I went to the 'Lovebytes' festival last night to see Gescom DJ. The event was free and started at midnight and I got there about 11 to see Vector on before them. At about midnight 2 guys appear behind the decks.....and whip out some apple laptops and DJ from those. I had no idea who this was as Gescom is a collective of i've heard about 30 people. The music was pretty good and it was the first time I'd got to hear this kinda stuff outside my house, but it was far too quiet, I suppose as it was a bar and people wanted to chat. After a bit of time (and too many pints) I plucked up the courage to say something (me and my friends were sat RIGHT in front of them all evening) and the guys told me they were Autechre and I asked em how many people were in Gescom and stuff, to which they debated and eventually decided more than 'So Solid' heheh. I didn't want to pester them any more because they were obviously working (much to our amusement it was funny too see them concentrate extremely hard in unison on their laptops, at the mixing part I guess) and so I respected that and also I didn't have much to say to them. I haven't actually listened to much autechre so I wasn't gonna say "I love LP5!" or anything cos I'd just feel stupid (though what I have heard, dael and glitch, I love). Since I make music myself i'm interested in what proggies they used to DJ, Traktor maybe? and I wish I'd asked but as I said, they weren't exactly talkative. There was a group of friends and (I'm guessing) behind them including some women, but I don't know if one of them was Chantel Passemonte (Mira Calix). When one of them first said to me they were autechre, I just went 'wow', to which one of them chuckled and told the other...I feel stupid! This is probably about longest post I ever done, just thought I'd share it! PS- I don't think many people even knew who they were |

I saw her at the absent spusher, plaid show, and she played haunted house type stupid ambient dark crap for about roughly an hour......not exactly the type of show a crowd expecting squarepusher wants to hear. |

As I said, I don't know. The laptops did look VERY cool, especially in the dim light with the apple logo lit up. |
