Has anybody seen him DJ recently? Is he as nutty as his music is?Worth my while?

that good?

Last I saw him he had a full on band behind him, keytars and everything. It rocked.

I regret missing him the last time he played Toronto. He makes fantastic records and is supposed to be just as engaging live.

I saw his live PA in Toronto a couple of years ago. Amazing. "Engaging" is certainly a good word for it. I've never heard him DJ, though.

Saw him live in Chicago a couple years ago as well and it was awesome... if his DJ sets are half as good as the live than you should go.

I'd go!

See him in Edinburgh last year during the festival and really enjoyed myself. Had gone with a good bunch of people which probably added to it. So I think you should go. Or send Dan a plane ticket!

You managed to enjoy the festival thing, fractal? I could hardly breathe at it...

I saw him a couple weeks ago in grant park. Don't walk, run to see him, etc. It was amazing, intense...like all of chicago came out to hear him play the percolator.

yeah! he also dropped "personal jesus" and "miura" during that set.

he's not the most amazingly flawless dj you'll ever hear, but he does lots of wicked juxtapositions with seemingly dissimilar records/genres and knows how to work a crowd. if you've never gone to see him play, you should definitely go. his new track that samples "house of jealous lovers" is great. one of the contemporary chicago greats that's for sure.

Saw the DEMF set years ago and loved it...his DJ'ing should be great, too. But where's it at?

― Erick H (Erick H), Saturday, 11 September 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Monterrey, Mexico, Skizzo Club

He was here a couple of years ago but I foolishly missed it...kicked myself for months for it

I didn't feel to crowded at that concert triple. I wasn't completely sober and the crowd seemed quite positive. Maybe I was just lucky. Where you right down the front? I was roughly in the middle which possibly helped.

Can't remember it in too much detail sadly. Just remember having a great night.

― haitch, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 05:47 (eighteen years ago)

nope, he still rules

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 06:24 (eighteen years ago)

it's still time for the percolator

― moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 06:24 (eighteen years ago)

Had a great time when I saw him earlier this year, the room was like a third full and no-one cared (well the promoters probably did)

― DJ Mencap, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 09:32 (eighteen years ago)

he spins alllll the time around here

― deej, Tuesday, 11 December 2007 09:42 (eighteen years ago)

He's played Seattle a couple time in the last couple of years. Always a blast. He doesn't bring much, but he doesn't need. He just sways with his mic, and dj rig... essential: Steve Reich/Vitalic mash that culminates many of his sets. Astounding.

Unsurprising, Green Velvet = huuuuge Nitzer Ebb fan.

― Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 2 April 2008 03:13 (eighteen years ago)

Is it just coincidence that every time (of three) I've seen him it's been facemeltingly loud, or does he have a reputation for this?
