Took me only 30+ years, but I finally have a Cinéma vérité version of a great live set from Summer 2021.

Massive appreciation to:

Mike Marshall @ MnM Presents ( https://www.mnmpresents.com )
I’jaz Jaciel for the awesome video and initial production ( https://twitter.com/jaz_ciel),
Buffalo Riverworks (https://buffaloriverworks.com) for the incredible waterfront venue.
Buffalo Pro Audio (Nate Howell / Pyramid) for the awesome sound system!
ESPECIALLY John Borsa (https://betterwithborsa.com) for the immaculate post production realness.

Enjoy!

Xotec – Digital Bitchslap v2.0 (April 2004)

So stoked that I actually found this – I thought it was lost forever!

15 years ago. Wow.

This is an accurate reflection of my “queer house” vibe in 2004. This mix predates my “live” rig by over 3 years, so all the mixing, acapella rocking, re-rubs, sampling, loops, etc were done using CDJ’s, a BOSS SP202 sampler and 1200’s…aka “Old School”.

After another listen, I now remember making Steve “silk” Hurley bootylicious, served Janet’s “nasty” some Self Control, turnt Xtina from dirrty to filthy, and pumped up Donna Summer (there’s prob more I forgot). Most importantly, the infamous “Jesus Christ, my Pussy is Burning” has been recovered!

Have a listen – Let this set your pussy on fire for the first time, or again! 😛

Xotec 3.0 LIVE @ Pyramid June 2018

Finally get around to posting this LIVE mix from the last Pyramid monthly – my semi-annual throw down for the Pyramid crew, which is always one of the highlights of my year. I set a proper set length and a kick ass rig to werk it properly.

This one accidentally turned super special. Who knew I would end up in the hospital a week later, engaging in an intense fight and emergency surgery to save my life. Blessed that I’m here to post this, and will eventually be ready to rock again soon! Given all this rediculous fuckery, this recording will forever live as “Xotec’s last live set before he almost bit it!” Enjoy!

Xotec 3.0 @ “Pyramid presents CLASSICS” (April 2017)

I can’t believe I didn’t put this LIVE set on my website until today (nearly a year later)…it’s been on Mixcloud for a bit but still…WTF is wrong with me?

Anyway…I did serve my boos @ Pyramid something special here. I’m werking X 3.0 + significant turntable action. I can’t properly serve almost 30 years of X’s CLASSICS without rocking at least 1/3 of the set using VINYL! (yep you can hear it, there is some pops, clicks, and a skip or two) Enjoy!
