Last night at Paxahau's Tinnitus event, I had my head completely twisted around by some fantastic techno. It was three live PAs of funky, compelling and really really original ssslllooowwww-techno. First was a live PA by Swiss producer Luciano. Heavily delayed dub style pianos over really slick mid-era Speedy J-esq beats. You can get the almost full effect by checking out his not-so-live CD 'Live @ Weetamix. That was followed by a less compelling set by current bleep-bleep golden boy Akufen. Although the set was average, it would be wrong of me to not mention his incredible remix of Cabaret Voltaire's classic "Nag Nag Nag coming out this month on Novamute. The night ended with a set by Perlon artist Dandy Jack who was joined by Luciano in what became a three hour tour-de-force of dueling laptops. I'll let everyone know when Paxahua post the archives from this amazing night.
