Honeydrip, Emma Forgues & King Shadrock^CA/QC

One of the most notable energies of the Montreal underground scene and with releases beginning to make a global impact, Honeydrip is recognized for her creative mixes, high vibes and low end sounds that transcend genres and eras, without leaving aside her Caribbean roots and their electroacoustic background.

Psychotropical, her most recent album, is a tribute to dub, reggae and dancehall from that playful and trippy energy that distinguishes Honeydrip and, as its name indicates, the live version seeks to alter moods, thoughts and perception. Vocalist King Shadrock and visual magician Emma Forgues are her allies in this performance that mixes 3D visual psychedelia with the Rastafari spirit in a powerful concert that already had its premiere in Montreal and its audio recording is a small sample of what the trio will create in MUTEK MX Edition 20.

Honeydrip’s Psychotropical is an homage to dub, reggae, and dancehall, while keeping her signature bassy dancefloor sound. Psychotropic is any drug that affects behavior, mood, thoughts, or perception, and this debut live set from Honeydrip, featuring vocalist King Shadrock and A/V wizard Emma Forgues, is meant to evoke exactly that. The visual experience conceived by Emma will include humanoid shapes created from 3D scans of Honeydrip and King Shadrock's bodies and psychedelic landscapes inspired by nature, velvet, latex, honey, and glass. With thought-provoking Rastafarian themes and liquid sound design, this deep tropical performance will take you through a range of emotions and movements.
