MUTEK_10 Tour

Montreal's Mole drops a live set at the Lotus this weekend, part of the MUTEK_10 Tour that's prepping North America for MUTEK_10  as part of thi year's 10th anniversary of the Montreal MUTEK festival. The New Forms Media Society (remember breakforms & the bug???) have teamed up with intimate productions (who do Saturday's SiGNAL nights at the Lotus) to bring this tour to Vancouver.

MUTEK_10 runs from May 27-31 in Montreal, if you get the chance to go you should definitely take it - MUTEK draws killer electronic acts from all over the place (plus it's in Montreal in the spring, yeah?!?!?).

In the meantime, get down to the Lotus this Sat & get a taste with the Mole...

Smalltown DJs...

Cowtown's most famous dj-duo are at Shine tonight, tearin it up & hopefully turning the place into a sweatbox. You can check out some of their tracks on their myspace page but their dj sets are where it's really at. I snagged the mix below from Discobelle a couple of months back so it'sa bit older but check it & you'll see what i mean...

Kingstonlogic2.0...

keepin (kinda) on the electro ghettoblaster theme, today's the global release of the director's cut of Kingstonlogic2.0 - extra-nice jamaican electro from Kingston's own Terry Lynn. Go to Terry Lynn's site to check out some more of her beats & some great photographs courtesy of The Afflicted Yard if you wanna learn more (& you should wanna...).

I can't speak for authenticity, but Lynn's got these dirty electro tracks that seem to speak more to the daily Kingston grind than partying & sex - which, i dunno, maybe it's just me but that's kind of a nice break sometimes, yeah???

check out more of what Lynn's go to say.

& on that note, check out The Afflicted Yard's site too, you won't be sorry...

Kingstonlogic 2.0 below - this one's from discobelle.net, but the full version is here.
