Remember that time you were sitting around listening to music, and someone put on Orbital’s “Halcyon,” and you were pretty stoked to hear it, because it’s a great track, but you’d never heard the Live at Glastonbury version, so when Belinda Carlyle’s “Heaven is a Place on Earth” got mixed in it totally blew your mind — and just as you were coming to terms with that, “You Give Love a Bad Name” by Bon Jovi got mixed over that and you were absolutely mind-blown and blissed out for days?
A lot of engineering, experience, and specialization went into the design of Orbital’s touring rig, a set up that has created joyous experiences for decades. Here’s a tour of the rig, from DJ Mag:
Made up of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll, Orbital played Inner City Electronic Festival in March, just prior to the UK’s COVID-19 lockdown. We caught up with the seminal UK rave duo to talk through how they play live.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
