I fully agree with you Kent. I saw him recently play and while i was expecting to hear more or less the same vibe one finds on his recordings, his live set is a totally different experience. He really does engage the audience like you said, creating fully danceable nonstop techno without ever going into loopbanger territory. His live sets seem almost like a dj set in that there are no pauses as ive found in most other live sets ive heard. They are seamless and flowing. He's also fun to watch as he dances in front of his gear. In bologna he was using a drum machine, a sequencer and a sampler. it was an incredible show. on and aside note: can anyone reccomend any sets from fred giannelli and bill van loo? fab
