Codex Europa Setlist, ms café, Muzeum Sztuki, Łódź, 23-06-09.

This was an experimental set played in the unlikely minimal surroundings of the ms cafe. The list is reconstructed from memory but basically correct. The sound was excellent and I was completely unaware of the heavy summer storm raging outside as I played.

Codex Europa Setlist, Terradisco 21st Feb. 2009

This was a great night when I got to play at least an hour more than scheduled to cover gaps. The CD players were surprisingly flaky but the sound was great. As the Ill FM room was located by the entrance anyone coming into the place was exposed to the Ill FM virus. The extra time meant that even more innocent kids on their way to the dubstep room got probably their first (and only?) exposure to industrial, power electronics, gabber, Slovak minimal techno and more. I was exhausted by the end, but spurred on by the dedicated legion of the damned urging me on. The SCH track was played twice... but I didn't hear any complaints! Thanks to Tamon for inviting me.

Codex Europa Hinouema Setlist 22-11-08

These tracks were played in between and after the acts at The Grosvenor. More of a dark ambient/industrial set to fit the line-up (CON-DOM, Stab Electronics, ANTIchildLEAGUE, Pain Nail). I did step up the pace for a while after CON-DOM though. Two Starfish Pool tracks were played but then SP is such a powerful and under-rated artist. Amplified Tones is his masterpiece.

Linija Mass – Genus Ferrum

BJ Nilsen & Stilupsteypa - En Dåre Kan Fråga Mer Än Tre Visa Kan Svara

Autopsia - Night Landscape XVI

Autopsia - Radical Machine VI

Nurse With Wound – Swansong

In Death’s Throes – Seize Command

Converter – Denogginizer

VVM – Symmetric

Ars Moriendi – Stimulation
