From 2008 to 2010 I was involved in a Glitch, Bass, Turntablism duo called, Headrockaz along with DJ Dubmatique. It was a great time for live performance experimentation. Not satisfied anymore with just mixing two records together I wanted to create a custom experience that would change and evolve with each show. This was the beginning of what would eventually become the basis of Libations & Oscillation's live shows. Having been no stranger at this point to performing at Ambient Campouts I knew this would be the perfect place to dive in. Sadly while many sets from earlier Ambient Campouts have been lost to the ether this special performance was preserved for your enjoyment.

This was originally recorded back in the 2008 timeframe, but like so many of my projects lost when the cheap hardware I was using crashed. What did we ever do before the cloud? While the unfinished project recording files we’re never recovered the 35 minutes of test rendering was. Originally this was a mix done for my new girlfriend, now wife, who had missed out on my DJ glory days. Having “retired” from DJ’ing in 2005/06 I was convinced to make her a mixtape, as hopeless romantics often do. She is way more of a hip-hop head than I, but we agreed on Downtempo and Trip-Hop. This idea what a holdover from the Noctum Records days when I thought it would be fun to do a series based on what a DJ would play in a coffeehouse rather than a club. The name is taken from a type of Roobios tea. Which is a play on the Tea House that my now wife ran back then, along with her nickname, “Red”. During its life it was played during an Ambient Camping event and then eventually release on the nurevolution studios podcast in 2010.
