Al Wootton, f.k.a. Deadboy, brings his signature blend of experimental dub and sparse, percussive rhythms to this spacious, slow-burning mix built for the early hours.
Drawing from the edges of industrial, downtempo and dub, Wootton sets out to build the dancefloor from scratch rather than ride its peak, layering tension and texture to craft an intense, meditative experience. Get locked in.
Who: Al Wootton.
Where: South East England.
What: This mix is a very percussive mix of interesting tracks on the borders of industrial, dub, post-punk and dance music.
When: It’s for the start of the night. I like to build a dancefloor from the start rather than come in at the end.
Why: It’s just the thing I’ve always spent all my time doing. It’s the form of art or expression that I totally subsumed myself in from a young age.
Al Wootton will play this year’s edition of MUTEK Montréal, which takes place from 19-24 August across the city. Wootton will play a DJ set on Wednesday, 20 August at the free outdoor stage (Expérience 2) and play live as Holy Tongue on Thursday, 21 August at Society for Arts and Technology (Nocturne 2).
