Just finished the Mutek weekend, which is the electronic festival in Montreal. I am exhausted and happy. There are always such exciting things going on, from the performers, to visuals, to the community. So very inspiring. 

Highlights of the weekend for me:

Friday night, the visuals at A/ Visions 3, then  Kode 9 and Nautiluss and KiNK playing at the  Société des arts technologiques. Danced my little butt off!

Saturday,  CLARK playing at the SAT. They have a dome there that is projected onto in 360 degrees. It was incredible to be in the middle of giant surrounding visuals while listening to great music. I kept thinking that if anyone from 100 years ago had seen that dome, they would have thought they were in heaven, it was so surreal and unbelievable! 

Then of course, Minilogue vs Mathew Jonson playing at Metropolis that same evening. 

On Sunday,  Piknic Electronik once again rocked my world. Something about dancing outside in the sunshine while eating picnics with friends that is irreplaceable. 

One more electronic thing that was great about this week, although not officially apart of Mutek, was a set by Max Ulis at the Belmont on Wednesday night. I have subsequently been listening to this mix of his for the whole rest of the week.

At the end of it all, there's nothing quite like curling up with a bunch of friends and watching a movie. Tired, content, with multiple bodily aches, I am happy.

P.S. Watch this.
