Luomo live report

So I caught Mr. Delay live at Sala Quick here in Madrid last saturday, and it was pretty much so-so...some DJ named PT-10 kicked things off, bloody amazing: techy, bassy and groovy as fuck (he calls it 'minimal miami')...Luomo was supposed to start at 1:00am, so when PT-10 was still in the decks by 1:30am everyone got a bit antsy...I found Delay and chatted with him for a while, apparently his laptop crashed midset the night before in Barcelona, so he was copying his entire hard drive onto another one...he finally went on at about 2:00, started off with Synkro, and to be quite honest, I think very few people even knew who he was or were as thrilled as I was to finally seeing him live...the place was packed (bout 450 ppl) and everyone pretty much went on dancing quite mellowly and just swaying along to the music...Delay played very little Vocalcity stuff, focusing almost entirely on The Present Lover tracks, cutting and glitching them up almost to the point of overkill, sacrificing flow but still managing to get a good groove on for most of his set...the kicker: he only played for 2 hours cuz his machines were giving him hell (met him at the bar later, said he would have played for at least an hour more), and NO FUCKING TESSIO...

anyhow, it was a good night, but not the one I was expecting, by far...Delay´s got good stage presence too, pretty much looked like he was gonna hump his machines and girls kept eyeing him all night...
