- - - - Live Set Lore - - - - 

This set first came to life as an ambient live set for a gig at Base in 2024. Designed on the Digitone and Syntakt, it was mainly built around the Digitone's four synth tracks. Later in 2025, when I was asked by Boyfriends to perform a live set, I thought I could use that older version as a foundation.

At first, my work on the live set was very scatty. It’s quite hard to refamiliarise yourself with a set and then try to build onto and edit it — I wasn’t sure where to begin or what to add or remove. I procrastinated on it for a good while before eventually deciding to scrap all my previous work and start from scratch — with about two weeks left before the show. I work full time, so I really only had a few hours in the evenings and weekends to get it done. Luckily or unluckily I got pretty sick after I had my front tooth removed so I was bed bound and locked in.

Upon restarting, I decided to drop the Syntakt. I’m still not sure how I feel about that unit, if I’m honest. I went back to the beloved Digitakt instead. Since I needed a fresh start, I decided I needed all new samples — I spent three or so days gathering sounds from some of my biggest musical influences. There are snippets from Oneohtrix Point Never, Barker, even Deafheaven in there, and an amazing snare from Yussef Dayes. Listening to all this music that I love so much and sampling it was the key — once I started that, the production came together relatively quickly. I soon had roughly five full new patterns of 16 tracks. This became the new backbone of my set.

One day, as I was playing through it all, I decided to see what it sounded like if I superimposed the old ambient set I did at Base on top of it — and it seemed to work. So now I had the full set and just began cleaning it up and organising everything — using the Digitone for melody, and the Digitakt for drums and more percussive melody.

In the end, I performed this live at Bello Bar. It was a lovely evening with lots of familiar faces — a gorgeous way to bring in the summer.

Additionally, the last two songs with vocals are fully mixed tracks that I created from previous live sets. To me, it feels really special to be able to show the lineage of those past performances this way. Ultimately, when you’re listening to me perform live, you’re getting the music in its rawest form — before it eventually makes its way onto the chopping blocks of Ableton. So it’s cool to show the finished products at the end.

With all the background lore explained, I just want to give one last thanks to Viva (DJ Clench), who asked me to do the original live set for Base, and Jack (Boyfriends), who asked me to perform at his album launch. I’ve collaborated with them both and I’m really grateful for the learning, sharing, and laughs.
