We did this when we played at a couple of raves...it sort of worked,
but we only had 2 weeks to prepare, so it was a bit rushed. We had
lots of "songs" on a seqeuncer. These songs consisted of lots of little
loops of various bits and styles that could be punched in and out of
the mix as we played. on top of this we had several synths we could
dub over the top, a few drum loops on machines, with some old
hardware sequencers sync'ed up. The DJ would mix records in every
now and then (did a terrific job too - nice one wiz!), he
then play a couple of tracks. When we were setup for the next
set of "loops" he mixed us back in. It's hard work, and you really
have to practice to make it worthwhile. Be prepared to make some
new loops on the spot!
Cheers t' everyone,
Mark
