Codex Europa @ Level X 1, Electrowerkz, 28.04.07.

This was my return to the fray after too long a gap. Many thanks to Gaya for the invite. This was possibly the dodgiest set up I've encountered, in a small makeshift alcove downstairs. The good side of this was that the confined space created a storming atmosphere as the night went on.

The soundcheck was fine but when it came to my first set most of it was wiped out by static and the disruption to the set up from the previous act. With help from Paul (Eva 3) my next (two!) sets went ahead amidst the general euphoric vodka-swigging, pitched-up deck-colliding mayhem.

This was a mix of EBM, minimal techno, schranz, doomcore, industrial and even Goth which worked pretty well. Some of the later ones were played back to back with Edu (I think). This was a very rough mix, but it brought me back into mixing and it was a great night (for all sorts of reasons). The order is (naturally) approximate...
