DJ Setlist

In addition, it was my first ever laptop DJ set (barring a brief test session last year). Despite a couple of flaws, the kit essentially held together long enough for me to play the following tunes, before each band and then a few songs to fill in before Slimelight kicked in.

DJ Setlist

The follow-up to Dark 7 – book seven UK bands and host an afternoon and evening of live music in the Camden Underworld. Despite putting the first band on stage a mere 10 minutes after opening the doors, they managed to pull a great crowd and the venue stayed busy for the duration. Special credit goes to the guys from Machine Rox, who organised the whole event. As for me, I was doing the bit between the bands….here’s what was played.

Dark 7 2011

DJ Setlist

Dark 7 was an event organised by the members of the band Machine Rox. The concept was to book a number of UK scene bands (the only overseas act, Terror Error, withdrew before the event) and hold a one day mini-festival in the Camden Underworld.

System:FX were called into headline, although the first four bands on the bill were completely new to me. A scan through various online profiles and chance to watch soundcheck gave me a chance of devising a vaguely relevant set before each band came on, and despite an occasionally sticking ‘Play’ button, it seemed to go quite well. So here’s what was played.

Digicore – We Will Protect You
Godflesh – Like Rats
Concrete Lung – Destructive
Revolting Cocks – Key To The City (Vegas Mix)
16 Volt – Cables + Wires
Pitchshifter – Please Sir

<Ghost In The Static>

ClockDVA – The Sonology of Sex II
This Morn’Omina – Epoch (ccf)
Mind.in.a.box – Certainty

<Futurefrenetic>

PAL – Gelöbnis (Terrorfakt Remix)
Aphex Twin – Phloam
Future Sound Of London – We Have Explosive

<Digital Deformation>

Skinjob – Beauty Is Your Toy
Modulate – Skullfuck

<Cease2Exist>

Gary Numan – Films
Project Pitchfork – K.N.K.A. (Climax Version)
Deviant UK – You Will Burn

<Global Citizen>

Angelspit – 100%
Ayria – The Gun Song
Nachtmahr – Mädchen In Uniform

<Machine Rox>

Be My Enemy – This Is The New Wave
Prodigy – Take Me To The Hospital
Chemical Brothers – Music:Response
The Inkspots – I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire
