Da Syndrome: DV8, you’re also a live-act (DV8 Rocks!) next to Donkey Rollers. What equipment do you use on-stage?
MC DV8: Well I’ll be very honest. I use a USB-stick and a microphone. It’s not live, I only push play. But I put in a lot of effort in making those tracks work. Let’s not call each other pussies, but the thing is that ‘live’ these days is just not that live. You push play and shit still goes on. And you know why? Because people, you guys, want perfection. You guys will fucking moan at one light going the wrong way at the wrong beat. Maybe you’ll complain about it on the internet.
It’s true. You all create a situation where artists and organizations have to pursue perfection. So you take as little a risk as you would possibly have to take. So in my case I take absolutely NO risk. I just put them all together, well actually I’m going to be honest about this. Zany puts them all together haha. And I’ll just go on stage, push play, but I sing the fucking vocals live.
You can all try and be magicians, but you have to perform your stuff to the crowd that likes your music. Thát is live. Don’t get me wrong, I like performing live, but the whole scene kind of evolved. I wouldn’t be offended if it’s not that live. The artist still makes the music for you to enjoy. Do you think 50.000 fucked up people are going to look like ‘Arhrhhhhhrh I do raahhhhh think he ahhhrrr played that composer very well rahhhhhhh’ Hahaha. It’s the truth.
Radical Redemption: It’s kind of the truth, because it’s the same as we do when the mix is made. But for Radical Redemption live it’s the whole fucking experience. The event organizers want the whole show to be huge. If you see a fireworks show, it’s all synced. You send in your tracks 6 weeks in advance so the fireworks company can sync the show.
Ophidian: That’s why I never have fireworks at my shows.
Radical Redemption: But for me Radical Redemption live is more about the show. The same as Minus Militia. We like to create something with our live-act. The shit needs to be tight man.
Crypsis: I agree with Joey. When I go live with Crypsis I stream vocals and effects. You make it special for the people, but it’s not really live. I chose MC Tha Watcher to pump up the people.
