December 2013 – Terminates Here

For the second consecutive year, I finished my DJ year at Reptile. Whilst I was originally scheduled to do three sets, power supply issue caused the night to end an hour early and hence only two sets were completed (the final set was going to be a run of 80s synthpop classics, if you were wondering). The two sets I ended up playing went like this – as it was New Years Eve, nothing less that undisputed classics made it in.

11pm-11:30pm

Diary Of Dreams – The Plague
The Cruxshadows – Deception
Clan Of Xymox – There’s No Tomorrow
Wolfsheim – The Sparrows And The Nightingales
New Order – True Faith 94
Gary Numan – Are ‘Friends’ Electric? (Live Version)

3:30am-4am

Leftfield feat. Lydon – Open Up
Underworld – Cowgirl
Front 242 – Welcome To Paradise
Die Krupps vs Nitzer Ebb – The Machineries of Joy
Front Line Assembly – Mindphaser
DAF – Der Mussolini

The fourth Alternative Bring’n’Buy of 2013, my third one as DJ. This time, myself and Scott McMahon decided to tackle it as a 2-piece. He handled guitar music, I mainly handle stuff played on synths. Here’s my side of what was played.
