Ada, Cylob & Broker/Dealer @ Bentwave.org
WNYU radio show Bentwave brings us a sometimes-hypnotic but mostly rocking live set from Michaela Dippel, aka Ada, recorded in November 2004 at Ikon Club in NYC.
I was first introduced to Ada via her track “Blindhouse” on my constant and faithful companion in sleep, travel and almost everything else for almost a year now, the Triple-R “Friends” mix. I somehow let the task of purchasing Ada’s much-hyped Blondie album fall by the wayside, which, based on this live set, might have been a mistake.

While I was at the Bentwave site, I picked up two other gems: a fun live set from electro/idm purveyor Cylob, and an unexpectedly disco-filled 2+ hour long DJ set from Broker/Dealer. Broker/Dealer is another name that I associated with sweeping dancefloor minimal techno, so I was pleasantly surprised to find italo boogie and synthy disco from the likes of Daniel Wang, Lama, Was Not Was and Klein & MBO mixed among the minimal. Check around the 1 hour 5 minute mark for one of my alltime-favorite Patrick Cowley tracks, Sea Hunt.

Is there any chance of anyone knowing what most of the tracks on this mix were? Thanks for the info. Great site!

George - I too would like a tracklisting! Maybe I’ll flesh out what I can and ask some friends to help out with the rest.
