Richie Hawtin was the bomb last night!!! It was great
seeing him in a smaller venue. And I rarely ever get
to hear good minimal techno out (these days), he
rinsed a few Advent tunes which were great. The time I
saw him before he played everything from pounding
techno to Chain Reactionish stuff. I would have liked
to have heard him get into some deeper material, but
it was all good.
Tonight DECODER & TECHNICAL ITCH are spinning @
Konkrete Jungle. Located at Dreams and Spaceland -
1717 Silver Lake Blvd. This show will be great!!
