Keep Hush x Two Tribes Takeover
Big up the aggressive head-nodders in the front row wearing vintage Coki tees, treating every sub-bass frequency like a religious sermon. They’ve come to this festival purely to complain that dubstep was better in 2007, while simultaneously losing their absolute minds at every drop. A pitch-black room illuminated only by the frantic green glow of the CDJs and the occasional lighter flickering in the crowd. Locked rigidly at 139.5 BPM, this Dubstep live set tracklist is a purist’s dream. The DJ utilizes 12A and 3B keys to craft a deeply melodic yet menacing atmosphere.
The mixing is a masterclass in tension and release, boasting incredibly high low-end energy that physically vibrates your ribcage. This is proper 140 digging. Dropping 'Rareman - Skillz' is an absolute flex for the deep heads. The inclusion of 'Pangaea - Router' brings a wonky, techno-adjacent swing to the half-step rhythm, while 'Mystic State - Particles (feat. D-Los)' adds a layer of beautiful, rolling dread.
Emerging from the depths with an 'Unknown - Unknown' opening track, the set builds a wall of sub-bass pressure. The middle is a swamp of wobbly, minimal 140 cuts, before ending on an absolutely cinematic, ridiculous high with the closing track, 'Eric Prydz Vs. Hans Zimmer - Opus Interstellar (Angemi Remix)'.
