Apologies for the late arrival of this weeks Signals- had some big problems with my internet connection at home and also preparing to move servers, so had more to do than time to do it in.

Here is a recording of the preparations for the gig in Kassel- I'll warn you now, this is raw as hell and very much on the experimental side. Spandex sent me some self sequencing perpetual techno machines for the G1 nord modular, some of which I butchered, and was also inspired by to create some of my own. The experience has definitely made me think more about sequencing using random elements, and break away from more traditional sequencing methods. I'm still waiting to get the recordings back from the Kassel party, which I think will sound better as I had the crowd to vibe off of, and also I used 2 MPCs as appose to just the one here, a few more drums to fill up the gaps and give it some more punch. So, as I say, don't expect this set to be seamless or slick - it's a raw jam, but I do believe there are some good moments in there.. So download and enjoy. Oh, an props to Spandex for getting the ball rolling somewhat..
