This is another live recording in the files sent to us related to Spencer Kincy, aka Gemini. Unlike the previous mix (Live @ Deep in the Flowers), there was no discernible information available with this file - just a large MP3 with a continuous mix clocking in at nearly four hours.
A little bit of research led me to believe that this was recorded at Staple, a long-running House Music residency in San Francisco, sometime in May 2000. This would coincide with roughly the same period when friends remember Spencer Kincy had moved out to the Bay Area for what would wind up being a temporary stay.
Further information was supplied by New York-based DJ and producer Ulysses (check out his site, scatalogics.com). In an email, he confirmed that he played that night on the same bill with Spencer. After giving this mix a listen, he was even able to identify, roughly, when each set began: Staple promoter and DJ Fil LaTorre plays roughly up until the 28 minute mark, then Ulysses up to the two hour mark, with Spencer taking it the rest of the way home. I'm indebted to Ulysses for his help and his remarkable memory of events that took place nine years ago (and I would be remiss to add that he doesn't think this is one of his best mixes. I think he's being a little unfair with that assessment, but what DJ isn't a perfectionist? Nevertheless, he graciously gave us his blessing to post this in the interest of our story. Attempts to contact Fil LaTorre were not successful.)
Incidentally, Dave Gandy tells us that Spencer will be 40 on June 6, 2009 (so yes, under the Zodiac, he really was a Gemini). Still no word from the man himself.
As super long tracks tend to get wonky when embedded, we've broken this track down based upon Ulysses' recollection of when each DJ was spinning. Only Spencer's set - roughly 1:45 of music - is embedded below. To maintain the integrity of the original recording, however, the original 3:45 complete file is also available for download below. Warning - the complete file is more than 250 megabytes and nearly four hours long.
For the complete file with sets by all 3 DJs that played that night, the setlist based on Ulysses' recollection looks roughly like this:
Fil LaTorre: 00:00:00 to 00:28:00
Ulysses: 00:28:01 to 02:00:00
Spencer Kincy: 02:00:01 to 03:45:30
