EZ Riser
Pune | Maushi Day Festival
There comes a point in every festival where the BPMs escalate and the only sane response is to commit fully to the breakbeat chaos. EZ Riser's set at Pune's Maushi Day Festival is that point of no return, a thrilling sprint through jungle, breakbeat hardcore, and bassline. The vibe is pure, unadulterated energy, a crowd surrendering to the Amen break. Technically, this is a high-octane ride, averaging a fierce 158.7 BPM and frequently leveraging the intense, driving key of 12A.
The energy is powerfully focused in the low end at 0.711, providing a relentless foundation for the frantic mid-range breaks and searing high-end rave stabs. The mixing is fast and fearless, often using double-drops and quick cuts to maintain a breathless intensity, building an arc that feels like one long, exhilarating climax with carefully managed plateaus. It's a physical set, designed to move bodies at speed. The tracklist is a riot: Klaudia Gawlas's 'Dark Space' opens with menacing techno tension before the switch-up.
Busted's 'Tricky Tricky' in a club mix is the kind of hilarious, genius flip we live for, and Nia Archives's 'Sunrise Bang Ur Head Against Tha Wall' is a modern jungle anthem. UMA MUSK's 'Baby Boy' brings hyperpop energy, Special Request's 'Pull Up' (Tim Reaper Remix) delivers pure jungle fury, and 4am Kru's 'Horns For 2024' is a current bassline weapon. The journey launches with techno dread, erupts into breakbeat madness, and gently lands in the off-kilter, playful world of Yaeji's 'booboo'.
