i would agree with pretty much everything you said. pretty dope techno sets.
i was particularly impressed with how beyer played autechre's vletrmx21 (off the garbage release) with some really hard percussive techno. i never thought i would hear autechre used like that. the result was a very deep and dark mix, very scary. i think beyer played a remix of gameform (by joey beltram i think), really nice, but i would have preferred the original.
gaetek played well, but i didnt like certain technical aspects of his set. he played the breakdowns on almost every record for about the first 30 minutes. sure he eq'd a bit, but it was often on just one record. at least gaetek toned it down a little more further into his set and played some interesting melodic stuff, unlike beyer who mostly thumped it the whole time. i would like to get a tape of gaetek to study his style a little more.

hey, this isn't really 313 related but stilll.. it's techno and mills' name will show up.. :) i just got home from seeing beyer and parisio at sona (in montreal), and wow...... beyer started off very i won't say housy, but more on the house tip, and then just ended off with some really hard tech, sounded like new drumcode tracks i've never heard before.. i'm sure there were a few if not a ton of dubs.. but wow.. to end his set he played two copies of this fucking hard ass track, it had a really hard metallic kick with just some crazy highs... and he was going back and forth between them, pulling some tricks, it was really nice to hear.. his mixing overall was really nice.. last time i heard him he played harder for longer and was playing with the eq's a lot.. but tonight was really different. it seemed like he was always in the mix, and not cutting as much between tracks. then again, at sona all you can really hear is bass so.. oh.. he also played "revenge of the jaguar" and i think it was the aztec mystic version, but with the way the highs are in sona i couldn't tell..plus he didn't let it play for very long, maybe 2 minutes and then he was in the mix again. as for gaetano his style was like a complete 180 of beyer's..i was really excited to hear this guy spin, and i got something completely unexpected.... if you're gonna see him any time soon: expect to be taken on a very deep techno journey. he loves the eq's, and he used them so well! ususally he would cut the bass and drop the mids for the tracks he was bringing in, and would land everything perfectly. he had everyone in the crowd screaming with each mix! it was a awesome!! his tracks were hard but not hard like beyer's were, he played some code red's (the advent rmx on code red 10, and i think this is code red) a whole bunch of his art tracks and some other gems, this one track he played had this really nice vocal sample of girl singing 'except tonight' or 'expect the night' i think .. it was really nice, any id's on it? mike
