Headliners include Carl Craig, Radio Slave and the Field with a live band.
Montreal’s Mutek Festival announced the first names of its forthcoming ninth edition today, promising sets from the likes of techno legend Carl Craig, beloved Brit Radio Slave, dubstep doyens Kode 9 & Spaceape and Swedish producer The Field, who will be performing his celebrated ambient house with a live band.
Other performers will include a Vakant special with Onur Özer and Mathias Kaden, the tight techno of Jeremy P. Caulfield and German and French pranksters Modeselektor and Nôze. (No word yet on whether Modeselektor will be bringing the monkey suits.)
With more acts to be announced in mid-April, we’re figuring this one to be the best reasons to go to Canada since, well, the last edition of Mutek. The festival will be held from May 28th to June 1st, 2008.
