Via Philip Sherburne I learned Cocoon Styled have gathered together a truly gigantic digest of links to bootleg recordings of techno sets from all over the world in 2006. There are many sets linked to for each artist featured including the likes of James Holden, Dominik Eulberg, Shinedoe, Magda, Miss Kitten, Adam Bayer, Richie Hawtin, Andre Galluzzi, Ricardo Villalobos, Tiefschwarz and many more. Go take a look, I hope your broadband connection is feeling healthy today.

In light of my recent mention of Ricardo Villalobos' 2006 release Fizheuer Zieheuer, the mix available at Cocoon Styled from his set at Fabric's 7th Birthday Party (Part 2) begins with this track and continues with an interesting upcoming release from Villalobos: an 18 minute remix of Dubstep star Shackleton's brooding, 9/11 musing track 'Blood On My Hands' focusing on the vocal:


"When I see the towers fall,
It cannot be denied that,
As a spectacle,
It is a realization of the mind.

You see, I'm standing on a mountaintop
And letting out a scream,
It's the language of the earth,
It is the language of the beasts.

There's no point to look behind us,
We left the corpse behind,
Because flesh is weak and forms break down.
They cannot last forever."
