You know what I think about live DnB - it is essential for someone to catch events like this at least once. That is what it is all about to confirm to us that the genre truly has real creativity and avenues left to pursue into the future.
Electronic music is really criticised for not having real instruments, real spontenaity and improvisation, and I think that people like Keiretsu etc really fill in a niche where people can have more of an interactive experience, and where producers can be the musicians that they started off as.
Although I haven't seen many live electronic music acts, by far and away my favourite have been Orbital. Mainly cos they don't play tracks, but rather a constant mix, and because they always fuck around with each track, make it sound different to the original. Are there any live DnB artists like this? So far, they all seem to be track and vocalist based, and, although that sort of thing works well and is entirely credible (especially as it fits within the traditional live music set-up). I personally would like to see a hour long "mix" where they just played their tunes and fucked around with the template. That sort of act lends itself back to the dancefloor and I think that is the next step, IMO.
Having said that, the London Elektricity LP was excellent, I'd love to see them live.
Sorry if my language is a bit vague, but it's something I wanted to say, even if I can't say it properly.
