sounds quite nice. Anyone familiar with this?
Lyric attempt: African Survivor...has no feeling. African Survivor...Disco music. African Survivor...has no feeling x12.

I also mentioned it when replying to you previously Mr BenJ (don't suppose you got your phone out?)

This one? Contra/Reflexion still seems to be the latest thing on there. Not even any BITE updates.

While I'm here, may I add that I'm curious to hear more of that African track from last week.

No it's not that one, although they also played African survivor I think (actually they didn't ).
The vocals are from a woman

Well it's gone 1.00am in Italy and the Chems will have finished the last of their original slew of DJ dates about an hour ago. Although there is now of course another Italian date added for the 29th of July (only a 2 hour set but they do have 2manydjs in a support slot. That's a dream-4-hours really).

Here's a nice

. That clip could almost be a live gig if they added Adam's visuals. But looking at some other insta-clips, the crowd seems a bit tame. I suspect people at say, the Jesolo event got a more fun deal - an intimate nightclub where you could get as close you wanted to T&E rather than a big field. They certainly seemed to be dancing a lot more in the Jesolo clips.

Looks like T&E made some changes to the set. The Ricardo Miranda/Cool Keith mash-up was mixed into Horsepower in

Dont't know that one either, they mix it with Bolis Pupul - Teknow, so it could just be an edit they made

[Wolkenkrabber]

Geez, how could I miss your video, Benji?!? These BITE cover animations are fucking awesome! The brothers should get the license for this to use for their shows...

Personally I'd like to see more movement; lots of fast zig zagging. Feels a bit half done.

Logo looks good as Direct Buki gets mixed into Free Us (I think)

Free us definitely got played, there's another clip on insta.

The stage props look a bit safer than the ones that destroyed a stage in Barcelona last night. Surprised they played this track, but perhaps 2ManyDJ's didn't.

New DJ set on October 14 in Torino!

If I understood correctly this will be admission-free:

All the concerts will be free, subject to availability: a tribute to the city and its visitors, as well as the chance to promote the values of sharing and inclusivity that underpin the project.
The first tickets will be available online at ogrtorino.it from midday, Friday 30th June; further tickets will be released on surprise dates to be revealed through the official OGR newsletter: sign-up details can be found on the website.

Looks like a stripped down gif-version of the 2Many's one.

I think I reached the point of Chemical fandom where I'm now annoyed by "Hey Boy Hey Girl"

Funny thing is, if I hear someone else other than the Chemical Brothers play it, I'm absolutely ecstatic!

yep! it seems that was the only song that the crowd knew according to the recent vids.

Im not sure if im right but did the stage look pretty close to the print you got when you purchased Brotherhood?

Looking at the vids so far, the chems were only a few gear pieces away from having a somewhat decent live show! Stage is freakin huge!

Yeah, 9 out of 10 instagram videos of their dj sets is hbhg, I'm overdosing.

Thanks WRCL. "Keep on Making Me High" sounds different. Some of that is down to the acoustics, but I don't think all of it is. The track plays from 36.10 to the end.

The Youtuber edited a bit of the track out at 38.01. I wonder if that was the melodic interlude at 3.33-3.48 on BenJ's stand alone 'cut' from Nuits Sonores. I like that bit so I hope it's still on the track. The film-narration voice is much easier to hear: "And the rain comes down, like tears..".  Anyone recognise what it's from? I don't think it's Blade Runner. The bit around 38.30 through 39 minutes sounds like more of a breakdown and build up than we've heard previously. The fact that this is different from last time surely removes any lingering doubts about whether it's a Chemical tune.

EDIT: The bass guitar (not the brief descending bass line) from 37.16 to 37.30 reminds me of Block Rockin Beats. Am I reaching?

I hope they'll be adding somthing more to it. It really sounds interesting but lacks a bit depth. Maybe it's a RAR only track.

The bass at the mark you mentioned bears some resemblance with the BRB sample, but I'm not sure if it's really it.

Do you think the loop that comes before Teknow (at 12:20) is new Chems material too ?

your notice remind me some stuff from 2008

oh.. these times, when they played "The Pills" live with that lovely arpeggiator ❤❤❤

The other one that I'm not sure about is that "Time, Control" track at 24:36

The track sounds familiar. I think we heard it in footage from Razzmatazz

. I thought we ID'd it at some point (facebook?). *EDIT* Actually we didn't ID it. It was at 53.48 on the Nuits Sonores recording and the track ID was left blank. I'd be surprised if it's Chemical though.
There are several dance tracks called Time Control including this: Time Control which is basically a cover version of the Dr Who theme with female vox on top. The words 'Time Control' are quite "Dr Who"-ish, so maybe that phrase tends to feature on tracks made by fans of Dr Who (I dont know where I'm going with this...)

May I also add that Acid Is The Answer by Regal is indeed regal. Nice to see tracks like that being released in 2017.

[ThePumisher]

But where is Hot Acid Rhythm #2?

Yes ! Gotta be one of my favourite track from their recent sets.
