Thanks to Qualcomm, too, for sponsoring this particular party. Any time I'm sweating as much as the dance floor, you KNOW it's gotta be good!"

Highsage ToorCon.org Party Studio Run (Full-Length HQ Audio) Live Elektron Hardware Set

Published on Oct 23, 2012 by shagghie

"This is the studio pre-run video take and live un-edited HQ audio leading up to the amazing Toorcon.org underground warehouse party in San Diego on Oct 20th, 2012. This set was performed in front of several hundred of the world's best hackers... no ordinary party, and it was quite a show! Mad respect to h1kari, nfiltr8, and geo for one of the best 'cons in many many years, and to Qualcomm for helping fund the sound and ever-flowing bar tab. Set is performed on a pair of Elektron Octatracks and a Machinedrum and some in-line FX, all mixed on the Octatrack and into the house mixer. Down and dirty Detroit style techno and house with a nod to the old guard trance coming out of the early 90's...all with a modern Elektron performance style twist. Tradition and Future, Liberation of the Machines in true hacker form. Shouts to Dreamlabs, Skippy, Marcel and the ever-sexy Katy Rokit, whose vocal samples are woven throughout the set."
