Interplanetary Criminal DJs UKG, Speed Garage & Bootlegs on Keep Hush Live: Breaka Presents
Step inside Keep Hush Live, where the speed-garage purists and tracksuit warriors look like they’ve just stepped directly out of a 1999 time machine. This is the natural habitat of the geezer who will definitely try to explain the history of the amen break to you in the smoking area. It’s pure, unadulterated underground chaos, complete with gun-fingers and constant screams for a reload. The vibe is a gritty, low-ceiling sweatbox that feels absolutely electric.
Technically, this Interplanetary Criminal live set is a bouncy, frantic 142.0 BPM. The mixing bridges the gap between UKG and Techno, jumping aggressively around the 12A and 7A Camelot keys to keep the crowd completely on their toes. The transitions are razor-sharp, fast, and designed to maximize the impact of every heavy sub-bass drop. The crate digging is proper naughty, packed with lethal bootlegs and obscure white labels.
Mangling Gigi D'Agostino's "Bla Bla Bla" into a dark garage set alongside Ruff Kru is an absolute stroke of genius. The Interplanetary Criminal DJs UKG, Speed Garage & Bootlegs tracklist is a short but devastating ride. It kicks off with a mysterious opening track, hits a massive 9-minute peak with "T.H.C", and bows out with the closing track, London Fiesta's "La La".
