Yeah although when Basic Channel played behind a screen at Lost it was alongside Jeff Mills DJ set, who wasnt behind a screen. At least thats how I remember it.
Anyway, one of the most intense DJ performances I've seen recently was Dan Curtin. He didnt dance or sing or acknowledge the crowd in any way, but he didnt stop tweaking knobs, moving sliders, cuing records for one second during his set and it was fascinating to see him so focussed in creating a seamless set of blinding music, which is all I really want at the end of the day. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 2:50 PM Subject: Re: (313) ..earth calling francis....or other berlin goers.... > > >First off, what a load of boll*cks. > > nice touch Martin.
