Thanks everyone for your replies there really usefull. The gigs at the Hi-Fi Club in Leeds, UK. its a club night called "Under the Trees", its kinda on an electro clash theme, LCD Soundsystem, DFA etc etc. Not all my music will fit the theme, but should be ok.

Well, damn! I am on the other side of the pond. So, get us some recordings.

I know what these nerves are like, just wait until you are making your journey to you live set, you will be shitting yourself. Nerves are good though, this is what makes life enjoyable. All I can say is, go for it. If you make mistake, you make them, but at least you have the guts to try new things. I will always respect someone for trying something different, even though they don't suceed.

BTW. I am working on a guest mixes page for my site. THis will allow people to upload their own mixes to my ftp server so I can make a guest mixes page. Please let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Daniel.

Hey Voodoo, you're music is fantastic it's right up my street, quite club friendly breaks-I'm certain you're gonna be fine on your gig!

What are you using are these tracks done in Live, and what are your main sound sources? You have some really sexy bass sounds!

i will suggest having an i-pod, cd, or vinyl record with your material on it ready to
mix in at a moments notice in case your kit takes a shit. that can buy you enough time to get back on track and re-booted. if you use an external hd
or midi unit that runs off exernal power, i'd consider a backup-battery/powerstrip
too(real cheap these days at computer stores) if you have the space and can deal with the extra weight.
other than that have fun!
cheers

If recording from masterbus in Live do not hit the space bar or you will have to arm the record button again...

Thanks for your feedback, yeah, i use Fruity Studio and my sound sources are from anywhere really, cut up loops, soft synths, vinyl whatever tickles my fancy!

glad you liked the tracks.
