We went down to Melbourne to see him play at the &#8216;Pure Flow 5&#8217; party. <b>James Ruskin<\/b> also played at the same party, check out the flyer <a href=\"http:\/\/users.on.net\/~dmccann\/images\/pure-flow5.jpg\">front<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/users.on.net\/~dmccann\/images\/pure-flow5-back.jpg\">back<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>My partner Joanne, is a massive fan of his techno music, and has seen him perform live every trip to Europe, quite a few times now. She even travelled to a Spaghetti Western town in the desert of Tabernas\/Almeria in Spain to see him play at the Western Music Festival in 2003. She&#8217;s met and spoken with him and his lovely wife a number of times now too.<\/p>\n<p>The last time we saw him play live was as part of <b>British Murder Boys<\/b> with <b>Regis<\/b>, at Fabric in London, July 2007, it was brutal, as was going to the airport straight after for our flight back to Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>Between us we have vinyl and CDs of just about everything he&#8217;s released on labels like: Tresor, Downwards, Dynamic Tension, and CounterBalance, plus a heap of his remixes on various other labels. <\/p>\n<p>We have many favourite <b>Surgeon<\/b> tracks and remixes: Magneze, Badger Bite, (Intro) Version II, La Real, Sleep Ultra Violet, The Advent &#8211; It One Jah (Surgeon Remix), to name a few. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not as into these sounds these days, but for quite a few years there in the early 2000s I had a big passion for them, bedroom banging away with them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Surgeon<\/b> moved to digital DJing many years ago for his live performances, using Ableton Live on a laptop, with external controllers. He&#8217;s really perfected the technique, blending together a varierty of sounds, styles, and tempos, making for a fantastic listening and dance-floor experience.<\/p>\n<p>His sets are no longer all storming techno, surgically layered, he&#8217;s quite eclectic musically now, covering all kinds of electronica, industrial, EBM, experimental, noise, dubstep, slowed drum&#8217;n&#8217;bass, wth beautiful melodies, with some layers of his signature Birmingham techno sound, and nods to past prototype techno and classic electronic music. Check his site, for some recent mixes. <\/p>\n<p><object width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/4e7TCFhwjT4&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/4e7TCFhwjT4&#038;hl=en_GB&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really looking forward to hearing him play.
