Super pissed I missed this after reading reviews. Had a really long day at wonderland (afternooon+halloween haunt) and was too wiped when we got back into Toronto at 1am :'(

I look forward to hearing other prog DJs, such as Henry Saiz, Cid Inc, Eelke Kleijn, etc. (Hear me out, Oz) ;) lol
Are you spying on me?

This lived up to all expectations! Small intimate venue, great openers, killer headliner, amazing vibe till the end.
Lost and found is etched into my head.
His programming, and control were a thing of beauty. I love seeing a DJ that knows his music, and equipment, and knows how to work them together. Its not just about mashing two records together and letting them play.
If he made you delete the set, then you know he was proud of it, and it must have contained lots of unreleased stuff.
Prog, please never leave me again. Its been a dark 10 years.
+1 for Eelke Kleijn next please.

Hey y'all,
I thought I'd let everyone know the drama in the booth that prevented Guy from being able to properly play until 230 or so.
Overall an incredible night! I had a blast opening up the night (recorded live, will post later). Andrew dropped an incredible set (recorded live), and much longer than planned.
Guy started setting up around 130. He uses Ableton, a UC-33 midi controller and an audio interface with 1 channel into the mixer. When he plugged his UC-33 into his laptop it didn't recognize the device. We tried and tried (restarting Ableton, rebooting) but it just wouldn't recognize. It was a little confusing as Guy played the night before with no issues. Luckily I run nearly the same setup: Ableton, a Launchpad, a 4 channel audio interface, and a UC-33. We tried plugging my UC-33 into his laptop and it still wouldn't recognize. Totally bizarre.
I then had an idea: use the 'Collect All and Save' feature in Ableton to save Guy's entire set to a single project file, copy it over to my laptop, open it in Ableton, and hope it all loads up identically to how Guy had it saved on his laptop. Yes, a bit of a stretch, considering Guy had about 6GB of audio in this one Ableton project. It was worth a try, so I had Oz grab a 8GB USB stick. We started the process of saving a consolidated project file (took about 15 minutes).
Guy then started playing using his fingers on the trackpad of his Macbook manually. The transition from Andrew, who had now played until 2am, was seamless, didn't skip a beat. Not everyone may realize it, but playing live on Ableton like this is BRUTAL, especially the way Guy is set up. Volume changes, EQ changes, FX, all had to be done with his fingers. Amazing how good it sounded considering he was playing like this.
The save finished, we then started to copy the file over to a USB stick (took about 20 minutes). Finally I plugged the USB stick into my laptop and started copying the files to my desktop (took 5 minutes). I opened the project in Ableton... MISSING FILES! I ran a scan of my drive (took 5 minutes) and BINGO, there it was. I plugged my UC-33 in and all the mappings were good.
Guy transitioned from his laptop to mine, again, seamlessly, didn't skip a beat. He then proceeded to rip Toika a new one until 5am. Unbelievably huge sound, incredible set. For those of you wondering, yes, Guy made me delete the entire set from my Macbook... AND empty the trash ;)
I'll be posting my set later today, and I'll let Andrew decide if he wants to post his. Unfortunately since I had to load up Guy's set on my laptop I couldn't capture his set. :(
Cool story bro
