Who are your favourite live acts?

I play club music with only OT and a modular and I want to research how others do it. Who are your faves?

I really like this video for example

Yeah it’s a nice video.
Best live act I have ever seen was skinnerbox right before the pandemic. Was just amazing. Such a shame that they decided to stop playing during the pandemic.

I really love the old Karen Gwyer performances:

Also very excited to see how Speedy J and Sterac will perform together in the coming year

Think I watched this 200x. Never seen him live for real though. Best most crushing ever was The Bug this november. Absolute power.

I like a soft modular act.

But in modular live, nothing beats Alessandro Cortini imo…

Wish this Berlin Atonal concert was on YT

I saw Alessandro Cortini at Atonal, was great indeed.

I also like Colin Benders jam sessions:

I was looking for Colin Benders on rooftop, indeed :wink:

So lucky to have seen Cortini live.
Unfun fact: I have discovered Avanti then checked for concerts only to find he had been in the concert place next to my flat two weeks before.
:scream::sob:

Pan Sonic were always amazing live (the time they played every day for a month in London, clocking in and out on a regular schedule, was particularly engrossing).

(oh - sorry - no OT)

I like her older records too.

Did take me a while to get into her newer stuff. Its good though.

Some OT in it for the er… topic.

Check out his IG if you use that. socialcontainer. The show this weekend looks insane.
I think he still just uses mc-909, 4track and delaypedal + some other pedal

You can see Actress using an Octatrack + Monomachine here -

And he talks about the philosophy of his music I guess here, with an Octatrack on this lap -

He seems to use a variety of gear though.

I really think this video is a masterclass in Elektron live performance. It features live sampling, great song transitions, and entirely contained with the Elektron workflow.

Pretty silly actually that this video seemed to cause some slight bickering here a couple years ago. I think it’s fantastic!
