Mutek 2006

From May 31st until June 4th, Montrealers and those who find themselves at the 45th parallel will be able to enjoy the annual jamboree of electronic music and "new technologies" called MUTEK.

This year, the only name I recognize on the program is that of Richie Hawtin (he plays outdoors in Parc Jean-Drapeau on the 4th). That either says something about the festival's inability to attract more headliners or, more likely, it says something about how clueless I've become on the subject of electronic music. Or, possibly, it says both.

Anyway, you now have less than a week to get to Montreal and catch the groove: www.mutek.ca.
