I’m looking for fellow Elektronauts based in West London, initially to meet up and discuss gear over a pint or to jam, eventually to form a sort of collective and see if we our combined energies can create something or just arrange regular meetups to discuss techniques, give each other honest feedback, share knowledge.
I’m no longer based in London but still head up that way fairly often and would love to get involved in something like this.
Have heard some of Tenchi’s music over a (fairly) big system at one of the London Elektron Users events (in fact I had the unenviable task of playing straight after him) so would love to get some Octa insight from him.
Hi guys! Im in North west London but sadly i haven’t really mastered using the elektron boxes in a full set live performance way yet, i more incorporate them into my general set up in the studio jamming a a bit and record the audio multi tracked and arrange in the daw… so i would have a lot to learn from some of you guys I’m sure… I also run a deep house/tehc/tehcno event in London so have some useful contacts with quite a few club/bar venues in london so would be interested in linking up with you london based elektornauts.
hi i’m in east london i was thinking of doing something like that as well it would be good to hook up with elktronauts… i wanted to put on a night with only live hardware sets could be fun…
Have a DJ gig on Thursday starting at 8 (in a highly overpriced restaurant/lounge in mayfair) and taking the Mrs out for a quick birthday dinner before hand so won’t make this one ,but will be awesome to keep this thread going in the future and have a london based elektron users club develop…
Tenchi and I met last night and came up with a couple of ideas:
Bi-monthly (to begin with) meeting, with gear to exchange techniques and teach/support each other. Maybe a jam session or live set at the end. Once a year a larger event with live sets;
Monthly Open PA night, maybe based on the various “open mic nights”. Back room of a pub, bring your own gear, 20 mins slots available on a first come/first served basis.
I really like the first idea, it could grow more into a “collective” sort, with members helping/supporting each other, giving feedbacks, tips etc.
So ideally we would need to find a place for the first meet-up, I guess a pub with a decent pa in Central would do, maybe a Sunday afternoon?
