Mirror Man Festival Round up (28.03.09)

I guested last month at Mirror Man Festival in Winchester. The electro all dayer was headlined by a Gary Numan DJ set and regular readers of the blog will know how hyped that got me.
I always DJ my nuts off when I play in Winchester, don’t ask my why but it always goes ridiculously well. [...]

Electrocious Brighton (27.05.08) Setlist

Well I’m back from Brighton and I’m a sniffling shattered mess but it was totally worth it.
The third Electrocious outing in Brighton, although slightly less well attended than our last extravaganza was no less surreal. My highlight of the night being when David from Freudstien decided to strip down to his boxers to introduce a [...]

Monto Water Rats (07.05.08) Setlist

Phew! This one was hot. Pin Me Down were unbelievably good. If they’re album is as strong as their live set we could have the indie/dance cross over hit of 2008 on our hands.

Of course having the place piled high with label staff from Kitsune (home to the lovely PMD,) gave me the excuse (not [...]

Monto Water Rats (31.03.08) Setlist

Monday night was very very busy and very hectic. Enjoyed this one big time. Cheers if you came down and wore holes in your shoes. In particular I loved test driving the new Long blondes and Ladytron tracks on the decks. If you’ve caught them air your opinions in comment form.
I span at Monto Wednesday [...]

Monto Water Rats (27.03.08) Setlist

Thursday, as sets go, in its 6 hour glory was hardcore. Monto was heaving. Nice to see so many people enjoying the tracks. Particularly loved the Roxy Music singalong right at the end of the night. (Nearly as good at the lone guy robot dancing to Whitey last week). The set list went like this:
Party [...]

[Our] Friends Electric

Last week I caught Gary Numan performing his 1978 LP replicas at few places, but this post isn’t about GN. This post is about those who braved the scorn of the numanoid legion to open for Numan on tour.
SOUTH CENTRAL opened for Numan at the Brighton Dome. Hooded up in matching black tops I’ll be [...]

Monto Water Rats (18.03.08) Setlist

I got a lot out if this week at Monto. People kept apologizing to me for the size of the crowd; if it was a small crowd for the gig I couldn’t really comment as I was by the decks in the front bar all night. As far as I’m concerned it was a great [...]

Blows dust off… Oh it’s that rough & ready mix I did in January 08!

I’ve finally managed to sort out all the software and file-sharey bits I needed to whack up my VERY rough working demo mix from January 08.
It’s likely that this will never see the light of day now apart from here but at least you still get to enjoy it.

In the mix we have:

Monto Water Rats (10.03.08) Setlist et al.

Monday was a bit of a sleeper agent; coming out of nowhere and turning out romper stomper.
In particular YOU need Ou est le swimming pool? in you life. These guys are amazing and pulled out some of the freshest noises on stage I’ve heard for ages. Very E1 sounding. The stand out track for me [...]
