Not sure if you were aware or not, but Narod Niki DID play at Mutek THIS last year, so I'm sure that they'll probably be their next year. I've never been to Mutek, but I'm getting the info from Ableton's site: http://www.ableton.com/index.php?main=events&sub=narod_niki "NAROD NIKI is a collaboration project founded by Ricardo Villalobos that was presented for the first time at last year´s MUTEK Festival. The idea of the project is to bring together a number of techno masterminds to do a live jam, hiding their identities behind a collective alias to keep the attention dedicated to the music" ... "The exact lineup will, of course, remain secret. Even so, it should be quite obvious that the list of artists at this event can be nothing but long and extraordinary!!" So, it wouldn't be the exact same line up, but something as good. *** Now what I'd like to see personally is not a 20 guys standing behind laptops. That's about as exciting as 1 Guy sitting behind a laptop. I'd like to see 20 Skilled musicians/patchers with their Modulars and Step Sequencers, and them just going at it. Patching like wildmen.
