MARTIN BUTTRICH and GUTI live techno set in The Lab LA
When Martin Buttrich and Guti tag-team for a live set, you know you’re in for something textural, unpredictable, and deeply musical. This Lab LA session feels less like a DJ performance and more like watching two producers jam in a warehouse at dawn. The vibe is heady and focused, with every subtle modulation in the low-end felt viscerally. This is deep, hypnotic techno of the highest order, anchored at a deliberate 122.4 BPM and predominantly using the keys of 12A and 3B to build a moody, resonant soundscape.
The energy is overwhelmingly low-frequency (0.78 lows), creating a physical, rumbling pressure that’s more about immersion than explosion. Their live approach means arrangements breathe and evolve, with elements fading in and out organically over extended tracks. The selections are impeccable: 'Mousse T. - Horny' is a genius, left-field flip of a classic, 'Anti-Slam & W.E.A.P.O.N.
- Bang' is a raw, industrial-strength live weapon, 'Jamie Jones - Murder Mystery' adds a layer of eerie, melodic tension, and 'Dosem - All Locations (Edit)' is a 12-minute journey in minimalist progression. 'Sean & Dee - Game Of Thrones Theme' is the kind of wonderfully absurd edit that only works in this context. They begin in a cloud of atmospheric tension with 'Nate Chapman (US) - Purple Rain', guide the room through a dark, percussive maze, and conclude with the driving, cyclical closure of 'Blagoj Rambabov - Right to Be Wrong'. A live techno set for those who like their rhythms with narrative depth.
