He is in Quebec City on June 29th and in the Montreal forum someone started a thread about Hawtin at piknik the day before but so far it looks like pure speculation to me. |

DEMF = The Party-Party side of Techno
Mutek = The Geeky side of Techno
Not to say that Mutek isn't a great party, but it has more of the techno-nerd factor going for it.
I've been the past three years, and going again this year.
At Mutek, you'll get to hear allot of stuff that doesn't normally get played in Toronto or in North America / Canada. You get to hear more stuff on the weird / experimental side of things. ie: Layering the Buddah, sitting down on Yoga matts in a dark room with a bunch of speakers sournding the roomf for 360' sound and listening to a sound installation.
During the week there are panels / work-shops during the day. The big-parties are the Nocturns (Fri/Sat night) and the Pikniks (Sat/Sunday during the day).
Sure, DEMF has a great line-up of "Party" DJs - not to dismiss them, it's a great lineup - but you have people spinning allot of the same records / type of sound here. But, how often do you get to indulge your inner-techno nerd to an Raster Noton showcase? or the Atom installation?
The "Party" side of Mutek is also very fun with the Pikniks really being the highlight of the weeekend if the weather plays nice. The location for it is great, the sound is massive and the vibe is always top-notch. Richie vs Ricardo a few years ago is still one of my top-party memories, and the Nocturn that followed with Pole & Band / Deadbet blew my mind and was some of the best music I've ever heard live - and stuff I know I'll rarely/if ever get to hear that type of stuff played out in Toronto.
I keep debating "Do I do DEMF this year?", but Mutek keeps winning out due to types of acts that you just dont see here at all/very often. |
or you can do a combination of BOTH types of events in Barcelona at Sonar! www.sonar.es
:D

Been twice.
never again.
nerdy looking dudes EVERYWHERE.
Lots of richie hawtin circa 1995-2003 look alikes.
Lots of standing around at events with no one dancing.
A couple of humorous panel discusssions, but overall very lame.
Highlights of my weekends were non mutek events with girls non boring bleepy techno. |

Iiiiinteresting. I wonder what that means for Toronto. |
I talked to him at WMC and he told me he would be in Toronto around Canada Day at Guv (he thought it was Guv). I can only assume it will be the Saturday before Picnik or it will be at Guv for the Canada Day party. |

My plan:
MUTEK//PIKNIC 1: Parc Jean- Drapeau – $10 CDN // 2pm
Saturday afternoon promises to be a showcase for those softer, subtler textures of electronic music: dub-techno, deep house, funk, and disco. The day starts off at a relaxed pace, ideal for lying back in the sun, with the Canadian premiere of Berlin’s THOMAS FEHLMANN, who presents his hypnotic brand of dub-techno to early-afternoon revelers. New York’s BRENDON MOELLER is up next, delivering a premiere of his upcoming Third Ear album called “Jazz Junk Safari”. Manchester’s TRUS’ME follows suit with a set of rarefied Northern soul feeding the foundation of deep house that has made him an international favourite. The day in the park wraps up with THE MOLE on the decks, spinning a set of disco-fuelled techno.
ATOM 2 & 3: Théâtre Maisonneuve – $15 CDN // 5pm & 7pm
ROBERT HENKE & CHRISTOPHER BAUDER’s monumental ATOM installation continues its residency at the prestigious Théâtre Maisonneuve at Place des Arts with two showings on Saturday, once in the early afternoon and again in the early evening.
NOCTURNE 4: Metropolis – $35 CDN // 10pm // Resident Advisor Night
The festival’s marquee all-night event, and for this 10th anniversary we’re pulling out all the stops! MUTEK and RESIDENT ADVISOR join forces to present a line-up featuring some of the most revered names in electronic music today. Local jazz and funk sample-maven MOONSTARR gets things underway in the main room, followed by the inimitable antics of French cabaret-house trio dOP. Next up sees the tantalizing pairing of two of techno’s most sought-after names – MATHEW JONSON and DANDY JACK – coming together for a heart-pounding live performance. Berlin’s Tobias Freund return for his second MUTEK_10 appearance, this time in his tobias. moniker and ready to keep the late-night crowds moving. Finally, Detroit techno pioneer CARL CRAIG takes the stage for a 3-hour DJ set that will take audiences well into the morning.
Meanwhile in the Savoy Room, MUTEK pays tribute to Seattle’s Decibel Festival with a showcase of that city’s finest electronic offerings. The breezy ambience of THE SIGHT BELOW gets the evening underway, followed by the dark tones of LUSINE’s contemplative techno. PEZZNER and JEREMY ELLIS pick up the pace and follow through till dawn.
MUTEK//PIKNIC 2: Parc Jean-Drapeau – $10 CDN // 2pm
The final day starts off in the park with a very special reunion between MUTEK and two of its most beloved contributors over the years. This afternoon picnic features a rare North American appearance by RICARDO VILLALOBOS, who will be tagteaming on the decks for a marathon DJ set with none other than Perlon founder and manager ZIP.
Does anyone know anything about this performance?
A\VISIONS 4: SAT – $25 CDN // 8pm
A very special Raster-Noton showcase, featuring the label’s most durable attractions in their most bristling and conceptual post-industrial guises. The evening begins with the North American premiere of RYOJI IKEDA and CARSTEN NICOLAI’s reunion as CYCLO., the pairing that wowed audiences last in the early 2000’s and has been silent ever since. Uwe Schmidt, the German expatriate currently living in Chile, reprises his role as ATOM TM. Next, Carsten Nicolai returns to the stage solo to present his much-heralded ALVA NOTO compositions. Finally, Olaf Bender brings the mighty BYETONE to life with the rock-driven Teutonic beats that have made his recent records so collectible.
Seems kind of interesting. |
