JFB | MR SWITCH - World DMC Champs in the Lab LDN | Pioneer DJ Takeover
ANGELO's set for the Pioneer DJ Takeover in the Lab LDN, framed by a DMC championship, is a thrillingly chaotic blend of hip-hop, breaks, and bass music that feels like someone flipped through our collective Spotify 'Liked Songs' at random—and somehow it works perfectly. This is for the ADHD generation of dancefloors, where a Super Mario theme can sit next to a Drake verse. The vibe is a turntablist's playground: competitive energy, quick cuts, and a sense that anything could happen next. Technically, it's a genre-hopping odyssey with a 135.5 BPM average, bouncing between keys like 4B, 3B, and 12A to accommodate everything from rap acapellas to dubstep wobbles.
The balanced energy profile between lows and mids (0.43 each) ensures both the beats and the samples hit with clarity. For the diggers, it's a joyful scramble: the video game nostalgia of the 'Super Mario Bros' opener, the viral slickness of bbno$'s 'edamame', the foundational dubstep weight of Benga & Coki's 'Night', and the euphoric house crossover of Fred again.. & Swedish House Mafia's 'Turn On The Lights'. Essential moments include the raw power of Pharoahe Monch's 'Simon Says' and the dancehall swagger of Beenie Man's 'Who Am I'.
The journey is a whirlwind, starting with 8-bit bliss, hitting a peak with the iconic rap bravado of Drake on 'Trophies', and wrapping up with the glitchy, rhythmic funk of Keys N Krates' 'Dum Dee Dum' (Jikay Remix). A tracklist that celebrates the beautiful mess of modern club culture.
