Four DeBaser takes chart Death in Vegas from bass-heavy Dead Elvis glow to the dense alchemy of The Contino Sessions, with a sharp live snapshot from Milan 2002. Collaborations abound (Iggy Pop to Liam Gallagher) while Scorpio Rising draws fire for fragmentation. Expect trip‑hop pulse, big‑beat swagger, dub smoke, and psychedelic glare—often in the same set.
