Today we have a wee mix from Toronto, Canada-based DJ, blogger, promoter and all-round good guy Brandon Sek, who runs the excellent Curb Crawlers blog.
The mix features lots of this new clicky, minimal house and techno stuff that floats on elephantine 808 subs.

Tecktonik was surely the dumbest craze of the year. Dancing like that belongs in a clinic for the terminally un-awesome, not on the streets doing battle with break-dancers. Other than the dude from Hadouken! It’s hard to imagine anyone outside of Belgium thinking that glam rock new rave vogue-ing was anything other than a catastrophic error in judgement (or perhaps a practical joke). However, everything starts to make sense when you watch this kid do it. Let’s hope it helps misguided tecktonikillers (I mean really, come on) realise that this, like colouring books and baseline, is for children.
