Fun In The Murky
From Toronto, Canada, Fun the the Murky is a techno blog written by one Trevor "Isoprax" Wilkes. Constantly updated, this blog is a goldmine of mixes and live sets leaning towards, but not limited to, the wonkier side of techno. The long running series of "Bleep Radio" mixes and live sets are particularly well worth checking out.
Hours of fun. In the Murky.

Sugar Experiment Station Live, January 2007
In the first of several posts on Sugar Experiment Station, here we have for download an audio recording of their live set as performed at Monox on the Twentieth of January this year.
Tobias Schmidt and Neil Landstrumm, both long established recording artists in their own right, together are Sugar Experiment Station. They have a small back catalogue of releases under this guise predominantly released on Neil Landstrumm's Edinburgh based Scandinavia Records.
I've seen Sugar Experiment Station a couple of times now and they've never disappointed. Their live sets are pretty much improvised on drum machines and sequenced instruments in a way which is far more interesting to watch than a run-of-the-mill laptop live set. I don't know how much is rehearsed but they seem to work together pretty well to rock the place.
This file is kindly hosted by Fun In The Murky. Many thanks to Trevor Wilkes for his disk space and bandwidth.

Adam X Live @ Monox, April 2006
Next up is another rip from Ian's DVD, this time around thirty minutes of Adam X live at Monox, Glasgow, on the 15th April 2006.
A regular guest at Monox, Brooklyn NYC resident Adam X has been involved in the techno scene both in Europe and in the U.S. for many years. Starting out in the early 1990's, alongside his brother Frankie Bones, he helped nurture a thriving techno scene centred around their record shop and label operation, Sonic Groove and the Storm Rave series of warehouse parties.
His EBM-meets-techno stylings are completely in keeping with the music policy at Monox and Adam has a big following among the regulars.
In 2006 he released the "Excerpts From A Fate Unknown" ep for Dan Monox's MNX Recordings.
Audio quality on this video again isn't great, having been recorded from the mike on camera. Adam's throwing some nice shapes there behind the laptop but the people walking around the stage seem to be stressing him out a little. The audio jack from his computer is in danger of being pulled out on more than one occasion during this set. I think this was the same night Smartie made the mistake of deciding to put some effects over Adam's set and received a skelp with a plastic bottle for his trouble. The video unfortunately doesn't run long enough to capture this comedy moment.
