Thanks to everyone who helped us get through a hectic but rewarding night bringing Pantha Du Prince to the Boston port. Click above for photos of the night.

Pantha Du Prince (a.k.a. Hendrik Weber) played a catapulting live set that went from peak to peak swiftly. Employing numerous live tricks and synths, Weber truly shined on our shore. Todd Gys led into Weber with a gathering lift of ambient techno, while DJ Die Young opened with fire and jumped on at the end for a last-minute blast.

The production on Speaking In Code is humming along like a machine. Now with a Sundance-fueled deadline, lots of people are getting involved. Thank you.

We’ve also put up the teaser trailer here, here, here and here.

The subculture we have on film is radically changing with the digital times. Its entire art is informed by digitalia: bits, bytes and networks of knowledge.

Beatport.com being the prime example. An easy-to-use DJ source, it also doubles as a consumer site, where you can pick up brand new dance jams. Another subject of the film is Mutek. Both have joined up to offer you free music:

Click above to get the tracks. It’s worth it to register — free 320k music from Pantha Du Prince, Robag Wruhme, Digitaline, Heartthrob (and more) is hard to resist.

Here’s two to pique your interest. MyMy was mentioned by our guest Mr. Weber as a bit of a wild sound. And they come through inna ambient dub style:

MyMy - “Pelourinho”

While DirtyBird founder and capitan plays wiggle-house like none other:

Claude VonStroke - “Beware Of The Bird (Original Mix)”

Download those but sign up to Beatport. It’s a clever idea well executed.

Bonus post! With all the hubbub being generated by Jose Gonzales’ cover of Massive Attack’s “Teardrop” we thought we’d add to the stir with this, a remix from Minilogue, the fantastic minimal anthem guru who showed up twice in our travels to film in Europe:

Massive Attack - “Teardrop (Minilogue Remix)”

In 6 weeks, the fellow we blogged about two years ago comes to town. X thine calendar:
