issue five -- gemini 2008 edition

namely, gemini 2008 by dope recordings.
this event was held on june 14th near boulder, colorado. i attended gemini for the first time last year, and was determined to make it again this time around. once again, it was simply amazing! a beautiful location, great music, and wonderful people. you can listen to all of the sets at doperecordings.com. the following are some of my favorite sets from the night.

<> alert
dark, minimal dubstep set played as the sun was sinking below the horizon. the woods truly became creepy for a while...

<> ten and tracer
following up alert, this set was minimal and dreamy and weird. i loved it! good shit.

<> josh23
bangin'! i've only seen josh play early morning sets that are melodic and experimental. i had no idea he could rock this hard! he played one of my favorite tracks, "pink peonies forest," and it made my night.

<> attentat
i was working the front gate during most of this set. it was getting quite cold up there and i was shivering, but i could not stop moving to what i could hear through the trees. i finally made it back down for the last twenty minutes -- a very good late night set.
