Wow…Once again, just like every time I play camo, the crowd is totally receptive to ANYTHING I play… Well, let me clarify, I play quality music, and they love it haha… but you know what I mean, I don’t have to play one subgenre in particular (hard, dark, liquid, etc)…
I started with a bunch of melodic fun dancefloor tunes (mainly by sinistarr, mmdoc, spectrasoul, random movement, spy, high contrast, etc…), then feeling the crowd, I went deeeeper and got into a bunch of SMALL halftime stuff (tricky pat, icicle, sinistarr/mmdoc, etc), to my surprise, the crowd went nuts! I played Tricky Pat’s Temper D remix (of something, sorry forget the name), which is a really fun small tune that goes dubstep in the middle, its really small and I honestly diden’t think I would work live, but it went over huge, and before that I played Instru:mental – No Future, and they went nuts!
I slowly moved into some 4/4 stuff and dubstep, then back into DnB for the last hour of my set. I got to play for about 2 hours in total, and the crowd was with me for the majority of it. At about 3:30 when I heard last call I moved into some pop just for the hell of it, place went crazy when I played MGMG’s Kid’s and Skream’s La Roux RMX… Seeing that there were a few non DnB heads in the crowd I reached for my Calculon bootlegs (Such Great Heights and that MIA tune) that they went over HUUUUUUGE. I also played a bunch of classic (HC - Music is everything, Solid State (Marcus rmx) which the crowd knew and enjoyed. They also loved Dave Owen - Sucker Love, really went nuts over that one as well as my collab with Dave Owen got a huge reception.
Just such a pleasure to play to a crowd that stays with you the whole time. Anyone who has seem me live or heard any of my mixes, knows I play at least 30 tunes an hour most of the time, so my sets tend to move and progress a lot, but I never thought I could play Instru:mental and other really small tunes and still have them go over huge… I feel really good about DnB right now and I plan on incorporating more small minimal halftime stuff in between the bigger dancefloor tunes.
Big up Christian Bruna and the whole Tuesday night Camouflage Crew! Such a great party!
Last time i played Philly was 2005. Super excited to get back to the area. This time i got to see alot of Philly, ate a Cheese Steak at Pat's King of Steaks, overall really enjoyed my short visit. I took the Chinatown bus to Philly, an easy 2 hour drive. Only a few people on the bus, didn't hit any traffic, was a nice drive.
