MUTEK 2024 | Jordan GCZ, Eclecticism Under the Rain at Esplanade tranquille

The PAN M 360 team is criss-crossing the entire MUTEK 2024 program, observing as many artists as possible during this 25th edition of its Montreal version. Follow our experts right up to Sunday evening, as no other MUTEK media coverage promises to be this extensive!

How to sum up Jordan GCZ observed under the rain at the Esplanade tranquille in this Experience 1? Eclectic sound compositions. Bold approach. Spontaneity. Jordan Czamanski gave us a performance full of experimentation. Served up live, slow, driving rhythms, binary and repetitive, with electro house accents. Finally dry at the dawn of MUTEK 224, the audience gathered at the front of the stage to start waddling. The Torontonian by adoption wove a progression to prepare for the end of the program. As the crowd swayed, he gradually ramped up the BPM and introduced a multitude of Afro-Latin-sounding sonorities and copper notes linked to the warmth of analog synthesizers. As a DJ with the electronic duo Juju & Jordash and the band Magic Mountain High, the producer drew on his multiple experiences to energize the Esplanade Tranquille.
