We have an incredible treat for this edition of OFR, courtesy of IF? Records chief, Sebastian Bayne. This is the last hour of a nearly 8-hour set he recently played in Tbilisi, Georgia. 

Bayne writes: 

"There is a growing techno movement there. What was supposed to be a standard set, turned into a bit of an epic experience.

They wouldn't let me stop.

Those people need more techno."

Quite frankly, this is fucking awesome, and we are very grateful to Sebastian for sharing this special recording with us. Hopefully it finds its way back to some of the folks in that audience. Spread the good word, and enjoy.
