Not Operated ( Live ) - Tech Clubbers Podcast #391

This EP was created by extracting segments from Not Operated's live acts, then remixing and balancing them in post-editing. In this EP, you can appreciate the characteristic energy of his LIVE performances, which he himself defines as an "organic act." The execution of his shows is primarily based on an "everything from scratch" approach. Most of his performances are improvised in the moment, creating a strong sense of surprise and spontaneity.

Over the years, Not Operated has developed a highly personal setup, relying solely on analog machines and avoiding the use of sampler machines and computers both on stage and in the studio. These four tracks were extracted from his last two live streaming and club night performances at Renate in Berlin.
