Function (Dave Sumner) delivers a down-low performance for the Touch Supper Club audience last Saturday night. An intelligent blend of DJ mixing, live beats and sampling eschewed from his computing device and single hardware controller. I hesitate to refer to this as a DJ set, since that is far from truth. Rather, Dave put together an in-depth review of quick, hard techno using familiar tracks and loops of classic techno heritage, mixing-in his own original material. Not quite playing it all like they were 'just' tracks, Dave brought us back to some root-down, brain scrambling techo memories.
Unfortunately, my own computing device overheated and we only caught 59 minutes of Dave's set. Thanks again to Function , for stoppping in Cleveland and reminding us why we come out to listen. Don't miss the opening set by 1 Auxy for more techno goodness.
Take a break below, and listen for yourself.
