FORMAT: Colin Benders / Henning Baer / Measure Divide / Geneva

October 11. Thanksgiving weekend. No work Monday.

For this instalment, Colin Benders makes his Toronto debut, bringing his full modular system to FORMAT. Everything happens live. Every kick, bassline and transition created in the room.

His lockdown streams produced over a thousand hours of recordings, Floaty Things and the five-part album Rigmarole. In his own words, “if I don’t release anything, I’m free to do everything.”

Henning Baer co-founded Grounded Theory in 2009. The party grew into one of the city’s most respected techno institutions, with Baer behind the decks as its resident.

His records have appeared on Sonic Groove, Nonplus and K209. In 2016, he launched MANHIGH. More than fifteen years of Berlin techno, record collecting and razor-sharp mixing arriving behind the decks.
