Dow (house) and Utensil (techno) were started by Claude Young and David Whiteside. (I've often wondered if DOW are David Whiteside's initials). Whiteside was the ENDOW release that came out last summer on DOW. Most other stuff before that was from Walt Jones. Anyway, in a VERY strange coincidence, guess what shirt I'm wearing as I type this? A Utensil Records T-shirt. Weird, eh? It gets tons of comments because the letters in the logo itself are fashioned out of utensils. Andrew Duke :) ===============================
it was always my underestanding that Utensil was started by Claude and Terrence Dixon, and that shortly after it's beginning, claude left the label and it was in terrence dixon's hands.
