Gonzo – Live @ Escale (02-04-2010)

Here’s the live recording of the set I played last friday night at the bar l’Escale (Odéon). Even though the party was kind of improvised we got a nice turnout and people danced until 5 am.

Because people started arriving around midnight I was able to play some jazz tunes at the beginning of the set, something I don’t get to do very often since people usually arrive ready to dance. I then played some of my favorite funk songs, followed by some jazzy hip-hop. I also decided to get adventurous and play some Indian-influenced tracks, and I’m glad the sitar/bass/drum combo got people moving.

Enjoy!

[This time around I recorded the set using my brand new laptop, and I'm not very happy with how it came out...the recording seems to have a frequency defect, as if some flanger/phaser/echo effect had been on during the whole night, which wasn't the case. I'm thinking either the cable that links the laptop to the mixer was faulty, or my recording settings are weird. Either way, I did my best to fix some of the annoying effects, but next time I'll do some more thourough testing of the recording conditions.]
