12 years ago, a friend of mine took me to my first DnB event. Its was at Konkrete Jungle NYC, and i believe i saw Aphrodite. If not at that first night, i know i saw him perform at KJ sometime that year, as i fell in love with DnB and was at KJ a few times. Due to school, then more school, then work, and KJ being on Monday nights, I actually have not been back to KJ since those early days. That means I've also never had the opportunity to Dj there. Which makes this night a big deal for me. My KJ debut was something I've been thinking about for years.
Unfortunately there was a problem with the speakers and the mixer this night. Everything was crunchy and distorted, and the bass and main speakers kept blowing out every 10 minutes or so. Few people told me it was the worst sound they have ever heard at KJ. Just my luck. Even when the sound was fine, it was way to loud. I Dj'd after Dara and Empress, so it was a big night in terms of DnB in NYC, but the sound hurt the crowd. Still lots of people dancing, good vibes for sure. I played from 2-3 and dropped some harder will miles tunes, as well as the usual stuff i play. As usual, when i played a Kjell tune, someone runs up and asks who wrote it. People go crazy when i drop Kjell tunes, he is such a prolific producer.
The microphone did not work either, which means no vocal contribution from Diggaddee or Human who were both on the mic. Still fun, wish the sound was on point, hope to play KJ again for sure.
