Complete line-up: El-B, Mala, Bojcot & FKA
Hosted by Planet KL / Visuals by Malu:sin
Both Nika and me arrived a bit late due to the heavy snowfall in our country and the line at the entrance. Fortunately, we came in just in time for El-B's set, only having missed the openingsets of Utrecht resident dj's Bojcot and FKA. Pity we missed their warm-up but excited to hear from El-B, because personally I like the old school 2step and garage vibe a lot. I heard a lot of awesome tunes, but after his set I had some mixed feelings about it. His tune selection was a bit off, mixing the old dubstep with some fine 2step sounds but also with some 'let's throw a moshpit'-wobbles. I was not completely satisfied but that changed when Mala did his thing. Slowly building up his set, every steppah trying to anticipate how much deeper and further these riddims could take us, crescending to screams and a big applause of the audience. On the Dutch forum it was referred to as a 'collective eargasm'.
Fuel for the mind, taking us to a state of deeper consciousness. The grin upon my face widened when even the venue decided to stay open for nearly an extra hour so Mala could continue with still a small crowd left. Magic.
One more song.. please?
