Thomas Fehlmann at Chop Suey

[GradualMeltdown]

Really really good music at the Thomas Fehlmann show this weekend. The Ableton clinic prior to the event was great too. Noah Pred. is really great live super huge sound with great mastering. Great taste in sound design too, no cheesy ass sounds in there at all! Hard to sound that polished live good work!

Thomas started out slow which worried a few faces on the dancefloor. As always it was just good programming and by the end of the set screaming and fist pumping kicked in. IMO there is no better feeling than when he drops his first shuffle tune in each set. Shuffle techno live just works, people freak out and life is good.

Bring him back!!!! I traveled from Portland for the clinic and the show. It was a great night of music and even better knowing all of the music was composed by the people playing it. Live electronic music rules when done right, Worth every penny for this fan.

I traveled from Portland too and I was SO glad I did. All the performers were great. The vibe of everyone in the room was over the top kind... Fehlmann's set was so layered and ever-evolving, but never muddled. Shen played exactly as I expected, unique sounding outer-space dub.
I followed them all to the Monkey loft for a more intimate setting and a Techno set from Noah Pred. Kadeejah Streets warmed it up proper as well.
By the end of this weekend, after playing Sunday @ Broken Grooves, I honestly didn't want to get back on the train and was steps away from looking for jobs! :) Good vibes Seatown.
