Nice set. Digging this. Care to give us a live equipment/software list? Also, any type of "director's cut" breakdown of equipment/sounds/etc on a timeline would be sweet

Overall setup:
Powerbook: running ableton live, with loops/one shots from several tracking sessions for several tracks by The Wretch. Theres one shots of sidstation oscillator noise floor samples, various S+H triggered glitch on a Yamaha CS-15 forming percussion loops (thats the sound that opens the set after the vocal sample), plus a bunch of nord modular for pads/etc - all sampled and set up in live. Most drums are either machinedrum sequences previously recorded, or misc. breaks and loops layered and tweaked in Live.
Elektron Monomachine - I ran bass, simple drum arrangements, and many different melody parts on this. It's got 6 tracks each with a 64 step sequencer, so I used it to it's fullest, using 4 "songs during the course of the set to accompany parts from the ableton session.
Both of those were fed into a mixer, with a Boss DD-20 Giga delay feeding into an EH Holy Grail pedal for a send. I mixed between the two for the whole set, sometimes 100% wet through the delay, other times no delay, etc. I tweaked out some effects in Ableton with an Evolution UC-16 knob box as well (buffer override on some breaks here and there)
Future sets, I'm hoping to do with more emphasis on the Monomachine and possibly bringing the machinedrum as well as a Future Retro revolution for some live acid
hope that helps
