Yeah, I know, this is why you're here. Fine! Take my tunes. If you like it, please share it around - email links to your friends, spread it on the P2P networks, burn it to CD and leave it in peoples' cars, whatever. This music wants to be free.
My main musical strength is definitely my live-pa shows tho, so if you want to hear my techno properly, let your favourite promoters know it. I'd like nothing better than to come bring you some techno in person, on a nice big soundsystem.
I am currently working on my Spring 2007 Live-PA Demo CD - expect to see it here soon!
I promised the [inertia labs] folks that I'd bring down an Edirol R4 and record all the sets of the evening, but when I went to Long&McQuade to rent the aforementioned R4, they informed me that they'd sold it - in fact, they'd sold it mere days after my last rental of it, six months prior. D'OH! Instead, I rented an Edirol FA-101, a nice little firewire audio interface, and brought my ThinkPad along for the ride. The recordings turned out great - it wasn't my best set, but at least it got recorded properly.
It's all terribly out of date now, but in the interest of keeping crap online for historical purposes, this pretty accurately represents how my studio productions (of my live-pa tracks) sounded in January of 2005.
I was invited to play at a small rave thrown by the "Dopamine Rebound" crew in a dance studio in downtown Vancouver on November 27th; a costume party with about 150 people. It went pretty well, tho the space was very hot! Apparently the Fire Marshall says that capacity is 150, even though you could easily pack 300 people in there... but given the fact that the windows didn't open, I certainly wouldn't want to be there with 300 people - as it was, the humidity was insane.
I played my usual hour-long set, with a couple of minor screwups, but nothing that anyone really noticed as far as I could tell. My timeslot was pretty killer, 2am-3am - Crazy Dave's soundsystem powered the place nicely.
DJ Slipmind, a close friend from college years ago, put me in touch with DJ Tommyknuckles in Halifax. We were going to be in NB to visit with the folks anyway, so for a few bucks in extra baggage fees, we brought the gear along for the ride. Man, Halifax parties *hard*! The show was in Reflections Cabaret, which was the second nicest club I've ever performed in. About 350 people showed up, and were very supportive; this was definitely one of my most fun sets to date.
This track wasn't quite finished yet at this point - it had a good start, good breakdown, good rebuild... but it didn't have an ending yet, so I just jumped into another track at the end. The "Let's All Go To The Lobby" track is faded, btw, it's waaaaay too epic-cheesecore for my tastes. :)
Soundproof throws a mean party, as was totally frickin' demonstrated at "Trancemission 7", their annual free party, held in 2004 at the legendary "Mile 36" campground outside of Squamish, BC. My set was from 4:00 - 5:00, and I was playing the sunrise in front of glacier-capped mountains, on the beach beside a cyan glacial river. This is a cut from that set - pardon the recording quality, it's a stereo mic thing again, but this time from the top of scaffolding at the back of the dancefloor.
The MP3 starts off with "Collaborate", a personal fave involving samples of Ghandi from "Clone High", and the namesake sample, our old pal Vanilla Ice. Second in the setlist is a rendition of "Daytrip", with a long bridge/segway into um, speed garage, I guess. Third comes a newer one, entitled "Complex", which quickly became my fave track to play that summer, and of course, bringing up the end of the set, "Seamripper", a rousing good track with a sample from Orbital, which has now been replaced by several different samples at different parties.
Also present in this recording is the one-time-only performance of DJ Ross "Granolaboy" Kakushke's classic "Where's The Bass" sketch, as performed and recorded him and I, drunk in his living room one spring night. :)
