This is 100000000000% more interesting than Tycho's annual burning man dawn mix as posted around the internet.

Caught the closing “Watching Trees” takeover at Field Manouvers a few weeks back and it was full of brilliant moments - perfect end to the festival.

posted mostly for humour content, someone's been monkeying around with your tune, stirm:

Some funny edits/mash-ups from that guy. New to me. Some pretty hip sources. Mass? A dance edit of Henry Badowski's Baby Sign Here With Me? Not sure how I feel about it all.

he's done some great stuff, that one just made me laugh because of the place that booker t tune has in british (or should that be english?) culture

(would say more, but don't want to spoil the surprise)

(probably have already though)

ha ha! i'm surprised it took so long for anyone to do that. first few times i ever played the liquid liquid track several people asked "what was the track that sounded a bit like the cricket theme?". for non Brits, soul limbo is synonmyous with cricket here as it is / was the tv theme tune for a long time.

mr bleaching agent is a good pal of mine. he told me he had done a ton of edits but i hadn't got as far as hearing this one yet.

listened to it again and it actually bangs, would totally lose my mind if I heard that out at just the right moment.

just clocked the lifetones sample on the 4th track on that release, bloody lovely that!

^^ brighton crew are mobilising. anyone else?

Yes, but you knew that already.

:)

almost sold out.

Yeah you must be delighted! and very relieved. congrats!

yes to both!! thanks.

it was the chips that did it

Got my Optimo package from monorail today. And only a dozen emails from the royal mail tracking its progress along the way!

v. happy you picked that up. royal mail have gone email mad in recent times - i am bombarded by their updates.

Also looking forward to the chips.

Thought this might be the right place to ask, but is the Naum Gabo LP getting widely distributed in UK?

Bandcamp are charging international shipping, and I can see Phonica has vinyl copies (Juno out of stock already), but I have a local store I like to order from if its possible.

Sounding great from what I have heard.

it deffo has UK distribution. i don't know who the distributor is though i'm afraid.

Enjoyed listening back to this newly uploaded set from Field Maneuvers last year: https://soundcloud.com/resident-advisor/ra-live-optimo-field-maneuvers-uk

Unless my memory is playing tricks on me there was even more after this recording ends though?

i think that was right near the end no? i have to confess i don't recall how the set ended.

Well it was the end of a rather heavy weekend so I could very well have a loose grip on the facts! I trust you :D

One thing I will say is that one of my friends still hasn’t forgiven you both for teasing “Boys” and then not playing it! You know what to do at Watching Trees…

ha! i don't recall, that either and was 100% sober.

Very excited to see y'all are coming to Austin next week

it has been a long time. excited to be back and also to hopefully catch the eclipse.

Everyone has eclipse mania!
