Mutek Montreal 2011 Picks
For the 11th installement of Montreal’s MUTEK festival I thought i’d hook you up with my pre-festival picks. Last year was a real eye opener for me because historically Mutek hasn’t always been my cup of tea (there was a little too much focus on minimal tech). Not that I …

Future Classic: DNTEL “Enya Mixes”
If you’ve been following my site for a little bit, you know that i’m very iffy on the whole beat tape stuff and especially with mash ups or remix projects. I think about 5-10% of them sound like they took more than a day to be made. I’m really liking …

To give you all a little preview of their upcoming appearance in Montreal, I had a little chat with the Schlatchofbronx boys from Germany. Instead of doing a proper “where are you from” “how did you start in music” type of interview, I decided to ask them to be part …
