You Just Can’t Get Enough : Synth Britannia

Seem to have a nice stream of ‘likes’ on this stuff this week… so… let’s keep churning it out. Synth Britannia is a BBC produced documentary on late 70’s / 80’s Synth Pop. Stellar.
Required viewing if you’re a child of the 80’s.

Check out this trailer:

You’ll have to poke around the interwebs to find a download, but… I think you all can be pretty crafty.

Live UK Footage of NIN + Gary Newman

Since some of you seemed to dig the Moby clip… Here’s some hi-quality stage footage of NIN performing Gary Newman’s classic, “Cars” with… Gary Newman.
More beautiful synths for thee.

NIN: “Cars” with Gary Numan, live from on stage, London 7.15.09 [HD] from Nine Inch Nails on Vimeo.

Some of the other tracks from that same show are pretty cool.
Balls.

More Drum Machine / Synth Geekery via Moby

Here’s Moby’s jam packed and functional studio with a mega load of Gear.
To one day be in a living situation where I’ll be able to do the same again (but on 10th a scale),
is mere fantasy right now. Much of my own gear is in dresser drawers and boxes.

We will meet again.

Anyway, Enjoy the clip.

Iran So Far Away – DJ Gig Tuesday July 14th

7.14.09_Iran So Far Away

Hey Everybody,

I scored myself another DJ Gig with our Persian friends, Hypernova, next week, Tuesday July 14th at the Chelsea Art Museum in NYC for the Iran Inside Out exhibition.

With all the craziness going on in Iran at the moment with the botched election and all, somebody figured that they should put on some crazy art show with artists from Iran. Well, the show at the Chelsea Art Museuem was already on the way, just so happened that the timing was a co-incidence. Anyways, I’ll be DJ’ing on the rooftop (i’m like the new U2) with open bar, once you get past the admission bits. There’ll be a panel with the artists involved in the exhibit taking place early on, or, you can just come for the party portion. Something tells me that I’ll have to creatively work in Flock Of Seagulls given the title of the event.
