[Dynagroove] Miss Kitten Review

[Aaron Michelson]

Well put, Zack! And thanks! Erin Stephenson from This is Music was playing in the front room with us as well. Too much fun!

Anyway, as for the main event I want to throw my two cents in.....

Miss Kittin absolutely, positively tore shit up like I've failed to see in ages! In fact, last night was one of the best nights I've been to in LA since I moved here last year. She dropped hard, tech-y tuneage while tweaking the mixer like she was programming a microwave. When she finally did pull out the microphone and sing harmonies over some tracks towards the end of the night Kittin nearly brought me to tears.

Last night's show really raised the bar for techno in Los Angeles. Good, mixed crowd that got really into it, and thoroughly entertaining talent. Kudos to Synthetik for making it all happen. I'm looking forward to The Hacker show in October.

Ein, Zwei, Drei, Vier, Fünf, Sechs, Sieben, Acht.....

Aaron
