/// VINCENT LEMIEUX
For almost a decade, Vincent Lemieux has played an integral role in Montreal’s internationally acclaimed dance-music community. Lemieux is man who wears many different hats: curator, label owner, DJ, producer, taste-maker… this is a man who has done it all and inflected every project in his association with an indelible personal style.
Internationally, Vince is probably best known as one of the curators behind Montreal’s MUTEK Festival. Since 2000, he has helped shape his hometown conception of progressive electronic music through the acts he brings to town. When not programming the festival, Lemieux hosts two of the most cutting-edge techno weeklies in the city. His long-running Tuesday night at Salon Daomé, where he DJ’s alongside world-class talent, has become a staple in Montreal’s nightlife. Claude Von Stroke, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Zip, Sammy D, they’ve all graced the decks at Daomé courtesy of Vince.
As label owner of Musique Risquée, which he started with Akufen’s Marc Leclair, Lemieux is also responsible for fostering local and international talent. The label has released work by Atom TM, Akufen, Bruno Pronsatto, The Mole, Jichael Mackson, Guillaume & the Coutu-Dumonts, Philippe Cam, and others. Musique Risquée tracks have been featured on compilations by Crosstown Rebels, Tigersushi, Fabric, and Freud Am Tanzen. Vince has also spawned the city’s Soirée Risquée nights, now with over 30 incarnations, showcasing the label’s fine roster to enthusiastic fans.
Yet it is his work as a DJ that has caught the ears of the most listeners. Lemieux has toured the world as an ambassador for Montreal’s distinctive brand of micro-house. As the official MUTEK DJ, his sets have been a staple of festival showcase from China to Paris to Berlin and back. His DJing skills have found fervent followers all over the world, at events in Spain (Sonar), Mexico (MUTEK_MX), Chile (MUTEK_CL), and Argentina (MUTEK_AR).
Since 2006, Lemieux has been expanding into music production through collaborations with Guillaume Coutu-Dumont (as Flabbergast) and Stephen Beaupré (as Brandy Snifter). In the next year, focus will shift increasingly to recording music and moving into the one domain of electronic music he has yet to conquer.
so i don't think i'm out of order here to mention his birthday tomorrow...

I hope Akufen makes it onto the schedule this year, he's from here!
He was on the schedule last year, for the final night at SAT.
I hope he is not on schedule this year.
One of the great things from Mutek is that they try and usually succed to never book the same acts two years in a row

Very true.
Thing is I wish Akufen had more gigs in this city, seeing he is from here. It sucks that he is like very reclusive (thats the way I see it)
I wonder how many people in the Montreal section even knew about Akufen?

Idi Amin sez:
Very excited about MUTEK. The MUTEK piknik is about as awesome as anything that could possibly happen during the year, with the hajj coming a close second. I would be really happy to see a Matthew Dear (non-audion, maybe false or just him and troxler) set and maybe curtiss play for a few hours. How many are shelling out the bread for the week-long pass?
I might buy the Mutek PAss actually. Seems like it's worth it but I guess I'll have to see how the individual events are divided up.

we need MVB and Meghan to post pics in the other thread :p
Re: Mutek, it's important for the edm scene to have these acts, to expose people to different artists who will push new sounds probably far before any of the djs listed in Krink's post. It's good for the progression of music here, good for the scene, imo
