'in germany, they can't say 'techno,' they say 'teshno'' ~ seth troxler [march 2008]
i don’t normally post club reviews unless done specifically for here, but dj mag sent me to mutek to report for their july issue and i highly recommend it, so…
mutek is not movement in montreal. nor is it coachella in canada. in fact, it’s unlike any other festival you know. so too is montreal unlike any other american city you will have been to, actually.
teshno is two this month and i wanted to do something special to celebrate. ‘what better than to do my own mix’ i thought. that was about four months ago. i’ve never done such a thing ever before but, in various stages over the last weeks, i have faded, slammed, disharmoniously mixed and fluked together a collection of tracks which didn’t clash too horribly. that said, they all convey the sort of vibes i like in my music… emotion, looseness, warmth, texture. hell, some might even make you want to tap your foot.
