Nope, I know who Sote is, I played a show with him a few months ago in
Sacramento,CA - big guy, impressive beard, hard-fckn'core music. No, I'm
talking about the guy who played before him (shorter, skinny guy, played
some huge stuttering electro beats consumed with layers and layers of
melodic washes, had a partner on-stage with him during the last half of the
set).
I thought his set and the 8fm set were brilliant.
Sote's industrial gabber set sent me outside (I'm not trying to hate, I've
seen him perform a much better, radically different set just a few months
ago), Machine Drum was impressive but reminded me of a less disciplined
Prefuse 73, and FUNKSTÖRUNG was predictably great but ruined by these fruity
middle-aged gothic ravers dancing next to me who thought they were in the
Matrix or some shit. People, I know IDM is hard to dance to, but that does
not give you license to prance around some Renaissance Fair/Tai Chi/Pee-pee
dance. That shit is embarrassing!
Sorry for the tangent, but please, if anyone knows who that opening act was
(or can at least verify that the artist's name is Comute) please let me
know.
Thanks.
