Deadbeat is the pseudonym of one Scott Monteith, the Montreal, Canada-based electronic musician. Several Real Audio streams of his work are available on the audio page (here) of his website (here). Be sure to check out the hour-long Deadbeat performance of dubby ambience from May 2003 at the Mutek Festival, as well as his half-hour live collaboration, with Monolake (aka Robert Henke), as Atlantic Waves, from the May 2002 Mutek fest.
