Meek Live @ Mutek 2011

From playing records and making beats in the basement in Calgary, Alberta to mixing beats on the world's stage. Omalettie's history of playing Chicago and Hard House, brings you a mix of flavours in UK Garage, from hard hitting Breakbeats and 4x4 to the smooth rolling sounds of the old school. 

Tomas started his career in the golden era of minimal and glitch techno and helped to define the genres. 
His live performance at the inaugural Mutek festival in 2000 caught the ear of Force Inc who signed him shortly after, just eking-out Akufen to become the first Canadian on the label. In the era where vinyl still ruled, and digital downloads were just a twinkle in some corporation's eye, Tomas dropped albums on Traum, Klang Elektronik, Revolver, Audio.NL, and more. 
Since then, two decades of producing has seen Jirku manipulate house on Arbutus Records; hip-hop with his laser-gun-rap project The Killaz; dub on his highly regarded "Entropy" album; electro, ambient, and other experiments that defy genres. With experience performing around the globe and having made his mark on innumerable record labels, Tomas has been honing back in on techno, aiming to maximize the brain and body connection that deep techno can provide.
His recent releases on Seattle's Innerflight, Berlin's Thoughtless, Vancouver's Subspec, and Rome's Concrete record labels further prove that the Canadian producer has built a strong repertoire by not doing anything straightforward or ordinary.

Meek (aka Mike Baugh) has been creating unexpected dance music since the late 90's . He has released tracks on various imprints such as Fat Cat, Cocosolidciti and Mutek_Rec. While he generally tends to fly under the radar his lives sets are imminently memorable. His style is sometimes difficult to pin down but lies somewhere between a wonky mutation of micro house and an innovative concoction of abstract beats and fluttering melodies.
