The XLR8R crew is still buzzing and recovering from Detroit’s Movement Festival and the myriad of high-quality after hours parties attended. Not much sleep for the wicked however as the majority of our team now have moved on to Montreal’s Mutek to continue coverage.
We look forward to reporting back to our readers and listeners in written and filmed formats soon, meanwhile, here are our picks for this weekend.

Already underway since this Wednesday, the 16th edition of the international festival of digital creativity and electronic music that is Mutek offers five nonstop days of internationally recognized artistic excellence.
