Finn
Keep Hush Live: Local Action
For the Local Action showcase, Finn delivers a set steeped in the warm, swung traditions of UK garage, a sound built on soulful vocals, skipping rhythms, and a bassline that feels like a heartbeat. This is the sound of a late-night session where the lights are low, the mood is intimate, and every track feels like a rediscovered treasure from a golden era. Averaging 132.5 BPM, the set is harmonically rich, moving from the moody minor of 3B to the brighter tones of 5A and 12A. The energy is more balanced than pure bass genres, with 57% low, 25% mid, and a significant 18% high, allowing melodies and vocal hooks to shine.
Finn's mixing is smooth and musical, using long, harmonic blends that let chords and basslines weave together, creating a continuous, flowing narrative, and the BPM range of 128-136 ensures a consistent, groovy foundation that never feels rushed. 'Cloud 69 - Sixty Nine Ways' opens with a classic, atmospheric garage vibe. Tocadisco's rat's ass mix of ATB's 'Let U Go' is a hilarious and effective trance-garage hybrid. Klubb Kidz's 'Don't Wanna Hurt You' dub is a deep, swinging weapon, and Claudio Topputo & Fabrizio Maselli's 'My Hands' (Santi Fernandez mix) offers a dose of driving, vocal-led house.
Closing with Stacy Kidd's 'Music For You' is a perfect, soulful send-off. From the deep intro of 'Sixty Nine Ways', through the melodic peaks of the ATB remix and Klubb Kidz dub, to the heartfelt finale of 'Music For You', Finn crafts a journey that's both nostalgic and freshly vibrant.
