Crazy Cousinz Boiler Room x Appelsap Festival 2017 DJ Set
The beautiful chaos of a festival set that refuses to be pigeonholed—this Crazy Cousinz Boiler Room appearance at Appelsap Festival is exactly that, a vibrant, genre-hopping sprint. It begins with Dj Blue's 'Look Like', immediately setting a pace that's both laid-back and bristling with energy. The scene is pure outdoor festival joy: a sea of people bouncing under a bright sky, here for the beats and the sheer, unadulterated fun. Forget the 'Hip-Hop/Rap' label; this is a UK funky, Afroswing, and bass-heavy tour de force.
With a wide BPM range averaging 122, the mixing is rapid-fire and playful, keying mostly around 12A but hopping to 11B and 3B with gleeful abandon. The energy split—60% low, 34% mid, 6% high—allows for weighty subs and punchy drums to underpin catchy vocals and melodies, perfect for a daytime dance. The selections are a blast: DJ Tjaey's 'Look Like You' twists the opener into an Afrobeats trap anthem, while Maxx Volume Selecta's 'Viber Mix' keeps the vibe high. The drop into Migos's 'Bad and Boujee' is a crowd-igniting moment of pure recognition, and Key One's 'My Name' offers a sweeter, melodic counterpoint.
The double dose of A$AP Ferg with 'Work REMIX' and 'Shabba' is a masterstroke of hip-hop curation, guaranteed to turn the place into a mosh pit. The journey is a non-stop party: kicking off with 'Look Like', hitting its peak with the hip-hop anthems, and closing on a high with Still Life Nightclub's 'Summer Sessions (Fresh)', a track that feels like the perfect, sun-drenched send-off.
