Yesterday’s Shadow – November 2017

DJ Setlist

A return to DJing after a couple of months off, and back to Yesterday’s Shadow. By now you might know what to expect from me, but even here were a few surprises. One was the quite-unexpected request for Dernière Volonté (couldn’t resist that one). The other was the loss of Malcolm Young of AC/DC earler that day – with his brother George also having left us a few weeks ago, I felt duty-bound to get some kind of tribute into the evening’s proceedings.

Ich Will

DJ Setlist

Returned to the DJ booth at The Lounge/Nightclub Kollis at ICH WILL – the first Rammstein-themed London club night. Technical issues resulted in my first set being extended by an hour, plus a little extra at the close of the night. A quite amazing night all being told – Here’s what I played.

Set 1

The extended nature of my set meant I played one track from every Rammstein album in this set, plus a couple more from singles and a number of non-R+ requests.

Tragedy >Four<

DJ Setlist

This was the fourth edition of my Tragedy >For Us< event, and also the first Terminates Here promoted event to feature live bands, with Black Light Ascension, Personal Propaganda Machine and DJ Translight all playing live sets (I recommend you check all of them out!). DJs Nathan Nothing and Kriegslok also returned, DJing between the bands and Nathan also joining me to play the afterparty. Everyone involved did a brilliant job – it really couldn’t have gone better,

The timing of my sets and the audience meant my own sets were a little more ‘populist’ than normal, though still keeping largely to the music policy. As the event was also a celebration of International EBM Day (24/2), there were a higher-than-normal number of Front 242 tracks in the set.
