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.

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/ )

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.

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.
