One week until the show in Calgary, and the set is *finally* playable... well, almost.
Currently I have twelve finished tracks, with another four partially loaded up - the four will be worked on later on, when I have more free time. Basically, all that is left now is practice, practice, find and kill bugs, practice, practice, and more practice.
The only real hole in the set right now is the lack of transitions (ie. how to get from one song to the next, there's a million ways!), but the only thing I can do about that is practice until I know the material backwards and forwards. That's a *huge* part of building and maintaining dancefloor energy - I can partially rely on the fact that the new techno is damned good, but nothing can replace *really* knowing the set, and that can only come with time. With the set coming up next weekend, there's just enough time to spare.
Really though, I don't think I've ever played a set where I wasn't thinking that I could have used an extra two weeks of practice. If you don't get out there and actually *play*, you can spend years building the perfect set in your basement...
