Neffa-T

Look at the absolute state of these Bristol uni students clad in oversized Carhartt, aggressively gun-fingering the air while pretending they aren't from a massive detached house in Surrey. It is the classic underground bass cosplay, right down to the cross-body bags and the bloke who will not stop yelling 'wheel it' at a digital CDJ. The intimate, sweat-drenched room is pulsing with red light and the frantic energy of ravers who have had one too many Red Stripes. Delving into the Neffa-T Keep Hush Live Bristol tracklist, this Neffa-T live set is an absolute masterclass in technical mixing.

Running at a blistering 153.8 BPM average, the set stays locked in a tight 154 BPM pocket, largely pivoting around the 12A key. Neffa-T’s three-deck wizardry and rapid-fire chops make this Techno and bass hybrid an unrelenting assault. The crate-digging here is proper elite, seamlessly bridging eras. Dropping Underworld's 'Pearls Girl' is a massive nod to the old heads, while 'Mea Inferno - Opulent Rave' provides that skull-rattling modern weight.

The journey is an absolute ride, kicking off with the opening track 'Unknown - Unknown' to establish dominance right out the gate. He maintains a furious peak throughout before abruptly bringing everyone back down to earth with the closing track, the totally unexpected 'The Road to Success' by Tele Music. Proper sorted.
