Lowfish is the stage name of Canadian electronic musician and producer Gregory de Rocher.

Originating from Toronto, de Rocher was a fan of Donna Summer's Eurodisco single "I Feel Love", and became fascinated with electronic music after attending a demonstration of modular synthesizers at a science museum. He began experimenting with synthesizers and drum machines in the early 1990s. De Rocher recorded his early work under the name Pest(e), before establishing Suction Records with business partner Jason Amm (who records his own music under the alias Solvent), in 1997. De Rocher then adopted his best-known moniker, a modified contraction of "lo-fi-ish". He and Amm have performed together under the banner of "Solvent vs Lowfish".

Aside from his own compositions, de Rocher has provided remixes for artists including David Kristian and Kid606. He has created cover art for various Suction Records releases.
