Crystal Distorsion

yep, the winter months are here , and so its time to knock the bpm's up a notch or two so as to keep warm while doing the weekend warrior thing, so here's my new setup for the moment, its had a makeover , lost a few kilo's of equipment so no more nasty kicks in the privates by those over worked and underpaid baggage handlers : every musician's worst nightmare!! Massive respect goes out to the ASK centro sociale in Palermo, Sicily: its nice to see a squat that understands 100 percent what it is to create an art/rave space, with no moody lil hippies in the corner bringing it down for everybody. Also Kernel PaniK, had a TOP few days with you lot, AGAIN!! and of course my sister IXindamix, who was apparently pogo'ing all the way through this while it happened. ENJOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Crystal Distortion - Reboot 014 - Palermo311213

so , heres some more, back to front, bit faster, and cut short because i did a very sillyu thing and set everything to record from the aux lines instead of the rec out which was used up by the web stream. ended up with half my set recorded with 69db practising and getting ready over the top. oh well, better luck next time i guess.....

Crystal D Live at ETC -Edinburgh 25/03/2016

Live at Concrete - 2/9/2016

well i'll say one thing about all this, over the years i've definitely played and recorded some of my best off the cuff party jams right here in czech republic, and this one is no exception.racing the clock ( sooo much traffic on the roads here these days), and against all odds - 69db and I set all our stuff up in front of a kicking 45kw eaw rig in a limited but cosy space a few metres away only to find the sound guy hadn't rigged up any DI boxes AND was using SPEAKER CABLES instead of mic ones, so had to relocate behind the sound system. Still, the monitors were pretty damn fat which more than made up for the initial balls up, and as this was a ninja in and out mission, we had the privilege of checking this set out in the car zipping along an empty pre dawn highway back to base.
anyway, lush as ye like 150bpm psychedelic techno, none of this trying to keep up with the latest trends bollocks - oh awlroight den , dere's a bit of a wobble ere n there but OI, leave it out tosh, etc etc etc - sticking to wot ahm good at anyhow. enjoy. do let us know if i got the levels right though, i tried some new rms normalize to allow headroom technique before whacking the shit out of it with a limiter or five after extensive forum browsing in those lonely bits post rave where every other cunt in the room is crashed out and snoring away YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, and i'm still wired like fuck, ESPECIALLY AFTER A SET LIKE THIS! anyway, youz lot can have this one, call it a pre xmas prezzie, i'll probably rinse it a few more gigs before starting all over again during our xmas new year session me n seb plan to have with dr walker, and its not like i can sell it to any cunt unless its in the flesh and at a rave is it! Right. nuff said. till next time, byeeeeeeeee.....


must try and blag someone to sponsor me a few more hours capacity on here, anyone interested?

ok first off, sorry about the ropey ending, i was in the mix for the last few mins with jeff23 and didn't have his audio feed on the recording. anyway, sounds pretty frikkin fat and clear n multi dimensional to me here at the ratlab, but do try and put it on some decent speakers if you can as there's lots of bassline. thanks to all of you who made it down there on the night, and hope to kick it on dry land in april 2013 back in da UK.

Live in ceske budejovice 2011-2010

AS i didn't record my set from the teknival , which , lets face it , was ropey as u LIKE, here's one that sounds like i knew what i was doing. i'd just finished a stint in snowy east germany , headed down to toulon for some full on rain and rave to join the rest of my crew and have it, headbangin style, so this one's a bit fast.
