MUTEK_10 Tour featuring THE MOLE (Wagon Repair, Berlin)

+ THOM BANKS (Big Head Knights) & SiGNAL resident ANDY CLOCKWORK

About THE MOLE
******************

The Mole is a vinyl junkie, and that love of the past is what makes his live sets so thrilling and so unique. Whether it be old R&B, '70s kitsch or obscure prog, The Mole live experience sidesteps the disco re-edit trend of lifting and looping entire bridges, and instead strips a nearly forgotten music history down to barely-there moments, which he then loops and layers ad infinitum until they get under your skin and literally force your feet to move. The Mole has a lock on pure dance floor magic of the timeless variety. He can strip an old song down to its warmth and then raise its temperature, without ever tipping his mix into recognition. -- Dimitri Nasrallah

About Thom Banks - Renegade Soundsystem (Soundwave) / ESP/ Big Head Knights - Victoria BC

Thom Banks has been a staple in the dance music scene in the City of Gardens since 1998. His blend of house music ranges from jackin' house to dirty tech funk to deep techno house. Thom has earned himself many residencies over the years and has been invited to play at the best festivals, parties and nightclubs, including numerous Lotus Long Weekends @ the Lotus Sound Lounge in Vancouver, Full Moon Parties in Thailand, slick beach clubs in Mexico, and of course, Soundwave, west coast Canada's fabled 3-day electronic music festival. His tight mixing, unparalleled track selection and keen ability in interpreting his crowd on the dance floor has allowed him to play alongside names such as Mark Farina, Lawnchair Generals, Asad Rizvi, Bassnectar and Dirt Crew, just to name a few. Often considered a DJ's favourite DJ, Thom can lay down beats that are subtle and smooth or thick and chunky - either way, his selection and mixing always breaks new ground.


*************

MUTEK is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination and development of digital creativity in sound, music, and audio-visual art. Its mandate is to provide a platform for the most original and visionary artists currently working in their fields, with the intent of providing an outlet of initiation and discovery for the audiences we seek to develop.

MUTEK’s principal activity is the annual presentation of its namesake festival, which has taken place in Montreal since 2000. Since its first edition, the MUTEK festival has distinguished itself as an international rendezvous for original and avant-garde programming. In terms of content, the festival’s range strives to be diverse, with interests in both the experimental and the playful sides of digital creativity. MUTEK’s programming intends to create a sonic space that can support innovation in new electronic music and digital art. This is a world of constant evolution and incessant refinement – the “MU” in MUTEK refers consciously to the notion of “mutation”.

Over the years, the MUTEK festival has presented a considerable number of renowned artists while simultaneously providing an important showcase for up-and-coming talent. Each edition offers a notable array of Canadian, North American, and even international premieres. The festival provides an open, inviting environment that encourages rewarding exchanges between artists, professionals, and the public; MUTEK is a point of convergence, drawing participants from all over the world to profit from a context of active discovery. Many of the festival’s participants have gained concrete and positive opportunities from their involvement with MUTEK.
