CNTRL: Beyond EDM

Long obsessed with pushing the boundaries of electronic music through the integration of new kit, techno innovator Richie Hawtin is joining forces with Loco Dice for a tour of Canada and various US Colleges, including Berklee College of Music.

 
Operating under the banner CNTRL: Beyond EDM, it gives some idea as to the Canadian DJ's intentions, seeking out tomorrow's DJs and producers and exposing them to a host of cutting-edge electronic artists, past and present, including Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, Kevin Saunderson, Josh Wink, Victor Calderone and Paco Osuna. Focusing on 'techno and technology aspects of modern-day electronic music', the events will also feature special guest speakers in each city during the daytime lecture programming, including Tiga (Nov 5, Montreal) and John Acquaviva (Nov 6, London Ontario). LMFAO unfortunately had to pull out after the sad news that they have split.
 
All DJs playing will also be on hand to give master classes by day, and CNTRL has ensured that local DJ/production/industry are present to help push the tour's overall aim – 'showing... the roots of the music, the history of a global movement and demonstrating what the future of music technology and performance has the power to become.”
 
So wear your serious techno face and leave the glow sticks and flashing dummy at home.
