Is there one in your area? Is it good ? I hear Montreal has a good Electronic scene ... |
||||||||
|
|

anywhere there's anything is out east. there's a itty-bitty one in toronto from what i hear, and yes...montral seems to be the place. fuck calgary. such a horrible waste of a city. *doSIHFOI"JHOo'h dies* |

i hear Vancouvers got a electronic produers scene chatching on...though i won't be going there till next year. |
||||||||

that would be nice, as that's infinitely more convenient for me. it's only a 30 minute plane flight away. wooo. |

*tumbleweed rolls by* *p.s. the tumbleweed has crickets chirping in it* |
||||||||

|
|
that makes it quite a unique tumbleweed |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed; both unique and rare, this tumbleweed travels only the most un-happening of streets of the most un-happening scenes of the most un-happening towns... or when the words "canadian" "electronic" and "scene" are used serially to form a phrase |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
WOW! I've always wanted to meet the "Canadian-Un-happening-electronic-scene Tumbleweed!" |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
unfortunately your enthusiasm has promptly scared it off |

MTL music composers are mainly click-house, dubby-experimental and psy-trance. A few french hip-hoppers are also in the scene. |

Since I live and frequent show in Montreal, the greatest city in the world, I will list some of what's going on here: Tiga - for those into electro Afuken - his album "My Way" on Force Inc. is pretty fargin' good. Tim Hecker - pretty sure he's still around these parts - Radio Amor, Haunt Me, Haunt Me Do It Again Mitchell Akiyama - lesser known but signed to Komet's Raster-Noton imprint David Kristian - the man with the tiny machines rarely disappoint Kid Koala - Ninja Tune Turntablist Misstress Barbara - World Renowned House DJ Deadbeat - on Pole's label ~scape That's about all I can think of right now... PLUS Mutek every year. Which never disappoints. Every summer we get a week of shows of the best of the best. For example Herbert, Kompakt label showcase, Stephan Mattieu AND We most often get the shows everywhere else does. AND It's cheap to live here, the bars are open until 3 a.m., and the women are beautiful. BUT It can get damn cold. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plus for the experimental headz there's the festival just outside Montreal, just before Mutek.... i can't remember what it's called or where exactly it is... but last years roster was nice.... and i know winnipeg did have the send and receive festival... but i think that ended this year... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes this is an amazing festival as well, held annually in Victoriaville Quebec. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wanna know if i can arrange to arrive in montreal with time to catch a bit of both festivals... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Non existent. You'd be hardpressed to find a motherfucker who's seen Come to Daddy here. Of all the electronic music I listen to, I can't think of much that's a product of the Great White North... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a shame... cause we have some talented boys floatin' about... not a tonne, but most of them do it pretty damn well |

Alien8 is also part of the Montreal scene. Good people for sure. I remember seeing Godspeed in this loft where you brought your own beer. Ah good times. |

The electronic scene in Melbourne is fuckin' great! HEAPS of artists, 2 nights during the week featuring - experimental, idm, hardcore+breakcore, fuck.. ANYTHING really! and the occasional gig on the weekend mainly in some warehouse or something. there is so many venues and these kinda nights in Melbourne anyone can get a gig! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This has worked because theres is a large group of people with the right attitude and the right contacts! It's nice to be a part of! |
||||||||

come to rural Newfoundland... there's a huge scene a brewing... when the old fishermen get back from a long day on the sea, with a big catch of cod and crab in tow, they always break out the synthesizers and drum machines and have a good ole rave down on the docks!! |

i actually went to an idm night here in edmonton recently... it was in this rent-out type hall above these two-decrepit looking shops on the edge of chinatown... there was like 35 people there... first there were two djs spinning glitch with one apply fx to the others mixing... then this local dude Clinker, who apparently was at Mutek last year (and is supposed to have an album in the works for Andrew Duke's label) did a laptop noise-ambient set. It was quite a good set, actually, and when he does release an album, he might be worth checking out... then this dude from Peterborough, Mr. Ruben Kincaid came on and dead an interesting live beats set on his laptop... really messed up stuff... |

The only problem is the lack of communication. Goddamn in Montréal, it's really tough. Even if there's all those cool artists (Kid Koala, Amon Tobin, etc...) I mean I have no clue about the upcomming Squarepusher show, it's less then 2months away. Same goes for the Zentertainment show at the SAT with Amon. ;-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but you don't have to buy a plane ticket, just to get to Mutek |
