This was a special set which was part of a larger special weekend (see the photoblog for photographic evidence). This set occurred between Dj Cam and Tipper on the main stage Saturday night. I spent quite a long time preparing for this set, cutting tons of special edits of songs I like but drag on too long, slicing and dicing bits into songs I like. The recording has a mic which was posted on one of the beams – throughout the recording you’ll hear cheering and crowd noise – mostly in a good way. This is also responsible for a slightly less than pristine audio quality. Oh well cant win em all. =) Rest assured the real audio sounds much crisper and kickass on a soundsystem.
oh… and it starts abruptly and ends abruptly. again… not my department. I would like to thank Mark Hall who I assume handled the recording of the sets and getting them all online. ;)

Garrett who was running sound, shot some videos during this set so you can peep it. I think the audio is quite loud so you might wanna check your volume first. =)

Phidelity – Live at Timeless Continuum NYE 2010

I was honored to be asked to play shortly after the ball dropped on NYE alongside some of my personal heros and favorite people Random Rab & Phaedroid (Andrew Jones & Phaedra) (p.s. dont forget the Random Rab live recording I have hosted on this site).The set went great – the KV2 was dialed and sounded amazing, the crowd stayed with me till the very end despite the unrelenting progression towards loud twisted facemelting tracks. A number of these tracks are special edits I made.

I held off for a while on posting this mix because I’m a perfectionist about a few things and this mix is less than perfect due to a less than perfect monitoring situation on the stage. The slapback was pretty brutal and I couldn’t hear the nuances of the beat – so with all that in mind you’ll pardon a few hairy mixes right? thanks =) I really can mix my way out of a wet paper bag if I had to.

Phidelity – Basstream Radio mix for glitch.fm 2011

This mix covers a wide range of off-kilter eclectic mid-tempo tunes with a strong emphasis on the wonky sounds coming from down under. As such it’s probably not for everyone. The mix was originally broadcast on basstream radio on Glitch.fm April 26th, 2011. For the curious… This mix is more or less what I would have played for my Decibel 2010 set if it wasn’t unfortunately cut short due to someone misplacing Beat Antiques drums which pushed everything back hours.

Tracklisting

  1. Entanglement – incompumentus
  2. r/d – Popping Stars (biclops rmx)
  3. Eprom & Boreta – Donkey Nap (jnr hacksaw rmx)
  4. Si Begg – Emmtron Battle Weapon
  5. Entanglement – tangle
  6. Squarepusher – cryptic motion
  7. Bran Richards – The Toaster Standoff
  8. Michna – Believe in It
  9. Uberzone – Ideology
  10. Opiuo – The funky Bean
  11. Vent – Lunatics
  12. Spoonbill – Hejow
  13. Spoonhead – Augmented Duality
  14. Quade – Cog Labin (phidelity rmx)
  15. Evac – Pixel Scrub
  16. Fulgeance – Chico
  17. Bran Richards – Exclusive Reamer
  18. Spoonbill – Flux Luxus
  19. Tom Cosm vs Circuitbent – Bent Cosmos
  20. Tipper – Chrome splat
  21. Legion of Green Men – TuggaThaNug
  22. Mr Rogers – Like a buffalo
  23. The Black Dog – Strip Light Hate

This is a live recording from an outdoor gathering called Prosperity that happens deep in the Washington desert with a close group of my super homies every year. I had brought out my KSP8 effects processor for real time dub effects with some midi-controllers.

The style on this mix is more or less all breaks. enjoy!

Phidelity – Lightning in a Bottle Contest Mix

Lightning in a bottle, an amazing yearly festival in southern California held a mixtape contest to win a dj slot on the line up – The limitation being that you could only use artists who were booked on the line up – seeing as their curation is impeccable I thought this could be a fun challenge.

It features three distinct sections – each one representing a different style / energy. In order to make many of these songs more dj friendly I made special edits of these songs focusing on the bits I wanted to highlight for this mix. I did the mixing in Ableton Live using several midi controllers to send audio from the computer to an external tempo-synced KSP-8 digital effects processor – you can hear a number of these lush organic dub style delays and reverbs through out the mix.

My modest rig with KSP 8 handling the dubstyle effects

    phidelity preamble

    downloadmusic player

    I almost considered coining the term Jambient to describe this but luckily my better judgment jumped in and said "Hey thats hella cheese yo!" thereby saving you from another god awful term. So now I’m not sure what to call it. The styles are all over the map and I could sit here with a barrage of sub genre after sub genre but that wouldn’t help anyone out would it? The overall focus was on chill live instrumentation with some / electronics which im hoping all my friends who like Jam bands might get into (hi liz,jazz,evan,dave,josh etc) well give it a whirl and let me know what you think.

    1. Stars of the Lid – Dopamine clouds over Craven Cottage
    2. Colourform – Flying Carpet
    3. William Orbit – Sea Green
    4. Lotus – Umbilical Moonrise
    5. Bonobo – Noctuary
    6. I am not a gun – unseen moment
    7. Cornelius – omstart
    8. Fischerspooner  – Tone poem
    9. Digitonal – come and play
    10. Evan Bartholomew – …and healing
    11. Aphex Twin – z twig
    12. Andrew Lewis – Scherzo
    13. Ochre – low gravity free fall
    14. Mr Projectile – i am back
