Renaissance IV

DJ Setlist

Renaissance IV – A total of 23 different bands, projects and solo artists played the event, as well as 6 DJs. Credit must go not only to all artists involved, but especially Ays from Die Kur for bringing such an ambitious project to fruition.

Anyway, my own DJ stint “filled the gaps” between the final three bands. A pretty diverse selection, but here’s how it all pieced together

Leaves Eyes – Norwegian Lovesong
Ostara – Bavaria
Blood Axis – The Hangman and the Papist
Death In June – The Calling Mk2

Sunshine Blind – Regodless
Gitane DeMone – Stars Of Trash (Guitar Version)
Psychophile – Vice Girl

Judas Priest – Breaking The Law
Metallica – Enter Sandman
Pantera – Mouth For War

ABBA – Thank You For The Music

Neo-Noir – The Final Countdown

DJ Setlist

The final Neo-Noir event occured at the London Stone. With two of the regular DJs absent, it was down to myself, Wozza and Paladin to provide the music. Despite early technical issues, we ended up seeing the club out in some kind of haphazard style.

Here’s what I played – as it was the last night, I took the chance to play a few ‘unexpected’ songs that wouldn’t normally feature at the event. It was a real ‘what the hell, let’s have some fun’ kind of event – after a run of genre-specific events, it was a great chance to let rip and see what worked.

Set 1 – 11pm-Midnight

Ultraviolence – Hardcore Motherfucker (the next two songs were mixed into this songs intermissions…..)
Dive – No, Nothing
Klutae – Desert Storm
System:FX – Stay In Your Home
