Okay, I'm safely home. Wait for it....

HOLY CRAP!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

I honestly don't know how to describe what I saw tonight. I can certainly say I've never heard music like it or seen DJs like Krush. That has got to be one of the best gigs I have ever seen. It's gonna take a hell of a lot to impress me now.

If love was a DJ.........

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 12:11 pm

Put my thoughts on paper last night, very over the top and flowery, but thought I'd share it with you....

In the words of Red from Shawshank Redemption, hope is a dangerous thing. I had spent a jittery first week back at work hoping to end it with an aural enema courtesy of the floating soundscapes and technical wizadry of DJ Krush at Prince of Wales.

Anticipation peaked as I waited for my crew to arrive, the kind of anticipation you feel when on the verge of being a part of something that will be talked about in hushed tones of reverance amongst the chosen few.

Getting to the Prince in time to catch the end of Music vs Physics and the practised precision of DJ Ransom, the Prince bandroom filled to capacity as eager punters swarmed the floor in wide-eyed readiness for the musical mayhem that was soon to be unleashed.

I eased my way through the crowd as Krush made his way to the decks to the rabid applause from his hungry acolytes. Krush eased into his sonic sermon with some trademark jittery drum patterns and textured rhythms, and by the time the first refrains of "Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt" by DJ Shadow oozed through the speakers, the tension and energy in the air was truly palpable.

Krush continued to build his masterpiece as the bassline slithered into darker and nastier configurations, whilst simultaneously the melodies and refrains rose to complex and subtle heights. It was the aural equivalent of going twelve rounds with Mike Tyson, only to find Angelina Jolie in your corner at the end of each round with a knowing smile and soothing words to ease your pain.

Krush worked his rig with the sheer precision and confident assurance of a micro surgeon, yet still managing to maintain that subtle air of experimentation and spontaneity that inspired moments of awe and inspiration.

It was all but impossible not to be drawn toward the front of the stage, as my fellow punters and I were inexorably tugged by the electronic voodoo concocted by Krush. As the set drew to a close, Krush upped the ante with some amazingly dexterous scratching and beat juggling as he utilised both his sampler and effects to draw to a triumphant close his bone jarringly beautiful hip hopera.

The night finished in a haze of goodbyes as hundreds of smiling faces were seen descending the stairs of the Prince, comments of awe and amazement echoing off the walls.

Fucking hell. Best review EVER.

Can you write my bio?

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 12:43 pm

Of course man, would love to!

Would be nice to appease my frustrated journo ambitions...

Post by **lynt** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 12:47 pm

It's on. Just centre it around breakbeat, you'll be right

Dope night.

Krush truly is a masterful DJ.

Not only that, but a wonderful musician and experimentalist.

I was super tired and had a throbbing headache (which I've still got now...), but I was still able to appreciate the skills of this brilliant aural sculptor.

Second time I've seen the man, and was not disappointed, although some of the wonder and awe had dissipated and been replaced with expectation. This is to be expected though.

All in all, I would be more than happy to see the man again next time he's in town

Post by **system** » Sun Feb 06, 2005 8:23 pm

damn. damn. damn.

Krush is GOD.

Takes me bout 15 mins to get ready but I live in Belgrave, end of the trainline, and ~1 hour to the city by train, then a tram to St Kilda coz I'm too responsible to drink and drive

but OMG was a wikkid night it was well worth the travel! Music Vs Physics were maaad, then there was Krush... simply one THE BEST gigs I have been to ever!

There was a dude standing near me with his MD and a condensor mike recording Krush's set. I would give the soul of my firstborn child for a copy...

SoulWhiteMan · Post by **SoulWhiteMan** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 8:57 pm

I passed on Krush but ended up getting laid....
did I make the right decision?

not that useful,mate i was standing right there too.

I used to take exactly the same setup and the result was dubious at best.

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 11:51 am

Theres about a 40min set from this guy who did the same thing with an MD or Dictaphone at a KRS ONE gig in the US somewhere, its not great quality but u sure can hear everything and the beats, just sounds a bit tinny. I think its also on the first track of KRS's I GOT NEXT album...Krs tells everyone at the start if they have a tape recorder to turn it on...boh!

steiner · Post by **steiner** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 2:09 pm

if i am thinking of the same guy. asian guy, right at the front of the stage - right near krush?

Schizo! · Post by **Schizo!** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 3:47 pm

"Everybody in here, right now, with tape decks turn em on, and put em on record. I'll give you a second."

KRS One is my all time favourite Hip Hop artist

Please do me this favour then... go outside your house, find your gas main. Turn it off..... let the pressure build up, and don't turn it on again FOR SEVEN MONTHS..... then, turn it back on

Post by **breaksRbest** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 10:51 am

SWM, when you said you missed Krush to get laid I didn't realise she was your girlfriend. she made you miss Krush just for a shag you coulda had the next day??

DUMP HER NOW.
