Flashback!

About a week ago an old friend called and asked me if I could do him a favour. He’s a dj and we worked in the same club like 2 years ago. He broke his hand and wanted me to do his set on saturday. I hadn’t touched any piece of dj equipment in about one and a half year but fuck it, I said I’ll do it. The overall sitch was kinda bad. I had turntables, I didn’t have records. So I decided to go another way and use may Laptop with Ableton Live. I knew Live from previous projects so it was easy for me to set everything up. For the techenthusiasts my setup consisted of:

- Apple Macbook with Live6 (for some strange reason Live runs faster on my Macbook than it does on my Macbook Pro)

- Apogee Duet Audio Interface (sounds awesome)

- Behringer BCF2000 Midi Controller (for adjusting track volume and Play/Stop/Cue)

- Behringer BCR2000 Midi Controller (for selecting Tracks and samples / adjusting fx)

- Korg Kaospad KP2 (for „touching the music)

- Line6 Delay Modeller DL4 (great delay and loop sampler)

- Line6 Filter Modeller FM4 (for filter sounds)

- whole lot of cables (for connecting everything up)

As a lot of people asked me after my set, here’s the complete playlist:

I added some video footage, recorded by the Isight camera in my laptop and my friends carrying a camcorder. I mixed the original music videos into it so that it’s at least not that boring.
