Gold Coast | Taste Club Takeover
Romiindahouse’s Taste Club Takeover at Gold Coast is a shapeshifting set that defies easy genre categorization—the database says hip-hop, but we know better. At 143.1 BPM average, mostly in 12A, this is a high-energy blend of trap, dubstep, grime, and house, held together by a low-end that sits at 68%. The mixing is loose but intentional, with long transitions that allow tracks to morph into each other.
Key Glock’s ‘Since 6ix’ opens with a Memphis trap swagger, but the set quickly veers into Benga & Coki’s ‘Night’, a dubstep classic that drops the floor into half-time. The peak comes with RAPRAVE & Fullbodydurag’s ‘BUSS IT’, a high-BPM hybrid of Jersey club and footwork that feels like a system overload. Toma Kami’s ‘Blades’ is a percussion-heavy techno detour, while Yaeji’s ‘booboo’ brings a woozy house groove that lets the crowd breathe.
The highlight is Trim’s ‘BOAT’, a 32-minute grime epic that Romiindahouse lets ride for what feels like an eternity—it’s a bold move, but it works, creating a hypnotic state. The closing track, Benga & Coki’s ‘Night’ again? No, it’s listed as closer—actually the set ends with the same dubstep anthem, bookending the journey. It’s a set that doesn’t care about cohesion; it cares about energy, and at 143 BPM, it delivers.
