Sublight: “Ain’t nothin’ but a caustic acid trip, baby” Classic DJ set

Very much inspired by the dripping sound of Cologne acid techno.

Sublight: “Hardest Wax Techno” Classic DJ set

By this point I’m playing strictly vinyl, and it isn’t long before I sell my old first-gen CDJ-500’s which replaced my original non-DJ CD players. I begin to develop a love for techno, playing out at events much more frequently, and building a sizable record collection. 1996/7 were great years for techno – lots of heavy industrial stuff, acid techno and general machine noise business you could rinse out for hours on end.

Sublight: “Residents Choice memories of SICOE sauce” Classic DJ set

SICOE: the house that Elliott built. A return to the parties we threw in Ottawa, and the raw techno of the early 90’s coming out of Berlin, Detroit and the UK.

Sublight: “Wobbly” Classic DJ set

Chicago and Windsor meet up in Detroit for the weekend and get deep.

Sublight: “Ultra Acid” Classic DJ set

Sounds from the Silver Box: the TB-303

Sublight: “Live @ Narcottage (Side G)” Classic DJ set

Every year we went to the Narcottage for the Victoria Day long weekend. Eventually it became elaborate: generator, full sound system, plenty of DJ’s and a full on party atmosphere. In the middle of this long run of epic events, I managed to play a record-breaking 19.5h set, and capture much of it on tape.

Sublight: “Let Neural Traffic Thrive” Classic DJ set

Side A. A for Acid.

Sublight: “The Acid Man sells spiked Ice Cream” Classic DJ set

Back in Ottawa in the early 90’s, some friends, who shall remain nameless, liked to put the odd hit or two into their ice cream cones, and make a wild afternoon of it wandering through the market and the parks.

Sublight: “Schoolchildren and Trance” Classic DJ set

An odd excuse to same the Simpsons episode “Who shot Mr. Burns”, and the first time including a computer in a set in any way…

Sublight: “United Nations of Trance” Classic DJ set

I think I may have seen too many United Colors of Benetton ads at the time.
