Set Report AMFM 268


This week´s #AMFM is one hour of my most challenging gig in 2019. Click to listen, read on, if you wanna know why.

May 1st 2019, so almost exactly a year ago, I was booked at a small Open Air called In Hannover, which took place at the location Tante Hanne and which was organized by my friend Schreckie, who has been the main promoter in Hannover for more then 20 years now. I played Mayday festival the night before, or shall I rather say the morning, as I did the closing at 8 in the morning. After a short sleep in the hotel, me and my tour manager Simon took a train from Dortmund to Hannover in the afternoon, as my set time was 7pm - 10pm, closing the party. I didn’t have much for breakfast, so I started to get hungry in the train. As there was no food on board, I remembered that I had a chocolate bar still in my bag from weeks before, I will not mention here where I got it ;) (Thanks Damian). So I figured that I might as well eat the chocolate bar, some sugar will help to get some energy back. I remember I was watching something on my iPad, when I started noticing a weird feeling and that those people on my screen started to look like 3D. I had been smoking a little weed earlier on, so I thought to myself, well that has a weird effect on me. My situation didn’t get much better and after a while I told Simon, who was sitting a row in front of me, that I was feeling weird. When he looked at me, he just shouted out, what did you do, you look totally all over the place. I tried to concentrate and picked the chocolate wrap out of the trash and looked at it. It said Venice on there, not much else, and then it dawned on me, that this was mushroom chocolate. Now I have to reveal that up to this point, I have never ever in my life taken mushrooms nor LSD of any kind. To make a long story short, I crawled out of the train when we arrived and I was in mushroom wonderland. Weirdly funny and scary at the same time. My biggest concern was not being able to play the gig, as I could hardly coordinate my hand movements. That stressed me out a little, but everyone around me took super care and calmed me down a lot (thanks again Simon). Not sure how, but I somehow managed to start playing with a 30 min delay, after barely making it on the stage. I remember looking at my mixer and it looked like a little Lego toy. In front of me a big crowd of people in the setting sunshine, totally up for party and me trying not to fall over and trying to figure out which button to turn and fader to push. I guess only due to my routine and knowing my setup inside out, I was able to pull that gig off. Just a day later I learned that I took a double dose and many are still wondering how I managed to even walk, not to mention play (tap on my own shoulder for being so disciplined). This is one hour of those 2,5h that I ended up playing, so don’t expect manic mixing, maybe don’t even expect much. But I thought I share this experience with you during these times, so you have a laugh and can hear how I play when I am high as a kite. Maybe not much different to other times really, or? Lemme know what you think. Stay safe and healthy and keep your physical distance.
