Hey!

Here is a 30 minutes excerpt of my latest show — the show is 45 minutes long.

(Wish the batteries didn't die; a really cool MPC scratch routine was next on the list ;)



I totally f__k up the first beat, but it's smooth after that ;)

Enjoy!

Nice :) I always enjoy your videos. The music is cool and you are a showman, very entertaining. Ya know, there is something to be said for someone that puts on a show... there are too many self-proclaimed "superstars" that stand there and just try to look mean and bada$$. I always like when the performer is having fun playing, which is always apparent in your posts. Keep up the good work!

great stuff, man... having a 30-some minute set of original live MPC material is definitely something you should be proud of... you pulled that off nicely... you have good stage presence & were interacting nicely with the crowd when you got on stage and in between... the beats were rocking too... good sh!t.

Thanks a lot! The entire show is 45 minutes ;) I practiced for months not only for the dexterity, but also to remember by heart the positions and combinations of every single pad/sample for every single beat. Hard stuff!

Happy I did it, though! Tomorrow, Sunday, I'm doing my last show of the run. Then, it's back to work :Sigh:
