Check BeardyMan . He makes live covers of requests from audience. One person gives title, second genre third style etc. He is genius. LMNC is also awesome!
This was Berlin show. He did quite a few covers live on the stage, from suggestions of the public. If you have the chance, go to his concerts, they are really great and fun!

I think he could absolutely kick ass at Coachella on one of the side stages. I'm not normally into electronic music, but this is being done live and is absolutely filthy.
@@triptheroad you ever been on a stage with big subs? I've had pints of beer migrate 3 feet across a table from the bass rattle. Also some PAs nearly fall over from people moshing too hard but that's a little different.
I watched Howard Jones on stage in the early-1980s "construct" each of his songs. He'd crawl underneath his bank of synths and plug something in with a grrrrr-thump which would trigger a drum pattern, and then a bassline, and then he'd stand and play the rest while he sang. It was mind-blowing to me - a tech-influenced teenager - at the time. This is so very similar. I especially love the Ghost Busters jump suit. Absolutely suits the vibe.
I got to see Howard Jones play a few years back at a festival, and while it was great, I would have really loved to see him back in that era. His modern show is a pretty straight forward pop concert. Still a pleasure to hear live, but I don't think there was much improv or "creation" going on.
@@lightfantastik It was a treat then and the memory is a treat now. It was a simpler time but also very complex to make all your kit work in some sort of unison. Apart from our man here in this video, there are a couple of other videos on RUclips which hint at the challenges - one from New Order (Perfect Kiss) where Hooky seems to be using a prototype Simmons multipad which was falling apart as he was using it, and the other is one where The Who's Pete Townsend explains how he created the keyboard part to Won't Get Fooled Again, and the challenges he had recreating it for live performances. Since then, the music industry got all computerised, and it hasn't all been as bad as people like to think. I've been in bands since the late 1980s - I play drums and have gone through acoustic and electronic kits. I remember when MIDI became affordable to us late teens. We rushed out to buy newer synths but we kept the Juno60 and the Maplin mono synth (great for bass), and I continued to play acoustic drums with a Roland Octapad and a few Simmons pads to supplement the kit. We were able to link most of it up to trigger sounds with a pad on one half of the stage from a box located on the other half of the stage, and playing along to sequenced percussion sounds made me a more honest drummer. Today I have a small collection of keyboards, sound modules, acoustic and e-drums, all hooked-up to a laptop. I could do amazing things if only I had half the inventive mind I had when I was younger.

Now he needs some good songs. Got the sound and arrangements nailed.

Back in the early 2000s, like 04-07 I was completely entrenched in the electronic music scene. Traveling all over North America for events from small basement sets to multi day festivals. Back then I thought that this would be the future of electronic music. Someone creating the music live on stage as they went; not just pressing play on a laptop and doing some fading here and there. I'm glad to see there are people doing this.
I have never seen this man perform live before and I'm absolutely blown away. Phenomenal work. Ill definitely be making an effort to catch a show some day.
Absolutely worth it! I was at a show in Prague two weeks ago and it was one of the best concerts I've ever visited. It's exactly like the videos, with all the mistakes, which add his music the character. He's a great performer!
I absolutely love all the interaction, the mistakes (I feel bad saying they’re mistakes as that’s an element that I think is so incredibly engaging) He’s one of our people, if I was a musician I’d like to be like Sam, what a talent!!
The RUclips rabbit hole brought me here from things completely unrelated. I'm not disappointed. I've never seen anything like this before, but it made me crank up the volume and every time I think I'm done watching it I find it very difficult to click away. Nice job, looks like fun if you know what you are doing.
Amen. His voice has a great rattle to it that suits a punk and alt style so well. Sounds like Joe Talbot. Song 2 absolutely needs a recover. So fucking sweet.
Well yeah analogue synth stuff isn’t usually made for dancing tbh, it’s usually super weird and experimental noise music. The artist Caribou used to do shows where he made analogue synth sounds and layered them and shit… def more on the weird end of the spectrum.
@@krusher181 well I guess that's why. LOL. To me it's always just sounds mixed together to make music. But I think it sounds good regardless. Maybe I'm weird but I always loved this kind of stuff.
Yes there were. Went to one of the last huge raves in St.Louis. It was in two huge hangers. One was called red pill and the other was called blue pill. Ended up being know as the Matrix rave. I am 40 years old. I graduated in 2002 and that rave was in 2004. So don't tell me something I know. I even went to candy rave 2000 and it got shut down after 5 hours. So yes their was raves in early 2000s. After 2004 people tried to get raves going in all different city's. They would get shut down before they even got set up or got shut down as it got started. After that they turned into drug party's at closed down bowling alleys, skating rinks, etc. Then they tried legal "raves" that I would not consider raves. Happen during day time at huge Venus. They did good drug searches, Had police as security. I know what I'm talking about.
I just listened to all the other versions of Desperado Vespa, and this one is by far the best. The vocal performance is great, perfectly blown out, and sits perfectly in the mix. And the boily synth embellishments pop in this version the most. I love that you tricked me into discorvering the song by playing a Blur cover first. I just eish this exact version was on Spotify so I could add it to my playlist.
The fact he built this entire synth from scratch, and also the fact he basically invented the Kosmo modular format and dispersed all the technical data on it for free for the wider world is why Sam will always be one of my favorite musicians and engineers, probably forever.
I love how the camera is near some speaker picking up the bass and shaking to it. As a modular enthusiast, this is hard as hell to pull off live. Top notch.
God damn, this is badass. I love the fact that everything you're doing has a purpose but I can't follow 90% of it. Also you have a weirdly perfect voice for Blur songs.
Been a long time fan of the channel but this is the first time I've caught a segment from a live show. Now I know my ass needs to grab a ticket back to England to catch a show. Some phenomenal shit.
You Mr. basic person are forgiven. Reject the false media and you may continue to partake with your betters. I mean human peers. We say stupid things just like humans say many times. we're all regular human person here acting exactly like perfectly regular human persons do after all you are free to spread your interests around. You could be a drum and bass person, techno, trance, jungle, dubstep, even happy hardcore ( in moderation), trip hop, or dance. But that's it. Everything else is blemish on your mother's soul and completely unacceptable in a civilized society. But it's whatever bro. If you want to risk your eternal soul that's on you.
I know it would be a nightmare shipping your synths overseas but God I hope you make it to the US some day. Been watching you for years and you deserve wayyyy more recognition. So much talent and skill on display here.
Not too sure how I found myself here, but that was freakin' awesome! As a bit of a metal head, you've made me question why there's not more modular synth in metal... There's so much potential there ^^
Agree with you on the fact we need more synth in metal. I love Master Boot Record tracks where they combine synths and guitar (especially in their live recordings), and Mick Gordon did so many great tracks for DOOM OST with synths and downtuned guitar. Huge potential there.
@Kwacker_ you need to check out the RUclips video IGORRR PARPAING and make sure you watch the whole video. Heavy thrash with an insane full modular synth solo toward the end!🤘🎹☠️ ruclips.net/video/urU5JS4Eb-k/видео.htmlsi=w_rz_mCO2M9LftbS
If you put a cover like that on spotify I think I would destroy my sound system playing it. It took you about a minute to throw together an absolutely fierce track.
Hell, this sounds awesome. Great job, mate! I like your stage presence. You're like a train conductor telling everybody that the boiler might explode anytime, but we'll try to make it work regardless. Humility and bonkers bass really goes well together in book.
Song 2 is like the Seven Nation Army of its time. No matter where you go, who you meet, or how much musical talent anyone might have - some riffs are so intuitive, it’s as though humans are just born knowing how to chant along to them. So simple, they’re actually genius.
Not really. Seven Nation has become folk music, used around the world in football stadiums going way beyond it's origin. Song 2 doesn't even have a riff, just chords and Woo Hoo. Never heard that on the terrace.
@@RJ1J a riff can consist of chords, single notes, or both. Song 2 was in every arena & stadium on the planet before Seven Nation Army was released - which is why I said “of its time”.
This reminded me of a modular synth version of Wintergatan, lol. It's such a tall and massive setup. I love how everything's sounding, it must be super invigorating to jam with this!
Martin is too much of a perfectionist to achieve this level of performance. This is live, loud, out of balance, dirty, and imperfect. But that's its beauty. It's like watching a forest burn majestically.
Bro is actually a technician on the Death Star, just operating a console, but dropping enough LSD that he can press the button to obliterate Alderaan when Darth V gives him the nod.
I just came from the Techmoan channel for the answerphone machine… and now I discovered the pure fusion of Kraftwerk machinery with a Depeche Mode on ecstasy ! Love it ! Yeah, clearly love it !!! ❤
Holy shit am i glad the algorithm finally sent you my way, what an absolute legend!!! I can't wait to binge a ton of this mans content, and hopefully catch some shows live!
This is a modular hardware synth. Every single cable makes a patch between two electrical and musical components; the amount of combinations is immense and is what virtual or software instruments emulate thru software code. A DJ on the other hand cannot create music on the fly, but can create unique mashups by isolating drums, instrumentals, and vocals from a song and creatively remixing these 3 elements along with other transactions. Source: 12 years in audio engineering 3 years DJ’ing! Thinking of making a course at this point lol
This is what I expect when I think about what a DJ is doing live, but instead it's all on a computer and turn tables. This is a real show. Much more entertaining and engaging for the audience. Not to mention the awesome sound.
I think I've watched this video at least 50 times already, it just doesn't get old! The sound is just phenomenal, as is everything else about this performance. Wish I was there! Desperado Vespa combined with Grandma's Money especially is just so damn good!
just got this recommended this by a friend, who got it from a random home feed recommendation... we both found gold tonight you are amazing for doing all this live and on the go, great work
Generally speaking I feel as if nowadays there's too much madness in the world, but looking at this clip I have to admit that we could use more of *this* kind of madness. This was great :).
Not only is your technique and control of the instrument amazing, but also you carelessly add incredibly curated and accurate vocals. Seriously, I feel like I'm watching a historical art moment happen real time. True talent ♥ Congrats and kudos from Argentina.
At the very start of my attempts at making music, I used to love hooking all of the random gear I had acquired via yard sales and hand me downs together in different ways while allowing a massive delay to endlessly loop any sounds I created so I could twiddle effects and such to see what would happen. I spent hours doing it and loved the amazing and one of a kind improvisational moments that would occur. Everyone told me it was a waste of time and not really music. I eventually listened to them and gave it up. Twenty years later, I learned that what I was doing is now called modular synthesis or eurorack. Watching LMNC shows me what I might have learned to do if I had been brave enough to stick with it.

The fact that he can sing too means he’s not just a DJ pushing buttons! This guy has talent beyond recognition
yea bro I play an instrument that has over 1000 buttons and dials and I know exactly what they all do. Freaking amazing. Been watching for years.

Look up synthpunk legend N8Noface
@@AmandaRaeGAmate, this guy's as electropunk as it gets, he built all his own kit and runs his own museum dedicated to obscure, obsolete shit.
This is literally how Albarn started the Gorillaz. Ghost Train was the first song he made under that name and it vibes hard.
"Ghost Train" sounds like a song I'd like to Suplex.
@@IronCurtaiNYCI see what you did there
Back in the early 2000s, like 04-07 I was completely entrenched in the electronic music scene. Traveling all over North America for events from small basement sets to multi day festivals. Back then I thought that this would be the future of electronic music. Someone creating the music live on stage as they went; not just pressing play on a laptop and doing some fading here and there. I'm glad to see there are people doing this.
You know the music is good when the camera is bobbing along to it.
bobbing? my dude....the bass would knock the camera down if someone wasnt anchoring it....
@@justingoldstein1577😂😂😂
Or when the rear view mirror is. Sometimes it's dangerously distracting watching the rear view mirror at night while blasting music in the car.
I have never seen this man perform live before and I'm absolutely blown away. Phenomenal work. Ill definitely be making an effort to catch a show some day.
Absolutely worth it! I was at a show in Prague two weeks ago and it was one of the best concerts I've ever visited. It's exactly like the videos, with all the mistakes, which add his music the character. He's a great performer!
I feel like such a idiot for missing his shows
I absolutely love all the interaction, the mistakes (I feel bad saying they’re mistakes as that’s an element that I think is so incredibly engaging) He’s one of our people, if I was a musician I’d like to be like Sam, what a talent!!
The RUclips rabbit hole brought me here from things completely unrelated. I'm not disappointed. I've never seen anything like this before, but it made me crank up the volume and every time I think I'm done watching it I find it very difficult to click away. Nice job, looks like fun if you know what you are doing.
After that blur cover I NEED MORE HEAVY AND INTENSE COVERS!!Pure talent right there
Amen. His voice has a great rattle to it that suits a punk and alt style so well. Sounds like Joe Talbot. Song 2 absolutely needs a recover. So fucking sweet.
Great version of Song 2! That definately needs a revisit.
Would love to hear a studio cover of it.
Fully agreed
Bet!
the jumpsuit fit mixed with tinkering on the GIZMO is such a vibe. Fucking awesome vibes my guy.
As many raves I have been to throughout the 90s and early 2000s I have never seen a set up like that. Amazing.
Well yeah analogue synth stuff isn’t usually made for dancing tbh, it’s usually super weird and experimental noise music. The artist Caribou used to do shows where he made analogue synth sounds and layered them and shit… def more on the weird end of the spectrum.
@@krusher181 well I guess that's why. LOL. To me it's always just sounds mixed together to make music. But I think it sounds good regardless. Maybe I'm weird but I always loved this kind of stuff.
You can see some smaller versions in techno; can't remember if it was blawan or ansome who was doing modsynth sets.
There were no raves in the 2000s. Once they left the illegal warehousees of the night and ventured into stadiums and the daylight, raving died.
Yes there were. Went to one of the last huge raves in St.Louis. It was in two huge hangers. One was called red pill and the other was called blue pill. Ended up being know as the Matrix rave. I am 40 years old. I graduated in 2002 and that rave was in 2004. So don't tell me something I know. I even went to candy rave 2000 and it got shut down after 5 hours. So yes their was raves in early 2000s. After 2004 people tried to get raves going in all different city's. They would get shut down before they even got set up or got shut down as it got started. After that they turned into drug party's at closed down bowling alleys, skating rinks, etc. Then they tried legal "raves" that I would not consider raves. Happen during day time at huge Venus. They did good drug searches, Had police as security. I know what I'm talking about.
I just listened to all the other versions of Desperado Vespa, and this one is by far the best. The vocal performance is great, perfectly blown out, and sits perfectly in the mix. And the boily synth embellishments pop in this version the most. I love that you tricked me into discorvering the song by playing a Blur cover first. I just eish this exact version was on Spotify so I could add it to my playlist.
The disjointed intro is so cool when it blends into the opening riff. The vocals remind me of Crystal Castles
Honestly if you uploaded all of these songs in the set as live versions to Spotify that would be so tight.

@@brendan4859 spotify robs its artists, torrent with a direct way to donate/pay whatever you want would work better.
The concept of modular synths already blows my mind but seeing somebody play one live on stage takes it to a whole other level.
15:17 is the closest I heard to daft punk being resurrected yet, incredible performance, you really do know your machine on heart
lighting hits synth abomination with mohawk furby on top
"ITS ALIVE!"
I was thinking this as well, this has some serious Daft Punk ALIVE vibes
The fact he built this entire synth from scratch, and also the fact he basically invented the Kosmo modular format and dispersed all the technical data on it for free for the wider world is why Sam will always be one of my favorite musicians and engineers, probably forever.
Was thinking the same !
holy shit I literally thought "it fucking is daft punk" the moment it went off
My first time witnessing this - im blown away!!!!! Love it, love the overalls, and the whole vibe, what a skill.
I love how the camera is near some speaker picking up the bass and shaking to it. As a modular enthusiast, this is hard as hell to pull off live. Top notch.
God damn, this is badass.
I love the fact that everything you're doing has a purpose but I can't follow 90% of it. Also you have a weirdly perfect voice for Blur songs.
I said it elsewhere, but he’s got that punky rasp that really suits grungier stuff so well.
Been a long time fan of the channel but this is the first time I've caught a segment from a live show. Now I know my ass needs to grab a ticket back to England to catch a show. Some phenomenal shit.
How is this so clean? I'm as far from an electronic music fan as it gets, but this is amazing. It's raw, it slaps.
Maybe you are and dont know it yet 😮
You Mr. basic person are forgiven. Reject the false media and you may continue to partake with your betters. I mean human peers. We say stupid things just like humans say many times. we're all regular human person here acting exactly like perfectly regular human persons do after all you are free to spread your interests around. You could be a drum and bass person, techno, trance, jungle, dubstep, even happy hardcore ( in moderation), trip hop, or dance. But that's it. Everything else is blemish on your mother's soul and completely unacceptable in a civilized society. But it's whatever bro. If you want to risk your eternal soul that's on you.
I know it would be a nightmare shipping your synths overseas but God I hope you make it to the US some day. Been watching you for years and you deserve wayyyy more recognition. So much talent and skill on display here.

Thank you algorithms of YT for bringing me here. Dude, you fucking rock!
Man, i don't even know what this, i don't know the context, this just got recommended to me and i am NOT disappointed! This is fantastic!
welcome to the channel
I desperately want a full live cover of Song 2 now, that was fucking incredible
Not too sure how I found myself here, but that was freakin' awesome! As a bit of a metal head, you've made me question why there's not more modular synth in metal... There's so much potential there ^^
Agree with you on the fact we need more synth in metal. I love Master Boot Record tracks where they combine synths and guitar (especially in their live recordings), and Mick Gordon did so many great tracks for DOOM OST with synths and downtuned guitar. Huge potential there.
@Kwacker_ you need to check out the RUclips video IGORRR PARPAING and make sure you watch the whole video. Heavy thrash with an insane full modular synth solo toward the end!🤘🎹☠️
ruclips.net/video/urU5JS4Eb-k/видео.htmlsi=w_rz_mCO2M9LftbS
Metalhead as well, check out Gunship or Pertubator. There's always classic NIN or Ministry for that realm back in the 90's too.
Ohh no links allowed i guess 😅 Look up for "Igorr" if you dont know them already. Great use of Synth and some of the best Metal in Europa.

I can give you punk with with a semi modular KORG
‘ I built & designed my own instrument then performed requests live…. woohoo 🥳 it wasn’t easy…but nothing is!
Respect ✊
If you put a cover like that on spotify I think I would destroy my sound system playing it. It took you about a minute to throw together an absolutely fierce track.
This is such a bold endeavor. I love your "ride it until the wheels come off..... and then come back" live style damn.
"I'm horrible at keyboard" then nails it. Liked it alot! Would love to see you live somday!
Hell, this sounds awesome. Great job, mate!
I like your stage presence. You're like a train conductor telling everybody that the boiler might explode anytime, but we'll try to make it work regardless.
Humility and bonkers bass really goes well together in book.
LOL @ the condition of the SACRED piece of PAPER. Oh man that thing has been through the ringer!
Fucker was construction paper, now its just tissue paper with a hope and a dream
This is so good, man!
Thanks dude!!
It is! And so are you!
Impressive watching this tech priest awaken the machine spirit in such a way, praise the Omnissiah
Song 2 is like the Seven Nation Army of its time.
No matter where you go, who you meet, or how much musical talent anyone might have - some riffs are so intuitive, it’s as though humans are just born knowing how to chant along to them. So simple, they’re actually genius.
Not really. Seven Nation has become folk music, used around the world in football stadiums going way beyond it's origin. Song 2 doesn't even have a riff, just chords and Woo Hoo. Never heard that on the terrace.
@@RJ1J a riff can consist of chords, single notes, or both. Song 2 was in every arena & stadium on the planet before Seven Nation Army was released - which is why I said “of its time”.
Literally never heard of Song 2 being used in stadiums before today. SNA is definitely more popular as a chant for events
@@yasininn76 skill issue.
@@yasininn76it was used a lot for half time breaks in England
This reminded me of a modular synth version of Wintergatan, lol. It's such a tall and massive setup. I love how everything's sounding, it must be super invigorating to jam with this!
Martin is too much of a perfectionist to achieve this level of performance. This is live, loud, out of balance, dirty, and imperfect. But that's its beauty. It's like watching a forest burn majestically.
Bro is actually a technician on the Death Star, just operating a console, but dropping enough LSD that he can press the button to obliterate Alderaan when Darth V gives him the nod.
Blur might be available to open for LMNC on the next tour :)
Brings me back to when I was first introduced to daft punk (and techno in general) after watching the new tron. Favorite genre ever since.
Yeah, I was def getting "Daft Punk: Alive 1997" and "2007" vibes.
It’s got a lot of the old techno synth stuff going on yeah. Good to hear younger people like the old EDM shit too.
I just came from the Techmoan channel for the answerphone machine… and now I discovered the pure fusion of Kraftwerk machinery with a Depeche Mode on ecstasy !
Love it ! Yeah, clearly love it !!! ❤
Holy shit am i glad the algorithm finally sent you my way, what an absolute legend!!! I can't wait to binge a ton of this mans content, and hopefully catch some shows live!
When the bass started blurring the camera, that's when I felt I was actually there 🥰
have to listen again with a proper woofer, not airpod bed‘ish 🔊
This randomly popped up on my feed and I'm blown away with this guy's work. Wow. Big vibing! Shout out from Los Angeles!
Wow the knobs he turns actually do something. Never new that, I tought DJ's touch them for good luck.
This is a modular hardware synth. Every single cable makes a patch between two electrical and musical components; the amount of combinations is immense and
is what virtual or software instruments emulate thru software code.
A DJ on the other hand cannot create music on the fly, but can create unique mashups by isolating drums, instrumentals, and vocals from a song and creatively remixing these 3 elements along with other transactions.

@@Nahhh868 I was being sarcastic. It is amazing the stuff audio engineers and real DJ's do.
@@VladimirLadev Don't worry, at least one person got the joke! 😉🤣🤣🤣
achtually 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩
@@innerludeYeah haha knowledge is totally not cool, learning is lame right? It can go straight to heck for all I care.
"You are programmers, not musicians... wait, oh shit..." xD One of the best performances live
Def squashed that vibe. We aint got no roads here!
8:00 don't apologize man haha, i was vibing and you kinda killed it. go in with confidence!
This is what I expect when I think about what a DJ is doing live, but instead it's all on a computer and turn tables. This is a real show. Much more entertaining and engaging for the audience. Not to mention the awesome sound.
Not all djs, some djs play live synths, and do it a lot better than this guy! look at Blawan, Surgeon, Karenn.
@@djcheckmate1ok, but did they design and build their own synths?
Doesn't make it less impressive
Go watch some pro turntable battles and then come back and tell everyone dj's aren't artists and have no skills.
Bodzin live @ Piz Gloria. What an experience it must've been
Desperado Vespa is easily one of my favorites. Looks fucking amazing live.
I think I've watched this video at least 50 times already, it just doesn't get old! The sound is just phenomenal, as is everything else about this performance. Wish I was there! Desperado Vespa combined with Grandma's Money especially is just so damn good!
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and was a big fan of Jean Michelle Jarrre at the time so it's great to see something similar take place nowadays.
I had no idea you did live shows like this. Absolutely amazing.
just got this recommended this by a friend, who got it from a random home feed recommendation... we both found gold tonight
you are amazing for doing all this live and on the go, great work
Generally speaking I feel as if nowadays there's too much madness in the world, but looking at this clip I have to admit that we could use more of *this* kind of madness. This was great :).
Running hardware like this as a live performance will always blow my mind.
Ayy I remember you from the Furby Organ! Happy to see you've had another viral video, you deserve it, you're raw skill!
This is one of the best things i have seen in a while.
It really is.
i like how camera shakes on bass immersion moments
i dont know why you came up on my feed but now all i can think of is seeing live 😍😍😍
What level of sorcery am I witnessing?
Amazing!
Keep crushing it!
Everything reminds me so much of Daft Punk, it's absolutely amazing!
Came up on suggested videos - cool bit of getting songs together, a lot of knob twiddling!
Not only is your technique and control of the instrument amazing, but also you carelessly add incredibly curated and accurate vocals. Seriously, I feel like I'm watching a historical art moment happen real time. True talent ♥ Congrats and kudos from Argentina.
He is actually restraining the machine a bit from taking over 😮
At the very start of my attempts at making music, I used to love hooking all of the random gear I had acquired via yard sales and hand me downs together in different ways while allowing a massive delay to endlessly loop any sounds I created so I could twiddle effects and such to see what would happen. I spent hours doing it and loved the amazing and one of a kind improvisational moments that would occur. Everyone told me it was a waste of time and not really music. I eventually listened to them and gave it up. Twenty years later, I learned that what I was doing is now called modular synthesis or eurorack. Watching LMNC shows me what I might have learned to do if I had been brave enough to stick with it.
A geniune polymath of talents, love your content and thanks for sharing a glimpse of your amazing live performance
