DJ Coverband

Mathew on Jul 24th 2009 09:37 am

I am going to form a dj cover band called Orbital When They Were Awesome.

Me and my partner are going to mock up racks of gear and wear the little head lamps and play songs from classic orbital live sets. It will be just like as if you were at a mid 90′s rave like Glastonbury listening to Chime for the first time. (Your choice of 1994 or 2004 versions)
The opening act would either be Ardfloor, or Underwhirled. Possibly both.

6 hours of classic techno played exactly like you remember (or want to remember) it.

PROMOTERS!!! Act now and receive a free after hours party with Doc Martini performing such classics as “Unlock the House tape one side b” and “Wicked 09/15/95 last half of side a”

Upcoming Gigs: 10/10/09 Plawtin. 6 hours of classic Windsor Techno playing in Detroit REPLAYED LIVE in Seattle.

uninfected techno

I am playing a techno rave party in a couple weeks. Adam X and Brian Zentz, Brandon Plank and myself are playing. Spirals, the promoter has a massive fuck-off turbosound rig, imported from the Greatest of Britain.

I sat down with Dan Dagen aka Spirals last week to talk shop, go through a substantial record collection and try to ignore the stacks of speaker cabinets that take up 60% (seriously) of his living room.

He pulled up a stack of records, I pressed record on my laptop and off he went, playing an hours worth of techno in what seemed like 20 minutes. Maybe I am just hungry for beats, but he played everything I needed to hear that day.

After, we played every dj’s favorite game: “have you heard this one?” for 2 hours. Yes.

Desperation makes a man go crazy.

I need to go fishing. Its been 2 months. I NEED TO GO FISHING.

I still have not sent in my (blank) catch card so I cannot get a license yet, but I hope to do that this week. Between moving and working. Right

I was just pointed out this video by someone on my local fishing board.

Fishing for Asian carp. With a bow and arrow. Of course, right?
