He played live at Paxahau at the fest in May in Detroit, and it was
dope. Definitely worth catching if he is playing live - the live
approach makes things more exciting and dynamic.

we been talking about the guy before.
imho he's definitely worth checking although i don't like all of his
material. his sound is a bit that of retrofuturistic, well produced
and danceable, i'd say there is a big Kraftwerk influence. i never
liked his big hit "Decompression" tho' except for the time i spotted
it in a set at a party (thanks to Matt Chester:) -- worked there
pretty well. i've only heard a Breezeblock mix by Mathew and he what
he spun was all his own tracks.
although subject's sound doesn't seem anything fresh, there's a
something very special about it. i tend to appreciate him more and
more, especially as i found older releases on Itiswhatitis Recordings,
like:
she is he [IIWII005] 2002
typerope [IIWII007] 2003
love letter to the enemy [IIWII009] 2004

I'm curious to get some info on this dude, seeing he's been getting
major props for a while and his records are hot and he is rated by
Richie Hawtin.
I think everyone misspells his name, too. I was also under the
impression
that he had a UK connection, but it seems with his label being called
Vancouver, he's Canadian... He's booked to play live in Oz, but does
he DJ
much also and what is it like?
