Live Transmissions 02

76 minutes of music showcasing System 7’s unique and powerful live techno sound. In the context of techno music, this is about as live as it gets!

Through their frequent live shows, System 7’s Steve Hillage (guitar) and Miquette Giraudy (keyboards) have forged their unique sonic identity. Tech house, techno, and trance meet in their music, using a sophisticated blend of programmed beats, live keyboards, and live psychedelic guitar to send audiences into dance delirium - as freshly captured on Live Transmissions 02.

Live Transmissions 02 is the second System 7 live album release. It was recorded at the Duo Music Exchange venue in Tokyo on May 10th, 2024. The set starts more downtempo, builds to a powerful climax, and then takes people over the edge with thunderous psychedelic techno.

Apart from the iconic "Alpha Wave," all the tracks on Live Transmissions 2 are more recent creations than those on the first Live Transmissions album. They include tunes from the albums Café Seven, X-Port, N-Port, and Up, and from 2008’s Phoenix. The album also features live renditions of collaborations with Jam El Mar and Japanese psy-trance duo Indigo.
