MELBURN 8/6/08 GOTH TRAD + FOREIGN BEGGARS @ LAUNDRY
Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 1:42 am
GOTH TRAD - TOKYO JAPAN - LIVE
A unique producer with a unique style, Goth-Trad has emerged from the Japanese electronic scene in the last few years as one of the most
arresting artists from his generation.
In the UK he was invited by Mala to play at the now legendary DMZ night. He became the first artist to play a live show at the event, showcasing his own take on the sound pioneered by so many of the DJs and producers who have appeared on the bill in the past. His eclectic and varied live show received an exceptional reception from the crowd, showing how far his sound had travelled since he started more than ten years ago.
Goth-Trad has spent an equal amount of time developing and refining his sound in the studio as he has live on stage. Making him much more than just a producer who plays DJ sets. His live shows involve a laptop, portable mixing desk and effects units which he uses to recreate his music on stage: tweaking, effecting and evolving the sound in front of the audience. His sets are energetic and mesmerising, always leaving the crowd wanting more. And never twice sounding the same.
Local support
L-Que (N.Z), Hooves, Shikung, Kamo, AC23 and Flippo
