Support Your Local Superstar DJ's
Marc Leclair, also know as Akufen, godfather of Montreal's bleep & glitch community, is especially secretive these days. After releasing his MUSIQUE POUR TROIS FEMMES ENCEINTES under his real name a few years ago, and a wicked mixed CD for the Fabric imprint, he has seldom appeared as a DJ around town, and released a remix here and there.
Those of you who are still waiting for 2002's MY WAY follow-up can start rejoicing : it's going to be released very soon.
In the meantime, you can hear him at Les Saints on Thursday for a Pop Montreal showcase.

Playing with him is a guy who needs no further introduction, Sean fuckin' Kosa. Hard working electro-house red-headed poster boy, Kosa's been at it since the early days, released a genre-bending 12" on Turbo sublabel White Leather in 2002 (the "Dog City EP") and remixed a selection of artists ranging from Jasmin & Jul to Plastic Bertrand and Lesbiand on Ecstasy.
He's been part of bands like Evening (RIP), The Marlon Jacksons and Cutthroats Republic, and though lots of his tracks were not yet released, you can't help but feel it's only a matter of time.
Those of you who have not yet been exposed to his rapid-fire mixing skills and entertainer's personality behind the decks should take note that he's playing at Balroom's NO EXCUSE night almost every week, and that he'll open for Akufen.

Montreal is so much cooler than Seattle. I mean, there's a dude named Windom Earle who plays records. That is rad.
Akufen's coming through here soon. That should be a blast. Please keep sending quality acts to the west coast.
Thanks.
