Living On Video – February 2013

Living on Video returned in 2013 with an event at Elektrowerkz upstairs room. Three bands (Hotgothic, Luxury Stranger and Partly Faithful) and six DJs, with myself and Robert Cowlin (of Terminal Gods) guesting on this occasion. My own set came at midnight – short but sweet, and technically one of the most satisfying sets I’ve ever played.

The Jam – Eaten Trifles (that’s what I call it)
The Fall – Mr Pharmacist

Nightrain

Here’s my setlist from Nightrain. Be assured it is only a temporary deviation from the norm for me, not a sudden change in direction, but I did enjoy it, I do like ALL these songs and I would do it a few more times if the chance came up.

8:30pm-9:15pm – Album-Oriented Rock

No point playing the big anthems before everyone’s had a drink or two, so I decided to play what might otherwise be called ‘The Old Grey Whistle Set’.

Neo-Noir – September 2012

A return to Neo-Noir’s original venue, and a midnight set from me. Due to requests prior to the night and various ‘Ibiza Floor’ discussions during the previous week, I decided to focus (for the first half at least) on 90s dance crossover classics. The second half of the set focused on more scene-focused output, including (amazingly!) my first airing of a track from VNV Nation’s seminal ‘Empires’ album.
