MIA B2B TASHASAN | NESC X Revision Takeover
Keep Hush Live x Carhartt WIP Singapore
The true test of a DJ isn't playing to a purist crowd, but making a room full of disparate souls lose it to 'The Bells' followed by 'Do You Really Like It?'. MIA and TASHASAN's b2b for Keep Hush x Carhartt WIP in Singapore is a riotous celebration of dance music's entire ridiculous, wonderful spectrum. The vibe is explosive, cheeky, and relentlessly fun, a masterclass in crowd-reading with zero pretension. Technically, they operate in a hard-hitting 142 BPM zone, using the dominant, driving key of 12A to glue together trance, hardcore, and UK garage.
The energy is powerfully focused in the low-end (0.59), providing a punchy foundation for the mid-range melodic fireworks (0.34) to soar over. Their back-to-back style is dynamic, trading off between euphoric builds and sudden, cheeky drops that keep everyone on their toes. The tracklist is a glorious junk-drawer of anthems. Starting with Numa Crew's ragga-techno hybrid 'Babylon' sets a fierce, multicultural tone.
From there, we rocket through Sash!'s 'Mysterious Times', the hardcore rush of Ruff Driverz's 'Dreaming', and the techno purism of Jeff Mills's 'The Bells'. The inclusion of Zombie Nation's 'Kernkraft 400' is a knowingly brutal crowd-pleaser, while Delerium's 'Silence' in Tiësto's classic remix offers a moment of hands-in-the-air trance catharsis. The peak is the extended, soulful workout of USHER's 'There Goes My Baby', and they close on the ultimate garage throwback: DJ Pied Piper's 'Do You Really Like It?'. The journey is a whirlwind tour of rave history, opening with dubwise pressure, peaking with trance emotion, and ending on a 2-step bounce.
