MUTEK Montréal is a multi-venue celebration of digital creativity held in the city’s cultural heart. 

Each year, the festival devotes itself to platforming artists and thinkers working across electronic music, sound and visual arts, and invites them to come together in Canada’s second largest city for a sprawling six days of events.

Today, we’re presenting a two-part live mix series, recorded at the festival’s 24th edition earlier this year. Every bit of bright and vibrant as its accompanying artwork, this recording from scene staple Jennifer Cardini harnesses the energy of festival season and transports it direct to your speakers. 

"MUTEK was the highlight of my summer, the energy in that beautiful room was amazing and it was an absolute honour to be invited to share the stage with so many artists I love," says Cardini. "Hope you can feel that in this mix." Serious fun guaranteed.

A few words from the artist:

1/ How would you describe your personal connection to music and how it influences your creative process?

Music is my life; it's the only field I've ever worked in. I've had a deep emotional connection with music since my teenage New Wave years. When I'm plugged into music, my brain is full on —not just as a DJ or remixer but also as an A&R.

Managing three music labels and a publishing company means I get creative on various levels. It's not just about my personal expression, but also about finding ways to share music with the world and nurture the growth of younger artists.


2/ As an artist, how do you see the intersection between fashion and music? 

It's boundary-less nowadays; art, fashion, and music are all intricately woven together. Younger generation's versatility with tools like Blender and Ableton, not to mention their ability to delve into art and even create their own fashion changed the rules The influence of social media has further blurred the lines. Now, everyone is their own stylist, and artists have become both talents and faces of brands.
I've always linked music to fashion. 


3/ What particularly interested you in collaborating with Études to make this mix? 

I wear Etudes every day and I listen to music every day, so it just made sense to me.
I’ve been a longtime fan of the brand, especially the bombers. I also like the collabs and the themes around the city. 


4/ How did you curate this musical sequence/audio journey? 

As Etudes' recent collections are heavily centered around the urban landscape, I aimed to create something that resonates with the city vibe. During my travels in Asia, while curating the music selection, the idea struck me to craft a mixtape perfect for driving. Simultaneously, I envisioned it as a fitting soundtrack for a video game.
The mix carries a strong influence from 90s prog house. While journeying and partying across Asia, memories of playing Wipeout in the 90s flooded my mind. The game, set in a futuristic city, mirrored the adolescent idea we had of Asia MEGAPOLE  while playing.
 
 
5/ Three words to define your mix for Études?
 
Journey, Joyful, Trippy

Jennifer Cardini Mix N°64

Panaroma Bar resident and longtime IsBurning regular https://soundcloud.com/massimilianopagliara has been based in Berlin for several years where he's been one of the main forces behind recombining the city's hardboiled techno scene with an often overlooked sensibility for the soft and the tender. Call it underground disco passion.

For his entry to our podcast series he serves up a tantalizing techno set and has this to say about his favorite track in it:
“Megatrance by Voiski is one of my all time favorite tracks and I drop this almost every time when I play a techno set. Like the title suggests, this track has a huge trance - psychedelic vibe to it, that can take you to another dimension.”

Live at ToyToy Club, 3.11.23

Massimiliano Pagliara... IsBurning #137

@sedefadasi's style is impossible to pin down. Embarking on her sonic journey, she fearlessly navigates her craft through a multifaceted universe of rhythms and genres, captivating dance floors with her everlasting groove and electrifying embrace. The best place to experience this rollercoaster is her own monthly HAMAM party at City club in Augsburg where she has invited plenty of international guests to join her. The Turkey-born, Germany-based artist is also a resident at Blitz Music Club and is set to join us at Dekmantel Selectors later in the summer, but first comes this week's podcast. 

It launches in seductive fashion with the moonlit deep house of Chicagoan Ben 'Cosmo' D then cruises through smooth but punchy grooves that stay low and bring hints of old-school cool in the basslines, stabs and drum breaks. Adasi's shift through the gears is almost imperceptible here as the pace quickens and the drums grow more physical. That is a testament to not only her smart selections but also to her ability to thread together these sounds quite so seamlessly.

Multisexual Mix #15 Bryan Kessler

Here is a new mix I did while travelling to Armenia a couple of weeks ago. 

I did it on my phone in between the waiting room and boarding a plane in Warsaw with the software Djay Pro AI by Algoriddim.

On my phone I have thousands of tracks in high resolution, .aifs files.
 
The mix was recorded in CD quality in the software. 

I did use „sync“ and also some of the „AI crossfades“ to be able to record it flowingly and with all the tempo changes and while showing my boarding pass, literally. 

Even though this is a completely different approach from how I would mix in a club, I did really enjoy doing it this way, it wouldn’t be possible with conventional tools. 

I love music and technology and to try out new ways of recording stuff.

Hope you enjoy!

…guess, we all have agreed that DJ MILLE (@djmilleofficial) and Momo (@m-o-m-o) have masterfully caught, grasped and channelled the subtle cosiness of the Sunday evening warmup spirit at THE VIEW. 

The sheer beauty of Dub spirals so gently and seamlessly into our ears that we barely notice the way they send us into absolute ecstasy riding over shimmering Deephouse and House waves. A touch of Disco sprinkled in here and there and off we go!
