DeadbeatCA
Scott Monteith aka Deadbeat is one of the most solid and adventurous producers Canada has ever given us. You can randomly choose any of his numerous LPs, EPs or singles released since 1996 and always land on a great moment of groove-filled electronica. With a strong anchor in dub, minimal techno and soundscapes, Deadbeat has made us trust his vision as a producer by expanding, mixing or contrasting these foundations with an energy always moving forward. His eighth participation in MUTEK MX will be under the influence of The Lichen Diaries Vol. 1. (Mute Song, 2024) a conceptual piece with an abstract and nocturnal sound that connects with the bass and dark techno of contemporary clubbing, with that distinctive Deadbeat touch that we still can't get enough of.
A master of crackly worlds of dub, undulating reggae scorchers and forward-thinking percussive experimentations, Deadbeat manipulates sonic space with impressive technical command and melodic dexterity. Whether crafting kaleidoscopic house and chugging deep techno or tar-thick, impossibly weighty minimalism, his output is at once soft and hard.
