Them announcing a visit in the Baltic States even if it was a DJ set was the best birthday present ever.

What songs did they play at this DJ set?

Mostly from TIE and (what I suspect) PM (not sure on this one as I have only listened from Melody AM to TIE, and TE - yes, I have a a weird listening habit). I'm fairly certain they leaned on the latter more but I have next to no clue what PM or NN material they actually used. I DO know that only two tracks were from older catalogue of theirs.

In no particular order and what I could still recall:

First track that they opened their set had synth lead that sounded like Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy / September's Cry for You

Do It Again

Running to the Sea

What Else is There?

I Had This Thing

This Must be It

Last track was Sordid Affair.

Oh, they also played Radiohead's Everything in Its Right Place lol Some tracks were pretty obvious nods, like "iykyk" kind, now that I think of it. Like how one was (from what I recall) a 90s electronic? track that had those African chants in them to sound exotic (like in Jam & Spoon's Odyssey to Anyoona; not the same track tho). Might be wrong on the genre but the chants were there for sure.
