Icicle – Entropy Live

icicle-LIVEONLY-portrait

Icicle is teaming up with Skittles to take a new project on the road called Entropy Live which promises to be something a bit different from the average DJ set. The man himself describes it as follows:

Entropy Live is based on hardware, controllers, live synthesis, sequencing and analogue mixing. There is no digital audio workstation involved and I cannot simply press play and take a step back. Sonically the show is a re-imagining of my album Entropy with some additional music from my earlier career and live improvisations. I think this show is about technical excellence as much as it is about depth, and Skittles is the embodiment of that sentiment holding a microphone.

Check out a teaser for the tour below and hit up Icicle’s website for tour dates across Europe over the next few months.

Frederic Robinson – Live Signals [Blu Mar Ten Music]

Frederic Robinson continues to push the boundaries of 170BPM electronica with another outing on Blu Mar Ten Music, this time in the form of a live album. Chris BMT has long made much of the incredible performances Frederic puts on and this album provides a snapshot of his intricate, airy percussion, live violin and soothing melodies. The music really speaks for itself so give the preview a listen below and grab yourself a copy from SurusiTunes or Beatport.

In The Mix… Maztek Live @ Renegade Hardware

Renegade Hardware have been kind enough to put up a live set from Italian neurofunk don Maztek for free download from their soundcloud. Full of hench tunes and unreleased dubs, the set has exactly the vibe we’ve come to expect from both Hardware and Maztek; hard snares, rolling beats and dirty reese basslines all the way. Check it out below!
