Thumptek & Shadowstarr Live PA 2004

This is an old mix that I happened to find a little while ago when I was cleaning the studio.  The recording is of Thumptek and myself doing a Live PA in February 2004.  Everything was done in one take, on hardware synths with no computers.

Some of the drum machines and synths that were used are the TR909, TR727, DX200, FR777, JX3P, and the Technosaurus.

Live Studio Mix from Feb 2004

Bassnectar @ Showbox, Seattle 2010
2-13-10-lucent-lamour-bnut-photography-2

What started back in the mid nineties as an experiment fusing youth culture and social action has turned into a multi-faceted, multi-faced creature called Bassnectar. It is the brainchild of Lorin Ashton, and it exists as an open-sourced musical project that is as diverse as it is heavy, as raw as it is meticulous, and as fierce as it is imaginary. Bassnectar combines sound and force with weight while spanning the spectrum of sonic style, covering every genre imaginable, and smashing it all into a collision of wobbling, perverted basslines, hypnotic hide-and-seek adventures, and pretty much anything that strikes his fancy. He calls the end product “omnitempo maximalism,” which basically means no rules, no limitations, and no hesitation in fusing the familiar with the strange or the classic with the cutting edge.

Sound Tribe Sector 9 (abbreviated as STS9) is an instrumental band known for their live performances. The band’s genre-blending sound is based heavily on instrumental rock and electronic music crossed with elements of funk, jazz, drum and bass, psychedelia, and hip hop. Self-described as “post-rock dance music”. The band mixes standard live rock instrumentation with electronics, favoring group rhythm over individual solos. STS9 has released five studio albums, one remixed album, and one live DVD (Live As Time Changes) on their own label 1320 Records. As an independent artist, they have succeeded by using their live performance to conduct multiple concert tours and appear at music festivals. They have achieved significant niche popularity in a few areas of the country through frequent appearances, most notably in greater San Francisco Bay Area including Santa Cruz; the greater Denver area including Boulder; as well as Asheville, NC, and the greater Atlanta area including Athens, GA.
