Olaf Quintessa – live at The Drome – a Birmingham techno special

Olaf Quintessa is a regular DJ in the online virtual world of Second Life (indeed it was he who helped to get the Mantis show syndicated there). This is great mix, not only filled with some superb cuts and tracks but mixed and constructed like a pro. Rest assured this will be getting repeat listens at the Darkfloor studios.

Don’t sleep on this.

Olaf writes of his set: Back to my roots. Mostly old school Birmingham techno from the likes of Surgeon, Regis, Female, but also a few other bits that match the vibe. Hats off to the House of God in Birmingham where it all began! Thanks to everyone who came along to The Drome in Second Life or listened in to the live audio stream..

The House of God was the first place I ever went clubbing, first place I ever heard techno over a big soundsystem. I can safely say I’ve never been the same since! I’ve always loved the visceral machine music that came out of Birmingham from producers like Surgeon, Regis and Female. It’s a David Cronenburg / HR Giger style of industrial rhythm where the machines have organic organs that spill out. Evocative, gut-wrenching and euphoric.
