"Expanding, evolving, letting the story unfold. Reminding ourselves to acknowledge our internal storm and let the rain pour. Let the thunder rumble but do not wait for it.. 
Moving with grace through the chaos and reaching a state of stillness in the eye of the storm.
Expansion."

Bash afterparty/Requiem prelaunch set 3AM 13OCT

Original set composed in Ableton 12 and mixed live + live guitar fx looping by machēn.

With the name of the party being Funkadelic I couldn't help but use quite a few samples from the P-Funk legends themselves 'Funkadelic'. 'Maggot Brain', 'Can you Get to That', and 'One Nation Under a Groove' specifically. 

FUNKADELIC - "Do not attempt to adjust your radio... There is nothing wrong."  [Full Set]

machēn debut gig performed live in Ableton 11 at Trishula Gathering early 2024,
I decided to stay true to the original set and made no arrangement changes, only re-mastered and clipped into seperate tracks.
