This mix was recorded to be played at the Compound in San Francisco on Saturday December 5th. Notorious for a 16 channel system that is tweaked for techno, I put together a set of deep warehouse techno influenced by the recent marriage of the Birmingham and Berlin/Berghain sounds. As a Birmingham native with a long history with Berlin I am a little happy about this development, as music is possibly the only way I could adequately reconcile these diametrically different places!

Spring shot out the cannon on the weekend of April 4th and 5th. Saturday night the Horse Cow a burning man santcuary in West Sacramento hosted various bands Vivien Bovell and Mike C. spinning disco while wild antics took place on the grounds. Naked folks of all shapes and sizes slithered out of a cotton tube to be sprayed from a rigged paint canon. I don’t know who’s bright idea this was but it achieved a gawk.
Sunday the 5th Club Sandwich revived the live music at Mosswood Park Ampitheatre. David Scott Stone, sound maker, and of Get Hustle fame introduced the crowd to his Electric Long Thin Wire. An interactive copper wire to be shaken and pulled that emulates the sound of thunder clapping your face.
