STEWART WALKER and [A]PENDICS.SHUFFLE LIVE
With Noah Pred, Intrepid Traveller, DJs evolve, JAP_. Sat, Apr 26. Cervejaria, 842 College. $17 advance tickets at Slinky Music/Moog, Play De Record.
Local techno promo teams Tempo and Breakandenter are joining forces to present two American artists who create innovative, minimalist-minded techno that consciously nods to the genre’s Motor City roots. Currently based in Berlin, Walker has moved away from the hard and fast techno he was initially known for releasing on labels like Mille Plateaux in favour of the melodies and micro-rhythms you can hear both in his releases for Minus and his own Persona. LA-based Kenneth James Gibson a.k.a. [a]pendics.shuffle is equally experimental, but ups the “computer funk” quotient. This evening of mostly live music marks his Toronto debut.
