not a laptop or totally live performance but Did anyone catch Richie
Hawtin's Decks/FX and a 909 tour? I heard him at Simon's in Gainesville, FL
and was blown away. His djing is one thing but he had beats flying all over
the room. all sorts of panning shuffling delays that would just chase each
other into the corner then bounce back out...courtesy of a DP4 I think. He
played/spun for like 7 hours. it was one of the best live/dj sets I've ever
heard...any recordings I've heard of this tour just don't come close to what
I heard on the spot.
