After posting some my hopes and expectations for
RYME and
Justin Jay's sets yesterday (
full post here), they proceeded to meet and surpass anything I could have hoped for. In typical
RYME fashion they played so perfectly to the crowd dropping two tributes to Prince, first the original
Green Velvet "
Bigger Than Prince," and the heartrending mashup of "
When Doves Cry" and Metro Area's "
Miura."
The duo also delivered on my desire to hear some
Tiga, with the ridiculously wild
Hey Today! remix of "
You Gonna Want Me."
And yes they did drop some exclusive and unreleased
BADLQQK content, to which they made good on my request for
Slowbody's remix of
KMRT "
Flash Flash." Furthering their streak of bangers, they once again went to
Marc Spence's truly filthy track "
Nasty."
But perhaps the greatest joy I got last night was when
Justin Jay played his Late Nite Dub of "
Karma," to which I felt ridiculously compelled to personally thank him, giving him my phone with the message "
YOU MADE MY NITE." It is that connection between the DJ and the crowd that makes EDM so alluring.
And whether it was with fellow
Dirtybirds
Sacha Robotti's "
Shaky,"
Tim Green's "
Kitch-In" or
Renato Cohen's "
Suddenly Funk," Jay established his groove early starting with his edit of Tag Team's "Whoomp," (which you can find in his "
Fantastic Voyage House Party Mix") and kept us reaching for the sky through his set in absolute ecstasy.
