I don't live in Bristol any more, but I'm only about 1 1/4 hours away so I might be able to make it. What time are you playing till (roughly)? It's a week night so I can't stay out too late :)

I haven't been to a gig in about a year (next one I have tickets for is Prodigy in Cardiff), so I may well try and get to this one. Give this a bump the week before to remind me!

Weather is lashing it down (I was planning on riding down) and I'm going to be in work late tonight, so I probably won't be able to come. Good luck and try to record the set for us :)
"ah well if im shit we will just have to get hammered and have a laugh." Always the best way!

It's on. I'll be there. Grab me and say hello Leonid (and anyone else who's going). I'll be easily recognisable. I've got a nasty looking red mark between my eyebrows at the moment that makes it look like I'm emulating a high-caste hindu and have gotten it off-centre.

Just got into work after going to this last night.
A great night and Xltronic was well represented. Our very own Kado and Ochre were respectively the best DJ and live act there IMO.I also stickered a cupboard in the b&b with the xlt logo that will be on the xlt slipmats. Hanal, I hope you approve. Good to meet the lurker, 'leonid_olusegun' too.
Well worth the trip.

Curse that obscenely long breakdown in 'Freak', I'm aching like a mofo this morning.
Re: The recording. I don't think Kado has checked the MD yet, but it was plugged in.

Just arrived home from Bristol. We left the B&B at 11am....loads of delays + carrying a record bag with the equivelant weight of a big sack of spuds on my shoulder for miles....I feel knackered.
It was great meeting you guys "in real life" Sam, Rich, Dan Nick and I had a really good time and felt a bit worse for wear this morning, sorry I didn't manage to get up in time to see you go Ceri, hope you made it to work on time.
Everyone who performed at the gig was great..there should have been more people around to see it (thats the trouble with it being midweek + rubbish weather i guess)
Chris Ochre was definately the highlight for me, he really put effort into his set, using a cool handheld controller to manipulate his sounds. Made it seem a bit more live than the usual laptop/mouse/moodyface combo (a personal skill of mine)
The visuals were excellent aswell (EWO/Utility Player) the videos really suited the mood of the music. I vote EWO for official BOC VJ!
I had a brief listen to the Minidisk this morning, the sound is very inconsistent, as you guys know we had to battle with the system all night and it shows in the recording unfortunately. Quiet patches and big distortion - Mainly during my set lol, my girlfriend thought one of the speakers had blown when i dropped my first beat...luckily got it sorted.
If I can't salvage the set, i might recreate it, or you can just look forward to my XLT Radio slot which I will sort out in the near future.
A big thanks to Boltfish for putting on the gig aswell as the other artists from Rednetic and Toytronic. Looking forward to the next one =oD

I had an excellent night, there was a great atmosphere, relaxed and friendly :)
The quality level of the music was pretty damn good all night, KADO and Ochre in particular did great sets!
Also Bristol is a lovely city, lots to see.

I got into work with plenty of time to spare, only took me an hour to get home and I managed to get a cooked brekky at the guest house!
Ochre's controller was the "micromodul DJ1", right? From a distance it looked like was playing with 2 ps2 pads taped together :) I might actually get some of those PS2->midi/gameport convertors and make something for live use out of a pad or two.
Fractaltrees: Glad I didn't wake you up when I sloped off in the morning mate. Hope you didn't feel to rough, I spoke to Rich before I left and he was really suffering.

hhaaaha, Rich was still pissed on the train home, he had a ridiculous amount to drink!
I think the controller was the LV1, I remember the 4 knobs at the top which he had assigned to effects, a nifty little toy. I just remember us sitting there baffled saying "Is he using a PS2 controller with Ableton!!"

The Medium Dan and Jimmy 90 sets survived. My set and Star Delta's are not fit for aural consumption i'm afraid. I will cook something new up for you all soon tho :D
