This set was recorded as a demo-submission for the rEvolution Campout in 2009.  The master wav file seems to have been lost.  All that remains is an old mp3 version.

Live and Rising at FnF XXIII

Lick the DJ — Live and Rising at FnF XXIII (2019)

For over a decade Lick the DJ has been playing on the same continents as Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, Chris Liebing, Trentemøller, Adam Beyer, Bassnectar, Daft Punk, Missy Elliott, Britney Spears, and many more. While in Berlin during the temperate summer of 2011 he successfully visited the headquarters of M-nus Records and was refused entrance to the world famous Berghain night club. He did, however, get into Twilo three separate times in the '90s.
