Sally C
Boiler Room x AVA Festival 2019
AVA Festival 2019, and Sally C takes the Boiler Room stage with the confidence of someone who knows exactly how to work a crowd. We're here for the tech-house bangers, and she delivers with a set that's both smart and sweaty. Belfast is bouncing, the sun is out, and the bass is in. Averaging 133.8 BPM and locked in 12A, this is high-energy tech house.
The low-end dominates at 0.82, providing a relentless groove, while mid and high are used sparingly for accents. Mixing is tight and energetic, with quick cuts and buildups that keep the pace frantic. Harmonic shifts between 12A, 3B, and 7A add subtle color without disrupting the flow. The energy arc is a steady climb, using percussive elements to maintain momentum throughout.
Highlights include the opening 'Miguel Bastida - XAXAXA', a percussive monster, and 'Fragma - Toca's Miracle' for a nostalgic vocal drop. 'Eli Brown - Diamonds On My Mind' brings a modern, bass-heavy punch, and 'Cosmic Heaven - Still Waiting' closes with a melodic sigh. 'DJ Slugo - A Blunt' offers a raw, Chicago house vibe, and 'Angel Stoxx - Breadholes (Stefano Kosa Remix)' adds a funky twist. Starting with 'XAXAXA', peaking with the crowd-pleasing 'Toca's Miracle', and ending on 'Still Waiting', Sally C's tracklist is a masterclass in festival tech house.
