Keep Hush Live Berlin: Kikelomo Takeover
A Kikelomo takeover in Berlin guarantees a global, genre-smashing party, and Hanaby's set is a vibrant, cheeky testament to the joy of throwing the rulebook out the window. This is baile funk, global club, and pure pop hedonism smashed together, served with a wink and a irresistible swing. The vibe is colourful, chaotic, and unabashedly fun, a room where cultural references collide and everyone is dancing too hard to care about genre borders. Technically, Hanaby keeps it at a bouncing, body-rolling average of 136 BPM, moving between the sensual 5A key and more exotic flavours like 10B.
The energy is a playful split: 45% low-end provides the booty-shaking bass, 41% mids are packed with vocal hooks and melodic phrases, and a healthy 13% high-end adds the sizzle and shine. The mixing is fast and fun, cutting between acapellas and instrumentals with a party-rocking sensibility that prioritizes momentum over smoothness. The crate digging is pure delight. Opening with Trina and Ludacris's 'B R Right' is a statement of unapologetic club-rap energy.
Dropping Daft Punk's 'One More Time' is the ultimate crowd-unifier, while DJ DN's 'Rave Do It To It' mashes up gabber and funk with ridiculous effectiveness. The inclusion of Bloodhound Gang's 'Uhn Tiss' for nearly 20 minutes is a hilarious, drawn-out exercise in peak-time silliness. Britney's 'Toxic' gets a workout, and Hoodini's 'Fairo Work' provides a slick, contemporary club edit to close. The journey is a non-stop party: from the crunk opener, peaking with the relentless, silly bounce of 'Uhn Tiss,' and winding down with the smooth, edited swagger of 'Fairo Work.'.
