“Toronto based ELECTRO-FI Records has carved
out a reputation for itself as one of the few remaining practitioners
of Genuine Blues recordings. A sort of Chess Records of the Great White
North. The names of those who have come through the recording studios
of Electro-Fi Records reads as a Who’s Who of the Blues, and
Electro-Fi captures many of these artists at the top of their game.”

Electro-Fi Records was founded in 1996
by Blues aficionado
ANDREW GALLOWAY with a great deal of
help from both his long time friend and high school Garage band mate GARY
COLLVER and sonic guru extraordinaire
ALEC FRASER. The label’s first
signing was Chicago harp master MALCOLM “Little Mack” SIMMONS and Electro-Fi’s first
release in January of 1997 was “Little Mack is Back” (EFI-3355).
With over 50 original releases in our first ten years of
operation, we remain dedicated to preserving and promoting the Blues
music that we love so dearly.
