Horror Inc, Deadbeat, The Mole, Stephen Beaupré with workshops and performances from FutureMusicLab

This event has already taken place and ended on 30 Sep 2011

Montreal’s Mutek Festival is proud to present a unique Micro.Mutek event featuring some of the festival’s finest ambassadors in collaboration with The Wire and Arnolfini. Premiered at Mutek 2011, Marc Leclair (AKA Akufen)’s Horror Inc live set is remembered as one of this year’s highlights for its widescreen beauty, and presented here for the first time in the UK. With his latest LP, Drawn and Quartered (on his own new BLKRTZ label) receiving acclaim for its stunning reappraisal of dub techno, expect Berlin based Canadian expat Deadbeat to play plenty of his new material, while non-stop releases on The Mole’s busy 7 inches of Love label have been garnering attention from disco-house lovers everywhere. Finally, the excellent Stephen Beaupré will deliver his memorable live set that warmed up MUTEK 2011′s prestigious saturday all-nighter.

The event is organised thanks to the British Council in collaboration with the Québec’s Ministry of International Relations and Department of Culture, Communications and the Status of Women.

With Glastonbury weeks away smaller Festivals are cropping up in the UK anywhere they can. I attended this “We the People” Festival at the weekend in the Centre of Bristol. I had backstage passes and used the opportunity to catch this unusual city centre festival and meet some acts over the sat and sun this ran.  All in all was quite impressed with the line up but each night finished at 11pm owing to restrictions and it was quite obvious that there were heavy volume restrictions on acts.

Pictures coming soon!
