thizz got any more from coachella?
I know some people went to some massives in the last month.... any reviews? I promise to bring many back from Starscape.
My apologies, I forgot to finish my reviews!
The Ianator
9/10
Now, unless you're in on the SoCal party scene, I dont expect you to know The Ianator, and even if you're in on the SoCal party scene, unless you go to any Do Lab events, I dont expect you to know The Ianator either. Ive been going to Coachella for years now, and since The Do Lab always has an installment there, The Ianator is always there. Every year I catch his set, and every year im blown away.
Ian never fails to play the best house tracks, and his mixing is really on point. His music selection is always the old school and underground filter house and house tracks. A fresh set, set aside from all the other new house artists who cant play a decent old school track to save their lives!
Ian always has fun while he's mixing, and never stop smiling, singing, and taking shots of tequila
I also gotta commend the man for only mixing vinyl with no computers to help. Always great mixing as well! The only reason there is a 9 instead of a 10 is for the occasional mix up in beat matching, but its a hard job working with vinyl only and no computers, so I dont blame the man! In his 3 sets over the Coachella weekend this year, I only heard one mess up.
I cant wait to see him again sometime soon!
MiM0SA
8/10
Well, I almost missed this set, and didnt stay for long, but I gotta say, it was probably one of the funnest sets I saw all weekend! MiM0SA didnt show up on time for his 7:30 set, but when he showed up later on, his set was in full force, bumpin like nothing before. The entire crowd was moving, and it was one giant party! The crowd gathered on the stage, and people were having a blast! The music selection was nice. A great mix of his own mashups of glitch and dubstep, and dubstep itself.
Although I dont find myself that much a fan of Dubstep any more, he definitely made me get down with the wobble like it was 2009 again.
Shit, he made me like the dubstep tracks more than Rusko did, and Rusko's the Dubstep star!
I wish i would have stayed for longer, but Thom Yorke and Plastikman were calling.
I cant wait to see him again!!!!
Eskmo
10/10
I dont rate people 10/10 very much, but this man deserves it. Ive listened to Eskmo for a bit now, and loved him straight off the bat. A new, odd sound, that tickles the senses, and lifts the body and soul into a new world. I was elated to say the least to see Eskmo on The Do Lab line up, as now I would finally see the man behind the music, doing his thang.
One thing I loved was that he set up his instuments so that the crowd could see exactly what he was doing. I thought that was very awesome of him to do.
Working with midi controlers, synths, keyboards, and computers, Eskmo put on a show. Song selection and production were great. Much like how Flying Lotus puts on a show by mixing in samples, Eskmo mixed in his samples around his live music production for us all to be amazed by.
With every song, I found myself smiling, dancing, and screaming for more. I think I danced at Eskmo almost as hard as I danced at Bassnectar, and I danced at Bassnectar pretty damn hard.
He really got me when he played
From The Standpoint. That first sample came in, and I lost my shit. Everyone around me knew I was in a state of Nirvana. A sublime state of bliss.
I couldnt wipe the smile from my face, and everyone around me knew it.
Sadly I had to leave early to catch Flying Lotus (which was equally great), but damn, the time I spent seeing Eskmo killed me.
I will lose my shit and have to change pants twice when I see this man perform again.
[Sidenote: He also rocked the house the next day with his alter ego, Welder.]
