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. Keep up with our experts until Sunday evening, as no other MUTEK event promises such extensive media coverage!
Californian Jason Chung, aka Nosaj Thing, is a respected artist whose career has been on the move since the 2000s. From punk and experimental hardcore, he has gradually developed a language meaningful enough to attract giants such as Kendrick Lamar and Flying Lotus. His art extends beyond the world of music, and is much in demand in film, television and multimedia production. In the SAT’s main hall, he kicked off Wednesday’s very first hour with his eminent Montreal colleague Jacques Greene, a regular at MUTEK, Piknic and Igloofest, known for his singular declensions of house, future soul and other sub-genres mixed with brilliant insertions, including female declamations in French please. Nosaj Thing and Jacques Greene presented their first live set, a creative extrapolation of a long B2B DJ set tour. The tandem offered a conclusive set, typical of the Nocturne series: sonic exploration, conceptual audacity wrapped in better-known referents and, needless to say, conducive to nocturnal libations.
