CNTRL Tour To Feature Live Streaming Sets

Yesterday marked the beginning of the CNTRL: Beyond EDM tour in the state of New York – and while inclimate weather held up the first gig, it didn’t stop the crew from DJing in their hotel room and streaming it live to the world. It turns out that the tour will actually feature livestreaming content for each date on the tour – from behind the scenes discussions to streaming sets in the club. Read on for details on where and when to tune in!

CNTRL TV INTERVIEWS AND PERFORMANCES

The CNTRL tour – which features Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, and Ean Golden – is made up of daytime lectures and evening performances at each city the tour stops in. In an official announcement from the crew behind the tour today, there’s a new third element being added to the tour – a daily livestream show:

“CNTRL TV – DAILY BRIEFING where Hawtin, Dice, and Golden present live from the bus and other locations (…) Guests from the tour will drop in at random moments and the show will discuss the tour plus the hot topics of the day in world electronic music.”

The tour seems to fundamentally be trying to break down previously existing barriers – from touring through cities that normally don’t see headliners of this size with any regularity, to the streaming show and sets. Richie elaborated on this very topic a few days ago when chatting with Ean:

“On the CNTRL tour we want to use various ways to connect and engage with the new and old electronic music fans. By streaming we are able to invite those who can’t participate to enjoy the diverse program we have put together.”

CNTRL has also confirmed that the tour will also have a live stream of one of the acts that is showcasing each night of the tour from the evening performance section – including performances by guest performers Carl Craig, Seth Troxler, and Kevin Saunderson. See the full schedule below.

All of the streams will be announced on the CNTRL Facebook page, and viewers will be able to see the streaming shows and performances on Minus’s Livebeats channel.
