We just had Modeselektor play for us here in Sydney and they were
really bloody good. They've been playing live for AGES now and are
really tight. They put on a great show, and their sound is just so
fkin HUGE!
It's not straight-up tech, more along that electronic dancehall/
junglist sound that's coming out of the states a fair bit at the
moment (think Shockout/Mashit, Kid606-style stuff) but it
definitely references the detroit sound, which they're both big
fans of; I had a good chat with the guys and they were wistfully
reminiscing about seeing UR back in the day when it was Mills, Hood
and Banks.
They're playing a bunch of dates in the states at the moment,
including an afterparty at DEMF and then they're off to Mutek.
Definitely check these guys out. One of the best live acts I've
ever seen.
And also props to Lidell, Andy Vaz and Monolake as well, all of
whom I've seen this year and really rated.

Subject: (313) techno live acts
and you're allowed to add a short line why
Jeremy Ellis and John Arnold
-simply the best live performance I've ever seen. Two people making
98% of
the sounds that come out of the speakers on the fly. Live moog,
singing,
2xMPC, guitar and whatever else they decide to throw in. Music so
good it
makes me goofy
Jamie Lidell
-ditto, except I'm only slightly less enthused
But maybe you mean proper techno???
Shawn Rudiman
-More traditional techno/electro, but also doing it mostly on the
fly, with
a preference for MACHINES
Sendex
-ditto
Carl Craig
-Be it Innerzone, Detroit Experiment, his best-of thing he did last
year or
whatever the incarnation, it's good
...and a fair share of pretty damn good laptop PAists.
I dunno man, there are a lot to chose from these days, and a lot of
poo. But
I've seen far too much good music in the last few months to worry
about
that. I need a break. Live highlights of the last month would have
to be
Henrik Schwarz and Convexion. Can't ask for much more than that...
