No.. it was basically a DJ set
He had a couple of decks and a laptop... I wasn't in gear spotting
mode, but a friend informs me he's using final scratch. To what extent
I'm not sure. I'm one of those freaks that tends to enjoy a DJ set more
than a live set though, so I was a happy camper. 'Live' performances of
electronic dance music usually feel a bit 'press play on tape' to me,
and are less flexible in terms of playing to the crowds mood. Final
scratch is an exciting piece of software to me because it blurs that
line between a live set and dj set a little bit further.
Anyhow... it was an awesome show, and there was a good turnout (300
people perhaps? A nice sized crowd anyway) so hopefully we'll see some
more acts coming down this way.
