Ali (Perc) here. A few people have been asking about my DJ set-up. I play using Ableton Live. My Macbook runs Live 9 and that is the only software installed on it. So glitches and dropouts are very rare. The processor runs at about 2% so I can keep the buffer size and latency really low. Everything I might want to play is already laid out on the session view of Ableton, it's currently about 800 tracks, it got to 1300 tracks recently but I trimmed it down a bit! Usually I play with an Allen & Heath Xone96 mixer . I connect the laptop to this using USB. This means I can play across 6 channels at once. The 4 main channels for music and the 2 aux channels for the effects returns. The K2 midi controller is used for instant mutes, BPM changes, effects (reverb + delay) sends and tweaking the parameters of the effects plugins. HOR only had an Xone92 mixer for me to use. So the silver box next to the mixer is a Native Instruments Traktor Audio 10 audio interface, which has 5 stereo audio outs. I connected 4 stereo pairs from this interface to the mixer and played using the 4 main mixer channels. The effects returns are mixed in with the percussion loops and all that goes to channel 4 on the mixer, then I used the K2 midi controller to control the volumes of the effects and percussion. I hope that is of help to you.
@@punkotero I set up a start point for the track before I play, usually 16 or 32 bars in from the start of the track, plus a loop set up near the end of the track. I don't use the k2 to adjust start points.
@@Ququestion It's a hybrid DJ set. So yeah, it's full tracks played on 2 or 3 of the 4 channels at any time. Any spare channels will be playing loops from my studio. Rides, hats, snares, pads, vocals etc. Within a minute of so of starting all 4 channels are being used until the end of the set.

@@PercTrax Don't misunderstand. I've been a fan for years, I'm just taking the piss. It is really funny that you only crack a brief smile when that dirty acid line kicjks in :)
The thing is. He is obviously not syncing the Tracks manually. But thats why i love him so much. He understands that its 2023. And Trackselecrion is by far much more important than the Equipment you use. He focussed on that and thats why he is so far ahead of everyone playing Techno.
What he is doing is far more technical and difficult to put together than mixing on vinyl. Notice almost all the time all 4 of his faders are up. He is never dancing around he is always working.
Awww love the subby. In the 90's used to go there on a saturday and slam at arches on a Friday. Last time I was there was Dave Clarke in 2011 . great club wi a nice , low ceiling, pounding soundsystem ❤
A perfectly crafted and brilliantly mixed set of wonderful and interesting techno works. You can feel the entire energy of the set from it's very beginning! Love it a lot! Massive Respect!
I will remember your event at Fabrica, Sofia (Bulgaria) a couple of years ago until I die. I can't wait for the upcoming party. And thank you for agreeing to take a photo with me back then even if you were almost in your cab 🚖
Wisconsin here. I was there. Even Furthur '17 I think. That was the year Ali was stuck in Amsterdam and just made it in early hours of morning. Unbelievable set.
At 26:05 I confirm the operability of what in the very moment I beheld that a mysterious click I thought little of as I had already began preforming this very exothermic letting off of the basking in the sound shrewdly having a fortification like effect in aiding one in the keeping of a solemn solitude with which ideas like "a spoonful of [nescafe…]helps the soap bubbles go down [a drain🪩]… to be con't'd!!!!!!!!! :-)
Lifecycle ❤ reminds me of playing decks b2b with my flatmate wasted in my bedroom in 1998 , mixing it with surgeon- magneze and the advent - bad boy ( luke slater remix) and pretty much any vinyl we had off the jeff mills liquid room mix cd. That one in this set after lifecycle has a very similar vocal sample to "the club" on x-trax digital xpress. Man woman love was a serious come up tune on a double dunt :) but that acid on Keep your love was the thing for me
Literally listened to most of the DJ s here however You Perc Remind me of the 90s holy Disco Biscuoit and Blotters wtf takes me feel like I was made by Cuberdyne Systems Fucking Bery nice1 4 Slamming some Serious Sound 2023 Technocratic lol!

thanks for sharing!!! respect and admiring at the same time.
Nice explanation of the setup! How do change the start point of a song, is possible with the k2? Or are you already have your cues prepared?
@@punkotero I set up a start point for the track before I play, usually 16 or 32 bars in from the start of the track, plus a loop set up near the end of the track. I don't use the k2 to adjust start points.
I wonder, do you play full songs on each channel or are these stems that you compile live?

Thanks so much for the support around 45:00 Marcio M - Paranoid Oscillator 🤟
I had this set accidentally open on 2 tabs that were slightly out of sync. Didn't realise till the end and still sounded pretty good!
Jeff Mills tracks still sounding fresh 26 years on 🙌🏽
Clearly, Perc loves us and wants us to be happy!
He does crack one brief smile when that acid line kicks in :D
I love DJ-ing and playing music. I'm not unhappy or moody. I'm just concentrating on what I'm doing!
