I stayed for the entire Hood set and was impressed with his tight mixing! Track selection was very cool too, I heard quite a few of his tracks, some from the latest logistic mix cd. This was my first time seeing hood, minus last year at DEMF where he played a couple tracks with Suburban Night before the cops busted the party. Very impressive overall.
Todd's live PA was dope as always, that boy needs to play out more! Towards the end he was about to play another live track (encore, encore ) but his computer was acting up. I thought Kimyon should have come on after hood, Todd's set would have gone into Hoods much better. Kimyon is the one who organized the party and has had Hood in nyc a few times before. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Pinter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 9:07 AM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Robert Hood In NYC > Did anyone go see Robert Hood spin last Wednesday night, Thanksgiving > Eve? How was his set and how was the event? I was there and stayed for about half of Hood's set. It was put together by Todd Sines and held at the Coral Room which for those who haven't heard about it, features a HUGE tank filled with water behind the bar. The tank has tropical fish and occasionally a 'real' mermaid swims around. I think the place isn't usually on the map for techno judging by the crowd. Todd did an excellent live set in X-trac form. Having seen Stewart Walker only two days earlier I rediscovered how good a live pa can be. Todd's set seemed to abruptly end...couldn't tell if it was a gear related problem or the staff cutting him off. He seemed a bit frustrated though. Kimyon (another Ohio native) played a 45min opener for Rob. Lots of good 313 stuff. UR, Dan Bell, and a few old Chicago classics. Rob started around 2:30ish and launched into a pitched up version of Groove La Chord and continued on with a pretty banging set. Again the crowd wasn't really expecting this and many departed. Rob's mixing was really clean and not having ever seen him before I was very curious. There just didn't seem to be any sort of atmosphere in the space though and I think a lot of folks were burnt out from the Kompakt party the night before. I would like to see Rob again. Does anyone know if he usually plays a lot of his own records is his sets? I didn't catch one in the hour+ I heard him. <dave>
