Exploding head Syndrome August 18

Exploding head Syndrome August 18

Avatar

A set I put together last weekend following the last Bassbins set, but raising the intensity a bit more with some rolling techno this time. Its a jumble of styles and labels and will make some of the techno purists wince no doubt but fuckit the energy is all matched up and thats all that matters to me.

It wasn't pre-planned and so the setlist was done off the cuff so expect some rough mixing. This is my last solo set for a while as I'm off to festivals and holidays the next few weekends. To anyone who listens I hope you enjoy. Tracklist in the first comment.

*Exploding head syndrome (EHS), alternately termed episodic cranial sensory shock, is a benign condition in which a person hears loud "imagined" noises (such as a bomb exploding, a gunshot, a bassdrum or a cymbal crash) or experiences an explosive feeling when falling asleep or waking up

Graeme!!! 3 weeks I left this unanswered!!!! Committing one of my own personal bug bears isn't good. Apologies mate I hadn't realized it was there until it was pointed out to me (Officer Manu of G on patrol :-) ). Many thanks for the listen & comment. Its always much appreciated, even if I'm a dozy cnut sometimes and forget to reply. :-)

If this is an off the cuff set then you need to do a shed load more of this...proper in the zone mate and the musical equivalent of kicking Bishop Brennan up the fecking arse...ballsy and invigorating ::))
Enjoy your hols!

Fitz

Ha ha cheers Stubbie pal that gave me a good laugh. When it comes to techno then kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse is exactly the type of attitude it needs to have!!! Ha ha quality. Cheers mate much appreciated.

Loved this Fitz, I’m a big fan of keeping things varied so for me this is spot on. The acid fuelled pieces ‘Eyes’ and ‘Physical Addiction ‘ were my picks ... ‘Eyes’ in particular had me throwing a few shapes. Too sesh mate ;)

Fitz

Many thanks again Jay. Nice picks there pal they definitely grab the attention between the vocal samples and rampant acid lines. Glad to hear I could get you throwing a few shapes to them ;-)

The very best DJs of old...Jeff Mills for instance would play everything from Banging techno right through to ambient, soulful house and even funk! So you are in exalted company Fitz !

Fitz

Exactly mate. Lets keep the parameters nice and broad :-)

Nice work Fitz...I prefer a mash up of styles...fuck the purists...techno facists...if it works it works....reminds me of Arespi's stuff...also on MC...from Holland...love it.....await further installments...cheers Wayne

Fitz

Cheers pal I'm glad you liked it. Nice to see someone who feels the same on the purists. They're ridiculous. I got into words with a few on a techno facebook thread recently as they were lamenting the demise of Drumcode as now only pushing 'safe commercially viable tech house'!!!! What a load of idiots. Beyer & co have been on top form and continue to raise the bar & set the pace for the rest to follow.
I look forward to checking our Arespi later pal. I had tagged one of his mixes earlier. Always glad of a referral to someone good.
Thanks for listening. Have a good weekend mate. :-)

Dang brother, you must have been in the zone while mixing this one, cuz I sure was just listening to it! Really had me bobbin my head at work, thanks for this one man, made my day :-)

Fitz

Cheers Brian yes this was a heads down and bobbing along in the zone session alright. I'd say you know the feeling well yourself :-)
Some very fine techno from these excellent producers for me to indulge myself with. Good times.
Thanks for listening mate. :-)

Günter Sevenich

Many thanks Gunter. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the kind wishes also mate. :-)

Wadcutter

Fitz

Cheers Daryll. Glad you liked the intro too mate. I had the interview come up in my facebook feed one day and had to sample it. Thanks for listening pal. :-)
