Sam Barker - live at SUPERBOOTH23

As a musician, DJ and co-founder of the Leisure System label, Sam Barker has helped push the boundaries of dance music in Berlin, looking beyond the realm of 4/4 techno to explore left-field sound design and rhythmic complexity. His musical approach - both solo and in the duo Barker & Baumecker with longtime Panorama Bar resident nd_baumecker - unselfconsciously combines bass music tropes, breakbeat, dub and ambient elements while still maintaining a strong connection to the dancefloor.
A classically trained musician, British-born and Berlin-based Barker is also an active instrument designer and builder who combines coding skills with analogue, electric and acoustic instrument construction under the name Voltek. Most recently he worked together with Underground Resistance’s Ray 7 on a sonic architectural exploration of empty factories in Detroit using self-programmed analogue percussion instruments.

The small orange 🍊 box with lights is the MIDI brain. RK006

[@Bin909able]

I saw him a few years ago in Covid, sitting widely apart. It was easily the best electronic live performance I ever saw. Time for a new album Sam 😊

[@alexbertram4271]

The best liveset I ever heard at any Superbooth

[@konstantinpfeffer4455]

Unbelievable! This tension in 30 min…just wow!

[@jackoflynn1487]

Anyone know exactly what the octa is being used for in the set? Iv heard he uses it to send midi chords to digitone but hard to tell here.

[@masonkiller1]

great performance! love the sound

[@justinhuffman2430]

Very smooth transitions❤ 🔥 ✨️

[@yapacc1]

Do it again, sam!

[@dauna86]

What type of mixer is he using next to the Syntakt?

[@AboveTheTrees00]

f yeah! new fav live performance. Charlie May/ Sasha of 2024. I can't even comprehend how he can do all of this just on 3 elektrons. Insane.

[@mickgatz214]

[@ooosss]

[@BassSalat]

Good question! Must be synced

[@klaun]

How is he using the Octa?

[@eternalsence3033]

Samples and sequencing everything, look at his fact magazine "against the clock" he explains a bit

[@lukasluftlaufer1093]

Anyone know the first track?

[@kylewall8521]

Unreleased, can't wait for a new record. His tunes from recent live sets are incredible

[@lukasluftlaufer1093]

@@kylewall8521 thanks. I already thought that this tune was a live exclusive.

[@fozzie_]

Half this set sounded unreleased to me. Can’t wait for more

[@kylewall8521]

@@fozzie_ totes, I love the alt version of paradise engineering

[@fozzie_]

I think I like it even more than the album version; need a high quality rip of it :)

[@elcaminauta]
