Productrice et performeuse, la Bruxelloise a beau se dire influencée par le rap français, la drum & bass, la bande originale de Twin Peaks et la musique classique jouée par son grand-père, on ne trouve plus aucune trace évidente de ces influences dans son travail. Autant dire qu’elles ont été fort bien digérées dans cet ambient (au sens large) personnel et mélodique, parfois pop, parfois expérimental, toujours très moderne.

Mika Oki
Mika Oki

Mika Oki est une artiste plasticienne, Dj et productrice née à Paris. Avec une formation en sculpture et en musique électro-acoustique, elle explore la notion d'espaces immatériels et de paysages émotionnels à travers des installations audiovisuelles, de la musique et des mixes. En tant que DJ, Mika Oki sait comment surprendre le dancefloor avec une sélection allant de la jungle, de la UK bass et du gqom à l'électro sombre, de la transe envoûtante et de l'EBM lourd. 

Professional Activities

We'll be partnering with the festival this year and will be on site with professionals from Wallonia and Brussels. This trip is part of a mission to Canada that will also include FME festival.

The Belgian delegation travelling to Canada for networking and promotional activities will be announced shortly.

MUTEK Montreal

MUTEK is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination and development of digital creativity in sound, music, and audio-visual art. Its mandate is to provide a platform for the most original and visionary artists currently working in their fields, with the intent of providing an outlet of initiation and discovery for the audiences we seek to develop.

MUTEK’s principal activity is the annual presentation of its namesake festival, which has taken place in Montreal since 2000. Since its first edition, the MUTEK festival has distinguished itself as an international rendezvous for original and avant-garde programming. In terms of content, the festival’s range strives to be diverse, with interests in both the experimental and the playful sides of digital creativity. MUTEK’s programming intends to create a sonic space that can support innovation in new electronic music and digital art. This is a world of constant evolution and incessant refinement – the “MU” in MUTEK refers consciously to the notion of “mutation”.

Over the years, the MUTEK festival has presented a considerable number of renowned artists while simultaneously providing an important showcase for up-and-coming talent. Each edition offers a notable array of Canadian, North American, and even international premieres. The festival provides an open, inviting environment that encourages rewarding exchanges between artists, professionals, and the public; MUTEK is a point of convergence, drawing participants from all over the world to profit from a context of active discovery. Many of the festival’s participants have gained concrete and positive opportunities from their involvement with MUTEK.
