Keep Hush Live Bristol: Booty Bass Takeover
Bristol's Booty Bass Takeover is exactly where you'd expect to find genre rules being gleefully shattered, and Devolicious's set is a globe-trotting, BPM-hopping riot. The vibe is a carnival of low-end theory, a Keep Hush Live session where baile funk, drum & bass, and house collide with infectious chaos. This is a bass house and global bass expedition with a wildly variable BPM average of 132.3, cleverly held together by the recurring 5A Camelot key for moments of harmonic respite.
The energy is predictably low-dominant at 60%, but the mids at 33% ensure all the vocal hooks and rhythmic intricacies cut through the rumble. Devolicious's mixing is agile and playful, executing daring leaps from drum & bass to moombahton without losing the crowd, a testament to a selector with a comedian's timing. The crate digs are a global feast: Double B X's 'PURE CARNAGE vol 1' opens with brutalist intensity, while Netsky & Rudimental's 'Blend' offers a liquid D&B interlude.
Paperclip People's 'Throw (Slam's RTM Remix)' is a timeless house weapon, and Tokischa & Treintisiete's 'Sistema De Patio' brings raw Dominican dembow to the party. It starts with the noise assault of 'PURE CARNAGE', peaks somewhere in the genre-hopping madness between 'Throw' and 'Back It Up, Drop It', and closes on the tropical bounce of Major Lazer's 'Wet It Up'.
