EAF, Tropisme and SAT team up to bring you a cutting-edge night, with sounds spanning from hifi trip-hop to IDM, with Hesaitix headlining for his Montreal premiere and the smashing return of local darlings Amselysen and Laced. An evening fated to be dancy and shocking.
Hailing from Berlin, Hesaitix (fka M.E.S.H.), discovered on the label PAN, revolutionized the club sound in the 2010s with his profound and mature approach, deftly combining avant-garde nostalgic rhythms and introspective ambient respites. Preceding Hesaitix is Amselysen’s new club-experimental shocking hybrid performance and Laced’s entrancing productions. This 6th event, curated by EAF and Tropisme, dares to be thought-provoking and lively!
Formerly known as M.E.S.H., James Whipple presents his new project, Hesaitix.
Continuing groundbreaking work on the PAN banner, James Whipple brings the tempo down and delivers a mix of cutting-edge, yet nostalgic, club grooves and introspective ambient respites. Warping steel sheets, birdsong, distant spoken word, slamming serrated trip-hop drums — a musical lexicon potent both on the dancefloor and in a grind fiction piece.
As Amselysen, sound-recording artist Hakeem Lapointe never lingers on a single sound. After stints in IDM, noise, techno, art-pop and synthwave, their new endeavour promises dry, plastic, bold club-centric productions and pure electronic conquests. Still as hyperdynamic and iconoclastic as ever, Amselysen delivers wretched peace and caustic club rhythms.
Previously performing under aliases such as S. Tease and Lacedetail, Montreal’s Nela Paki now uses the laced moniker for her current output of progressive, entrancing electronic patterns. She has performed live sets alongside artists like E-Saggila, Hiro Kone, Boy Harsher, Jaclyn Kendall and Minimal Violence. She is part of Saudade, a musical project inspired by industrial dub, ambient and jazz, with harpist Marilou Lyonnais Archambault.
