So the inimitable motherfucking Gaslamp Killer touched down in AK last night. Despite being fraught with technical difficulties and strange results of sound the man's west coast phreakish hyphy-purple WOW-next level hiphop steez had a crowd going loony. Highlights in the form of phresh synth-laden goodness from the one and only flying lotus, and THAT tune I've been thrashing for some time, JAmes Blake's remix of "Stop What You're Doing".
Trying to DJ afterwards was hairy at best, I had been on a ballastic beatport bender earlier in the afternoon and had such treats as the new Slugabed and Kuedo from the wonderful quality control that is the Planet of Mu, but due to CDJ nightmares that didn't happen. A shame...
What to do now but linger in that trustworthy infallible mode of spinning large black discs on turntables...what a pleasure it is to drop "Midnight Request Line" on wax just about 5 years after it burst dancefloors apart with its arppegiated goodness.
