october news + sounds

Currently listening to:  intergalacticfm.com IFM ONE “Westcoast Non-Stop Action”
Warning:  this station is pure crack for electro/disco/oldschool rap/miami bass fiends.

Thanks to everybody who came out to Cherrywood to hear my set last night.  It was cool meeting new DIY/electro people and seeing old friends.  The set didnt get recorded, but here’s a track pieced together from rehearsal tapes.

rehearsal oct 2009

I like to build something new for every gig.  This show I added a 10×10 drum trigger routing matrix.  I found this killer switch matrix at the Black Hole of Los Alamos (r.i.p. Ed Grothus).  That means it was probably originally purchased by Los Alamos National Labs for nuclear weapons research… death rock indeed.

Here’s whats coming up…
