Here is the recording of my #techno#dj set at Null Sector, #emf2024 Thanks to all that came! And if you missed it, make sure to check it out if you are into Techno :)
My #Fedivision 2024 #Techno track "Synthetic Synchronicity" is now live and free on Bandcamp and Ko-fi! It’ll also drop on all streaming services sometime next week, but won’t be free there. Anyway, enjoy the vibes! Oh, and by the way, #Fedivision is hella cool! 🎶✨
C'est le WE et on part en Belgique avec Amelie Lens. Native de Vilvorde, DJ et productrice de sa propre sauce, elle vous emmènera dans toute la finesse de son univers à la fois très Acide (les amateurs de TB303 et de Commodore 64 vont kiffer, elle est fetishiste des sons de ces petites merveilles) et lourd avec du gros groove Hardtek et des leads supers trancy qui collent le tout dans la froideur de notre époque.
Fan de Nine Inch Nails, et autres Boys Noise, de Psy-Trance aussi, elle ancre tout dans une démarche mélodique pleine de complexité et dans la techno... ça fait du bien.
Yesterday's gig was a blast. I hadn't played on stage for about nine years, and only after I finished did I realize that it was actually my debut as Sitka.
I recorded my set, so I'll upload it a little later
"Released on 1st January 1994, Robert Hood’s ‘Minimal Nation’ saw the pioneering Detroit producer distill techno’s futuristic intent, creating a stripped-back, raw, and percussive record that became a defining work of the minimal techno sound."
As you sit with your cyberdeck in front of the dataterm, trying to hack the corpo building, you realize that you are missing the right music. Suddenly, you remember that you downloaded a few audio files from an artist in Berlin from the old-net, an artist specializing in the perfect music for netrunning sessions.
You upload the tracks to your cyberdeck and let yourself be immersed in the digital world by the driving beats and pulsating synths. It's time to start your hack and infiltrate the corpo system - with the right music in your ears, you are unstoppable!
Video from my last live set at Iklectik online now: https://youtu.be/1EfWWZHavuI?si=2QSbyFI_MK6x02xE
I included various new devices and builds in the performance, some of which worked better than others.
worm gear long-loop percussion
new modular synth sound sources (slight bugs)
magnetic tape record (minor failure)
multiple webcams for projection and documentation
strobe light kick drum trigger via rotator cuff (mostly ineffective)
Enjoyed the performance though, great atmosphere in a packed room - nice you can see folks dancing in the video. A great send off to Iklectik's Waterloo space (this was the penultimate event there).
