J Rust DJ set // Keep Hush live w/ Darker Than Wax
Look at this lot, absolutely drowning in oversized vintage Carhartt and pretending they haven't spent three hours rehearsing their candid rave faces for TikTok. The Hip-Hop/Rap heads at the back are nodding with furious sincerity, desperately trying to prove they aren't just techno tourists who got lost looking for the VIP toilets. But despite the absolute scenes in the crowd, the vibe inside [venue] is proper sorted, all strobes cutting through thick, sweaty haze. Breaking down this [DJ] [venue] tracklist is a mad task for the trainspotters.
The [DJ] live set kicks off smoothly and rides a rollercoaster BPM range of 100-174, averaging a very bouncy 125.5 BPM. It is a masterclass in tension and release, heavily anchored in 7A and 3B Camelot keys that keep the energy simmering perfectly without tipping into pure chaos. Any crate digger worth their salt will respect this track selection. Dropping "She Needs Me (Remix) [feat.
DOM KENNEDY & Murs]" by Kendrick Lamar is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, while sneaking in "Blow Your Mind" by Jamiroquai is a cheeky, left-field stroke of genius. The journey is an absolute belter from start to finish. The opening track, "Settle for My Love" by Patrice Rushen, sets a lush, soulful tone before we plunge into the madness. "Bist du down?" by Ace Tee hits right at the peak, leaving everyone buzzing before the closing track, "Blah Blah Shake" by The Golden Boy, wraps the whole affair up perfectly.
