This is the recording of the extended opening set I played at Watershed (a storied Portland warehouse venue that has been the setting for many underground events) for the inaugural Thread The Needle party. I played for three hours warming up the space for our out of town headliner, the magnificent Andrey Pushkarev from Portugal.
Since I had to start from nothing and set the stage for our guest I dig deep into my collection of groovy dub techno records and also a lot of a certain kind of tech-house sound that I was really into in the early 2000s, plus of course some proper minimal. I really liked how this turned out and hope you enjoy it.
All-vinyl no edits recorded 12/16/2023.
