SAM DIVINE rolling house set in The Lab
at V Festival
It's V Festival, which means the tent is absolutely packed with geezers in bucket hats who've lost their mates and girls with glitter aggressively applied to their cheekbones. The cider is warm, the mud is deep, and everyone is having the time of their lives. The tunes are ice cold in this SAM DIVINE The Lab at V Festival tracklist. It's a sweaty, chaotic festival tent where the bass rattles the canvas and the crowd is completely up for it, rain or shine.
Categorised weirdly as Rominimal, this SAM DIVINE live set is actually a masterclass in Defected-style vocal house and rolling tech. Sitting at an energetic 125.9 BPM average, she bounces through 12A and 8B keys to keep the euphoria levels high. The mixing is punchy and big-room ready, built for festival hands-in-the-air moments. She brings absolute festival artillery.
Throwing down ATB's "Your Love (9PM)" is guaranteed chaos, but dropping Dead Prez's "Hip-Hop" instrumental into a house set? That's proper naughty. And of course, Faithless' "Insomnia" is mandatory festival law. She sets the tone immediately with the legendary opening track, Alison Limerick's "Where Love Lives". The energy hits fever pitch when OFFAIAH's "Trouble" drops, before she leaves the crowd beaming with Folamour's feel-good closing track, "Ça Va Aller".
