Behind The Booth: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Gear Talkthrough

Written by Dan White on February 28th, 2013 22 Comments

We got a chance a couple of months back to chat with Orlando of UK-based TEED about his live performance setup, one of the most extensive we’ve seen for a single performer of his caliber. Click through and watch as he shows off all of his gear, shares production advice, and more.

Did our video leave you wanting to hear more Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs tracks? Here’s a few of our personal favorites:

Want to see some of his gear in use? While we couldn’t shoot any on-stage footage in SF, you can get a good sense of his workflow by checking out this video of TEED rocking BBC Radio 1′s Festive Festival:

Shouldn’t it be “We got a chance” not “We got a change”

Brilliant! He really inspired me with what he said about “trusting your own ears”.

Nice little interview of Teed DJTT. Been following him for a while now he is one very talented dude. Nice to find out about how he works live.

I really like what the guy was doing. Too bad for the guy that the people in the room were cold as ice. They were barely moving! And IMHO it was certainly not for the music he was making. Sounded pretty decent to me.

This guy is so cool.
I love it when someone talks and what comes out is truth.

Crap music, but cool gear.

Not a fan of his music, but respect his talent and originality.

So wait, are the chorus/delay and Korg kaoss pad effecting only the output from the focus rite? So in theory the effects on his voice are only the fx from the Yamaha mixer?

I would rather pay see this guy than Swedish House Mafia any day of the week… A friend of mine gave me tix to SHM at Barclay’s center in Brooklyn. They did NOTHING to warrant a stadium show like that. it was like watching a jukebox.

As far as “deep” house goes, this guy seems perfectly decent. Definitely enjoyed this much more than some of the other artists djtt chooses to showcase. I heard that space ballad tune on Azari and iii’s xlr8r mix a little while back and am glad to have found it.
