Live sets from 2006 now up on Youtube


After only 3 years, I've finally ripped, re-encoded and uploaded some choice sets from 2006. It was after 2 years of the Abstract Science residency at Sonotheque, and we all were really steady in the groove. Chris Widman and Dave Siska were bringing great artists every month: I really enjoyed this set with Atomly especially. The thing with 'Future Music' is, it can be 3 years later, and the stuff still sounds fresh, even if it is more familiar now to more people.

The visual material is more accessible than the drum-n-bass stuff I have up there - but Merkaba is all about covering an extremely wide range of styles - there are some more wild d-n-b sets from that time that are on the way . . . in a month or three.

On review there are a few VJ faux pas
in there, but live sets are rarely flawless, and the little gremlins served as reminders not to do some of that stuff anymore. [ahem - V4 quad-symmetry, sorry folks].
