Some of the more hip-hop influenced Autechre tracks - "Lowride", "Eutow", "Draun Quarter", "Pen Expers"

Eutow YES everything else MEH

I have made a minor alteration to my Richard d James ban

The very first track of the set should be Funny Little Man

The track played at the exact median of the set should be AFX 114

As above re: last track

Those are the only rdj things allowed and they can only occur as directed above

FSOL is your nu-god

i dunno that seems to open the floodgates to the Orb, Orbital etc

Basic Channel - Q1.1/I

I will probably end up playing a bit more pop-oriented stuff by the end to keep the throngs happy, so Orbital and Orb etc could well happen

"Frosch" by Mouse on Mars always seems to go over well. Particularly the edited version

dunno if any Autechre would fit, maybe "Slip" ?

I'm definitely playing Arch Carrier. Possibly Slip

Actually I'm listening to the rest of the Anti EP now and it holds up suuuper well.

tbh I have never witnessed anyone trying to dance to IDM. It’s not like I’m going to dance parties all the time (or ever) so I believe that it happens. But I’m having difficulty imagining it!

I would totally go to this to hear the classics on a sound system btw, sounds like a fun challenge to make a real dance set out of it.

Oh yeah we all demand a recording of this right?

I recorded the whole set. It was rather low-key, thanks to a last minute venue change - just a small room in a pub. Still my friends and I had fun revisiting some of the classics and pissing off the locals.

This is a long mix, with three DJs basically swapping in and out from each other all the way through, so I don't have a tracklisting... but, enjoy!

six months pass...

I was super surprised to see Leafcutter John show up on FACT's "Against the Clock" series. The track he comes up with is really nice, but I'm even more gobsmacked by how dude is making music:

i saw him using that light sensitive box at cafe oto in 2014. he was using blinking christmas lights as a trigger.

(actually, it was 2012 - BEAM night, full of people using odd things as inputs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/marikakochi/6947759946/in/photostream/ )

sure but Leafcutter J is no dillettante, he STUCK WITH IT

but everybody calls me, (lukas), Sunday, 21 April 2019 20:48 (four years ago) link

yes, and he's made a nice box for it (it was just wires in 2012). the idea / performance has stuck with me all these years too.

the other people were using things like iphone accelerometers and those elasticated bands they use for medical sensors, attached to his arms and legs so his movements were translated into music.

video here too (LCJ starts about 1:50)

I love the idea of random bleed between parameters, and of course inverting the normal "MIDI triggers pretty lights" to make the visualization the control signal.
