Just bought my tickets for the Shpongle DJ set at the Showbox on May 8th. Really looking forward to this, obviously not the spectacle that is their live show, but just grateful to see a Shpongle show of any kind come to Seattle. Still hoping to go out to to London this Halloween for a show or shows at the Roundhouse…Simon? Think you guys are going to do it for a 3rd year? I’ll make the trek from Seattle if you do.

the live show is great, and be all means a must see, but each show will be unique, be it a dj set or a shpongle live show. both are amazing, and neither is better than another.

have fun in Seattle, be thankful they are coming to your area.

while you are there, since you are there enjoying the atmosphere and the environment, make sure you bring something to the show. be it funky colored clothes, a particular skill or talent you might be able to show off, or even cool hat.

Believe me I’m thankful Shpongle is coming to Seattle regardless of the format. I honestly didn’t think Shpongle would make it here at all so a DJ set certainly exceeds my expectations. I definitely want to experience the live show at some point as well, but this’ll keep me going for a while .

Hmm, what to bring to the show…I’ll be bringing a lot of friends, does that count? The second I found out about the show I sent out an email to all of my friends that are into Shpongle or that I thought would enjoy the show and I’ve got 15 people confirmed so far, including my parents! I’ll have to think about the funny hat…

Si played at the Fenix a few years ago, it was off tha hook! He brought FrankE with him and it was just sick.

So, what would a DJ set consist of that a live show wouldn’t?  Will they be playing their own music or just whatever turns their crank?

I love Shpongle and just bought a ticket for Seattle…before doing any research and finding out they’re doing the same thing (DJ set) in my hometown of Vancouver.  Duh.   

I’m GUESSING (I don’t go to this type of show normally) that it’s just dancing to the guy(s?) from Shpongle playing…whatever he likes?

I’ve seen a few Shpongle dj sets and its just Simon playing Shpongle music on CDjs. I’ve heard him play some Younger Brother as well but I’ve never heard him play anything that wasn’t his music during a Shpongle dj set.

Hallucinogen DJ sets sometimes have some non Hallucinogen tracks but is primarily Hallucinogen material or remixes of it.
