Collab - tore it up

**holotropik** · 03-10-2005, 12:58 AM

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 :)

**new** · 03-10-2005, 03:08 AM

I would expect nothing less from these two.

**tekboi** · 03-10-2005, 03:16 AM

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!

**Craig McW** · 03-10-2005, 03:18 AM

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.

**sash** · 03-10-2005, 04:07 AM

how long did they play for?

was it a journey or was it straight up bangin?

**machina** · 03-10-2005, 04:08 AM

5 hours.

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

**The Overfiend** · 03-10-2005, 06:11 AM

Immediately

**Frank Dogshit** · 03-10-2005, 01:03 PM

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!

**koma** · 03-10-2005, 01:15 PM

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

**Craig McW** · 04-10-2005, 12:47 AM

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)
