First 2012 Selection

Five of the most interesting techno-related tracks at the moment. The PAS track is older but great to hear again and slightly stronger than the Liebing and Dettmann remixes backing it.

Dadub – Perseverance (Stroboscopic Artefacts)

Endless – Clearing (Electric Deluxe)

Planetary Assault Systems – Function 4 (Mote Evolver)

Svreca – Jade Orphx Remix (Semantica)

Terence Fixmer - The Arrival (Iori Reshape)

Milk + Lead Party 21.10.2011

This turned out to be a very long and exhilarating night with a great atmosphere in a doomed and shadowy temporary space. I was invited to mix a soundtrack for a ritual performance and started slowly before playing an intense ritual section with four tracks running simultaneously. After this things accelerated but I was asked to play for much longer than expected and ended up following my instincts, even dropping two Laibach tracks to great effect. Thanks again to Milk + Lead for the invitation.
