Last weekend, I did a live DJ set (along with Marc (DJ Warpt) and Caustik) at a birthday party for me and my friend Fry. I had the fortune of remembering to set up a laptop to record the gig, and Marc was nice enough to transcode the set and put it up on his site for people to download. It’s been a while since I had done a live set so I’m a little rusty, but I’m not too unhappy with how it came out all things considered. If you’re wondering what’s in it, it’s mostly progressive house and vocal trance, a little mash-up, a little breaks–and a recitation of the fibonacci sequence.
Here’s a direct link to my set.
It was fun to see the spread of techniques and technological proclivities represented by the line-up. There was me with my Technics turntables and Serato Scratch Live, Marc with this Pioneer CD mixers, and Caustik using a slick PC-based DJ tool called Ableton Live and a MIDI deck. We had fun after the party giving each others’ equipment a try. Also, thanks to Cathy for putting the whole event together! She put a lot into getting the venue (Fry’s house) set up and looking nice.
Thanks for that! Pleasant listening on a rare, sunny Sunday afternoon in Manchester. Happy birthday!
Neat, downloading now. I hope to get a Rane TTM57SL (mixer + serato scratch live built in) soonish and some dvj-1000’s to replace my cdj-200’s & loaner old Rane from a friend. Need more disposable income first, even though I DJ weekly. ;)
Nice! I love “Fibonacci Sequence” by BT. I randomly found it on vinyl a couple years ago and it’s one of my favorite records.
Anyone else amazed that bunnie does this??? Super hacker, designer by day, dj party rave mixer by night?!! Cool…
How does the Serato Scratch Live compare to Final Scratch ?

You get serious respect for throwing down some insoc, and not just Pure Energy or P&L Inc., but IBM? Wow. :) Awesome mix!
awww, *blush* thanks guys. I used to do live sets a lot more back in Cambridge when i was a grad student. Many more electronica lovers out there than in San Diego (seems like everyone wants hip-hop out here).
Never used Final Scratch, but I’m so happy with Serato I see no reason to change.
thanks for listening! Maybe I’ll do another one someday and share it…Caustik is teaching me how to use Ableton Live, that tool has some powerful capabilities.
I also quite enjoyed that set. I particularly like the song that starts at 1h24; and I hope you do some more if and when time allows… :)
There is a BT channel over at Stage6:
“Check out TBU track 1.618 here in high definition and to learn more about the album, visit the This Binary Universe website. On Stage6, you will also find exclusive Stage6 Crew interviews, footage from BT from the road, and music videos.”

That was really cool stuff to listen to! Do share more when you create. (^_^)
Was looking on net for some good trance….came across this from a friend.
Have listened to it for only bout 10 mins now and its kickass stuff!
Software such as Serato that still allow you to mix with your turntables are cool, but with all the new technology and software out now days, the art of beatmixing has lost some of its value. Much respect to all the DJ’s still doing it old school.
Great set! I like it! ;) Happy BD!
Will be downloading to listen.
Alright, Just a quick email to say your sites not showing correctly on the wmo6.5.
