engineered by Fraser.[6] In addition, Fraser, who co-produced the Painkiller album with Davis, won the 2004 Maple Blues Award for Producer of The Year. An earlier release by Electro-Fi, Blues Weather, by Fathead, won the 1999 Juno Award for Blues Album of The Year. A 2001 Electro-Fi Release by Mel Brown and The Homewreckers, Neck Bones & Caviar, being Brown's debut record on the label, won the W.C. Handy Award for Comeback Album of The Year. The album was co-produced by Galloway and mixed by Fraser.[7][8]
