Recording of me at Süd Electronic, 4th October 2008
This is the archive of yesterday’s radio broadcast on Duff Paddy’s Eclectic Electric show on Purple Radio, which is a recording of my performance at Süd Electronic last October. Apologies about the bass feedback from around 70 minutes until the end. I switched from Traktor Sctratch to vinyl during this bit of the set, and for once digital proved more resilient than vinyl, as the sound was feeding back with real vinyl but it didn’t pose a problem with time-encoded files. Also, as this was the opening set of the night so levels at the beginning aren’t perfect, blah blah blah, but hopefully it’s still enjoyable.

Antinomy III
This is probably the first time I used an approximately even mixture of digital and vinyl. It’s almost all house. Some old stuff, some new. It was actually a recording of my preparation for the Süd party on 4th April 2009. Clocks in at just under 2 hours.

Antinomy II
Done a new mix. It’s a one-off, clocking in at just under two and a half hours. Probably 50% house, 50% other. I’ve only listened to it once, but I think it came out pretty much like I intended.

This one’s a bit lengthy at just under three hours. Lots of house and techno along with some other bits. Unfortunately the second hour was probably a bit too ambitious, but hopefully it still stands up.

8118 Mix
New mix! Feels like a mix tape to me somehow. I purposefully kept it under 80 minutes to fit it on CD anyway. I think everything but the Plastikman track is pre-’97.
