i have to chime in on this one and fully agree, he just headlined a 3 day
outdoor event this weekend with a 5-hour hard techno set that blew minds
up and down the board.  the amazing thing was how moving it was with so
few tracks.  it had everything... all the noises you want to hear.. the
"electric elephant" noise... the subliminal voices.. the mutating bass..
the finger snaps, the high-key melodies... dropping out for about 2
seconds with a nice synth pad, then kicking it harder than you would have
thought possible.  all the while with fireworks, lasers, and the trees
dancing to the light of the intellibeams.... joyous
