FIRE IN THE BOOTH!
@rubi_du and @israelstarr with amazing selections from @christopheltruento on Friday !
Rubi Du, Israel Start and Christoph El Truento in the booth!
Auckland showed it has what it takes last Friday!
First up was songstress Queen Rubi Du in the booth with multi talented producer and Dj Christoph El Truento deftly switching roots, digi and Rubadub, live mixing out vocals and guest Israel Starr accompanying. The crowd was friendly, the venue dark and welcoming, the pace just right for a long night.
Next up at Cassette Nine , Benny Page kept it positive ๐๐ฝ despite telling me his luggage had been lost on the way to NZ ๐ณ. Delivering his blend of jump up jungle with reggae chops meets quick switching โdrills and hoover massive synth presetsโ, the crowd lapped it up in the bright open venue. The back room was emptier but the Dj was playing some great Liquid dnb on the heavy system in there. Support as ever from the solid * SUNSHINE SOUND SYSTEM * NEW ZEALAND * aka Downtown Brown.
It was time to try and get back up the big hill and go to Denham Audio who produces some great garage 2 step influenced electronic music, sometimes quite tropical, but my kegs had danced the last dance and I headed back to check his latest releases and collaborations on bandcamp.
Donโt call me a quitter! The only thing lacking was a decent night bus service in Auckland - cmon AT - sort it out!! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐คช๐คช
