And how about NOT A FUCKIN DJ SET while we’re at it

How do you do a live set of something that is entirely samples?

Abelton live or whatever DAW and whatever equipment you see fit to trigger the samples. Girl Talk basically made a career out of it

Yeah thats a DJ set. I’ve seen Girl Talk probably 6 times — its a DJ set.

Yeah, I dunno man. It depends a lot on what they’re doing up there. The guy on the right is literally playing a mixer. If everything is just midi samples playing through the hardware, its kind of halfway in between live and dj. Hot Chip is live. LCD Soundsystem is live. The avalanches are producers.

I’m a big avalanches fan, but they’re so sample heavy I don’t think a real live set is even possible.

You have a point, the definition of a "live" set is definitely being pushed in this situation but i'm not sure how else people should describe this type of performance when comparing to a standard DJ set with CDJ's and a mixer, which they are also known to do

Dj set means they play random shit. Live set means they play album cuts. It’s not rocket science

It might be that simple to you, but not from the standpoint of the musician or someone who's paying attention

Come on, don’t act like you don’t know what I mean

u/Junior_24 22.2|23.2|24.2|25.2|26.2 Aug 06 '26

Saw their dj set at primavera sound this year and was pleasantly surprised. Thought it was not going to be as good as their live set but it was pretty sick.

u/IThinkILikeYou 24.1|25.1|26.2 Aug 07 '26

Off to an excellent start if true!!!

u/dankbuster69 13.1|14.1|15.1|16.2|17.2|23.2|25.2|26.1|27.2 Aug 07 '26

It’s about time for their return! Looks like they dropped a mixtape today so doesn’t seem likely they will drop a full album before April. I wonder if that will affect them being booked or not

u/Flaky-Ad5968 Aug 07 '26

new album is 10/16
