SubConcentrate Recordings brought their all last night when BadKlaat came through Los Angeles to some of his signature deep bass and wobbles. True to the fans, there were no bros or raver hoes, only straight-up riddim lovers.
Along with BadKlaat, Shiverz from the Monsters label made his debut west coast appearance and rocked the rafters. Playing a massive set that was even extended an extra 15 minutes, the crowd could not get enough. Characterized by super high energy and crazed movements on stage, Shiverz put on a hell of a performance. Shiverz style, and that of Monsters, is most commonly emulated by producers like those on Firepower Records - Getter, Sub Antix and others.
The one detriment to the night was the organization for the event. It was advertised as free entry before 10 p.m. but the line was intentionally held back and slowed down to let in as few people as possible. After 10, the line crawled, with management stating that they had reached capacity - while simultaneously letting women in for free. By around 12:45, the cops had been called and were apparently handing out citations. (The show was not shut down.)
Aside from the obvious setbacks, the line up was solid and the sound was exceptional. I would go see these guys again in a heartbeat, just maybe not at Beyond The Stars.

UPDATE: SubConcentrate responded to some bad press on the Facebook event page for the show and it turns out that it's mostly due to bad organization from Beyond The Stars along with the city of Glendale police having nothing better to do.

| SubConcentrate: The cops arrived and notified the owner that they didn't have proper licensing to be serving alcohol in a concert setting, they suggested we shut down the show or the bar, after that the owner/security were being uptight but let the show go on. Unfortunately we did not know this until the cops notified us, we thought it was a good idea to let the music continue. We appreciate you making the commute, we did our job, it's unfortunate the venue couldn't do theirs. |
