Word on tha street is that these two psycho's ripped them apart in OZ. I unfortunately missed their gigs here due to other commitments - but my sources tell me that these guys have taken the techno to a new level. peeps are still cryin' openly about the mastery of their work and the Gods of techno are smiling...
...that is all :)
I would expect nothing less from these two.

Gods of techno they are, one of the best sets I have ever heard, two days have passed and I am still speechless, Speedy J and Chris Liebing are masters!
Cant wait for them to come back and cant wait for their new album!

They were truly awesome. I have a few criticisms, but they aren't worth mentioning as the good WELL outweighed the not so good.
Sound system was siiiiiiiiick. Had to take a step back when their first kick frum dropped.... straight through me chest.
how long did they play for?
was it a journey or was it straight up bangin?

5 hours.
and yeah - it was pretty ****-ing incredible. started minimal-ish and built to bangin - most of it was relatively hard.
machina

oh man, someone say they got a recording of this set! sounds legendary!

Really lookin forward to seeing this!! Most exciting thing to happen to techno in a good while imo.....2 of the finest producers in techno.
The I love techno gig there doing will be sick!
report from another board
well this is not so common for Sydney there were 2 good gigs on in one weekend hehehe
On Friday saw Bangkok Impact although I left before Dj TLR who also played because I drank way too many shots whoops
and last night Speedy J and Chris Liebing played a 5 hour live set...pretty cool, went from I guess minimal kinda tech through to some pretty hard shit. All played live from Ableton, they were a pretty good live act I must say - worked together really well and got the crowd into it and shit. Plus for some reason there were SO many babes at the club like brutally hot haha - mad

Just to clarify, they had 4 laptops on stage, 3 mixers, a drum machine, a chaos pad and 2 decks.
So not just ableton. Rather, Ableton, Final scratch, Decks, EFX and a drum machine.
They went into this triplet pattern hard shit at one stage that blew my head off... sooooooo sick.

i honestly cannot see how someone that likes techno could not have at least thought it was okay. If your mate thought they were shite, imo he doesn't like techno.

Spot on machina, even more I would say not only did he not like techno but if he did he had no idea about techno.
Again I will say, they were outstanding!

I thought Collabs was just short for Collaboration... on those Novamute releases one Collabs is Speedy J and Adam Beyer, another is Speedy and Chris Liebing. And I didn't get them all but i think there may be other collaborators?
Anyway.. Speedy J is a genius... and so is Beyer, but he needs to pull the finger out lately - maybe he wore himself out making too many tunes! Liebing isn't really in the same league, production wise, but he's well able as a DJ.
I agree with whoever said the Collabs releases weren't up to much (any of said artists on thier own have come up with better) - it's dissapointing to see Speedy J hook up with either of those lads and not come up with something absolutely mindblowing!
But then again it's straight up, simple, Bangin' techno... the kind of sh it that rocks a party and probably worked a treat in OZ, and I hear OZ needs a bit of an education in techno, so fair play - Ya can't knock it!!
(btw, Speedy J's 'A Shocking Hobby' is one of the best albums EVER. imho)
and I hear OZ needs a bit of an education in techno
u heard wrong. trust me, don't embarrass yourself!

I originally posted this thread coz i was excited by the way my cohorts were speaking about the collabs gig. This gig was very timely for OZ, esp Melbourne and it hit the mark and turned a few heads. It meant that the Techno sound made some ground that it had lost over the years.
After hearing what Mark EG had to say about their release I was expecting the same reaction from peeps here who know Techno as well as anyone else. They liked what they heard and it made some waves.
Good all round I reckon ;)
As for the comment on education....i concur with machina....whatever :P

Sorry, Aussies...
No offence meant whatsoever... I have a few mates who were over in Australia at different times over the last few years and that's just what I heard...
But then again if you came to Ireland on holiday and spent your time in the more picturesque parts of the country you'd be likely to find some terribly shite music playing at the local disco....
I'd be the first to say that most of THIS country needs an education in Techno... we're working on it anyway!
No disrespect to your fine country at all, in fact,
LONG LIVE THE AUSSIES !!!

Oh dear.
The set sounded nothing like the Collabs releases.
Melbourne at least has a very good clue about techno.
that is all.

loads of good techno around the the perth side and east coast.....techno club in perth called 'ambar' is sposed to be mint.
although the majority of shit out there is drum n bass n breaks,the scene seems to be really growing there and more respected techno djs seem to be reaching there shores pretty often.

Sweet :)
I have to agree with grain.
I'm a brazilian living in Melbourne and do you know what i miss living here? Techno
There isn't good techno parties here at all. Not as often as i'm used to see in my city Sao Paulo.
I might be wrong, but until now that's the impression i have.
I went to Metro to see Speedy J and Chrid Liebing. Yes they played for 5 hours what i wished it was only 3. The first three hours was wicked, but after the third hour i started to get bored because it was the same banging techno.

this is a whole new topic in itself!
i totally agree. i love banging hard techno soo much but i do sometimes think that if clubs would vary it a little, they might get a more interesting, crowd. things would be more challenging. perhaps i'm getting old ;)
