Checked Deadbeat's dj set at Nublu on Friday, and had the good fortune to meet up with two of Montreal's best and brightest producers, Akufen and Mike Shannon, as well as two of the nicest dudes in the music business, David Day and Jon Berry. Missed the next day's Mini-Mutek due to a last-minute decision to come home for mother's day, but as I peruse the listings at subtonic, it appears they're will be no shortage of great electronic music for the duration of the summer. I'm particularly excited by this gig:

8/12*: Falko Brocksieper (Sub Static, Treibstoff)
Sarah Goldfarb (Traum, Trapez, Treibstoff | France)

Also, picked up some new vinyl: The M.Mayer "Lovefood" EP, with a fantastic, vampish cover of Kylie's "Slow," as well as the 12' of Swayzak's "Snowblind." The Richard Davis and Matthew Jonson mixes are both stellar.
