MEK, you *must* catch him live at some point. He opened for Squarepusher in the Ascot a few months back and absolutely blew me away. He did an 8-minute Kraftwerk mash-up at 140bpm that sounded better than some Ableton sets. I have never heard a human able to accurately reproduce a beat, bassline, and two interweaving synth lines using nothing but parts of his body. It must take a complex understanding of microphone techniques to pull off some of the things he does.
