The Toronto Star dives into the latest release from legendary Montréal DJ and producer, Kid Koala. Writer Ben Rayner described The Storyville Mosquito as “a live theatrical cinema experience” and a “high-concept project.”
The Storyville Mosquito made its Toronto premiere Oct. 20 at the Bluma Appel Theatre, and is now gearing up for world tour that was originally scheduled to begin three years ago. Confirmed cities and ticket links can be found at https://kidkoala.com/tour.
“There are people who dream, there are people who get things done and there are people who get their dreams done. Kid Koala gets his dreams done. One could argue, yes, that getting his dreams — at least the musical dreams he hears in his head — done in real time, night after night, is exactly what the truly singular, so-far-beyond-mere-turntablism Montreal ‘turntablist’ born Eric San has been doing since he first started artfully slashing, scarring, stretching and sampling other people’s records together into unimaginably unusual-yet-musical forms as a scratch DJ and abstract hip-hop producer of no small international repute during the mid-1990s.”
