Not the best set I've ever played but it was solid. Enough, I guess. See you in April, perhaps. Impressive live set by Craque this evening, Fen stopped by and got calls from Chris Widman (yes, THE Chris Widman of Abstract Science & Sessions), Mani Miglani, and Babak who was an add and won a CD, also a message I missed from JJ. Back to the music... I really need to expand my the material included in my sets a bit if I'm going to keep doing this. This was pretty much an anthem night for me, which needs to happen sometimes to get the tracks out of the system, right?

Addendum: Craque closed out this set with 2 hours of mind-blowingly cool IDM and tripped out techno. Sounded creative and in the same vein as the recent releases on Force Labs and I think they should try and convince him to put out some of his stuff on a 12" over there. He even pulled off a live rock-solo or two. Contemplative, subtle drifting groovy techno with live samples and developing structure, these songs sounded simulateously polished and spontaneous. Highly recommended.
