Spells Disaster…
Accidentally Brilliant (2004), 7m46s [excerpt]
Track 1 from Spells Disaster…
CD: Mutek_rec (2004) MTK FAB03

Originally bursting on to the scene with their contribution to the Montréal Smoked Meat Compilation, and a much caned remix for fellow Montréal sound butcher Akufen on Force Inc Music Works in 2002, Crackhaus (Stephen Beaupre and Scott Monteith) are set to unleash another fine collection of cheeky dancefloor rockers for the MUTEK label just in time for this year’s festival.

Having spent the last year dazzling dancefloors in Chile, Mexico, and various points across Europe and North Amercia with their unrelenting, slapstick live performances, “Spells Disaster” takes the Crackhaus formula refined on last year's “Blame Canada” EP for Montréal's Musique Risquée imprint to new heights, with more gurggling basslines, sampler tomfoolery, and down home country hooks then you can shake a stick at.

Rounding out this excerpt of "the story so far" with a surprise ending, the brothers Crackhaus have also enlisted fellow Montréalers Egg, Mike Shannon, The Mole and Vincent Lemieux to contribute their own intepretations of several of the included tracks, making "Spells Disaster" a must have collection for discerning techno and house DJs looking to inject a little humour into their crates. The comedy hit of the summer? We certainly think so…
