No matter if you are an NMM rookie or oldtimer you are welcome to once again experience what happens when art, innovation and technology meet!

Welcome to NMM 2011.

It is definitely innovation that has landed the four-year-old Vancouver-based company high profile gigs such as 16 installations for the 2010 Olympic Games, a 17-concert tour with Green Day, and various jobs for Coldplay, the Blue Man Group, MSN, Hello Kitty, Bacardi and Heineken to name a few.

Alex Beim, Founder and Creative Director of Tangible Interaction, a cutting-edge design firm, who produces sensory installations where people participation is key. They are focused on creating inspiring interactive environments – people touch, feel, respond or simply stand back and watch in disbelief. Their work tap into people’s basic interest in play, exploration and entertainment. It also creates talk value through a shared experience.

Mikael Stavostrand has been lauded as a key figure of the Swedish electronic music scene for his unique interpretations of minimal club techno as well as for producing some of the most essential experimental electronic music of the past years. Stavöstrand mixes deconstructed sounds with funky little beats to create minimal dance textures.

He started to produce music in the early nineties, but back then he was a part of the industrial scene and released some now labeled as “classic” records under different names. In 2000 he became more focused on bringing his experiences and sound from the pure minimal scene into a more club context, so he started to work with minimal techno sounds, which immediately resulted with releases on Force Inc. in Germany.

He has released over 30 12″ Ep’s and 19 Albums (CD, DLP, LP) so far and he has been featured on many compilation and mix records. He is also a sought after as a remix artist. Between 2000 to 2007 he ran the record label Mitek. Mitek’s aim was to produce and promote upcoming Swedish talents in the field of electronic music. In the years Mitek produced 22 records with different kinds of electronic music, from avant-garde to club. In the summer of 2006 he also started his new label “Sunset Diskos”. This label is purely for club music and deep, funky minimal tunes are the aim here.

Now he is released by Kindisch/Get Physical [DE], Spectral Sound [US], Minisketch [IT], Adjunct [US], Lick My Deck [UK], Sounderground [UK] We Are [SE], Sushitech [UK], Thema [US] and others, with more exciting prospects on the way soon. He has licensed tracks for Fabric mix CD’s (Audion & Steve Bug), mix cd’s by James Holden, Tanja Vulcano, Steve Bug, Agoria and more. His music is heavily played by Dj’s such as Matthew Dear, MANDY, Alexkid, Richie Hawtin, Paco Osuna, Steve Bug, Claude Von Stroke, Ricardo Villalobos, DJ T, Ryan Elliot, Jeff Samuel, Tanya Vulcano, Davide Squillace, Marco Carola, Dinky, Butane, Jeff Milligan, Dubfire, Troy Pierce, Magda, Ryan Crosson, Mark Henning, Miss Fitz, and Jay Haze to name a few.

Parisien DJ and songwriter, Caroline Laher aka Mademoiselle Caro strikes hard. In only a few months she has become an artist the parisian electro scene must count on. Her mixes swet electro-rock rhythms are hypnotizing and her minimal groove rocks. Despite her successful residences in famous clubs like the “dead” Pulp and the legendary Rex Club, she never stopped playing in more intimist places where she walked her first steps in Paris. Mlle Caro has brought an alluring and fresh touch with her first “classical” Ep “Far Away” (Crosstown Rebels) composed with her musical soul-mate Franck Garcia. The Two Ben Watt’s first artists signing an album on the Buzzin’Fly label have recorded a LP brimming with a uniquely fragile yet defiant sound that seems to have one foot in modern-day tech-savvy Berlin and one in vintage early 80′s indie experimentalism. The intelligence of ‘Pain Disappears’ didn’t escape to Ewan Pearson who did a rework of the serene first single “Always You”, and to Radio Slave who remoulded the new wave thrust and sarcasm of the follow-up “Dead Souls” into a strung-out red-eyed tech masterpiece. The lighting rise of this small 31-year-old Dj promises many beautiful things and surprises for the future.
