Background

See previous post for background. This is day 2 of the 3-day festival, and my second set, daytime this time.

This set was recorded and I will put the recording up here soon, replacing this text.

Recording was corrupted, and barely audible. :(

Setlist

This is my best guess from memory on what my setlist was that day. Will update it once I get the recording pulled down. Some of the tracks I’m not 100% sure on.

Reflection

This one was practiced less. Similar to the 2-hr set I did at CSMA sometime back, the portion that I practiced more for was executed better. What I learned from this is to practice more and my execution will be better.

Imagine that.

This set felt a bit less cohesive and blended than the other. While it was all a similar mood overall, the melodies and basslines felt a bit more like the sudden changes you might hear on a radio mix or something, and less like the typical blends I try to do. I think I need more liquid / funky D&B material to work with, to better blend these tracks together. Also to practice them more.

I was disappointed to learn that one of the tracks I found while studying my material the night before, Make It Tonight, is not on the LP release of “True Colors” that I have. I did find it on Discogs as a separate single, so I’ll be picking that up in a month or so.

I have some potential b2b opportunities where I will likely be able to play more of this kind of D&B, so that should afford more practice time for this material.

This was a paid gig.
