woaaaah! early morning crew was massive, upbeats smashed it.
although cant remember the live set at all

bigups bba for another wild night

[bonsai]

massive vibe all night! huge big ups to BBA & Johnny Hooves for the sound & organisation.

imo upbeats live show was pretty average, no real flow throughout the set, and some of the mixdowns were trashy.. I found the female vox to be the most inspiring. she was absolutely unbelievable in some parts of the set, granted, it is quite a task to actually compile a dnb live show, but I believe their studio production and DJ sets are definitely a step above their live act. no disrespect though, appreciated hearing something different, and i'm looking forward to hearing the refined product down the track..

ed rush & optical on the other hand... BADMAN. big big big tunes & and loctite mixing.. sound was excellent & room was surging. loved hearing their new rls' on Nexo.

BUT

WHY SO MANY FUCKING REWINDS ED?

Huge huge gig!! Went along with some friends over from India, a certain bassdrop admin down from Brisbane and some new-to-melbourne mates.. and everyone had a fucken blast!! Upbeats showcased it like no other, Ed Rush and Optical threw down some insane return-to-form dark rolling tunes, and the crowd were vibing.

Massive Respect BBA.

Special mention goes to MC Lowqui, as soon as he jumped on the mic with me and ben the place exploded for the next 6 hours! wicked mc!

BBA

[LowQui]

Another great melbourne DnB party all round!

Finna & Saphire got the beats rolling nicely, Ed Rush & Optical were back on form without a doubt, The Upbeats with the badman KB & the delightful Georgie pushed the boundaries of Live, Hooves got it sounding crystal and the crowd made some real noise! Props to MC Deeziak for getting hyped on the mic later as well.

Big love to everyone who was rocking and having fun on the dancefloor.

peace

PS. great pics Ulyssian

I saw the Upbeats Live in Adelaide on Saturday afternon - that girl has got one amazing voice. It was like she wasnt even trying to sing that awesome and it just came out that way without even trying.

I'm sure it woulda torn the roof off inside at a BBA gig though.
