mutek 2012 (annual mutek thread)

any non-montrealers headed this way?

Highlights so far :


Jeff Mills / Monolake / Shackleton on Thursday night.


Didn't catch too much of Shackleton's set, but I liked what I did hear.
The music in Monolake's set was great, but very stop / start - breaks of a few seconds between each track (waiting for Statto to give this the thumbs up!)
I've waited quite a while to see Jeff Mills live and he didn't disappoint - lots of "Sleeper Wakes" style techno with good energy in the mixing !

Probably the best set of all was A Guy Called Gerald last night - House, Techno, Breakbeat, Drum & Bass / Jungle (including a new techy / dubstep bassline style thing which was really, really good!) and then back into techno before the end. All delivered with a sense of fun (he was getting on the mic and that) and he even showed off some dance moves in front of his setup every now and again - loved it !

FINALLY some Jungle at Mutek !!!

Gerald was outstanding!

Robin Fox's Laser show was **by far** the best "spectacle" this year...

Apart from that I didn't see anything a/v-ish that blew me away (not like last year's Amon Tobin, Murcof, and Plasticman performances). Tim Hecker and Stephen O'Malley's wall of sound in a church was really massive...glad I have fitted earplugs tho!
