LA-based Corey Baker, aka Kill Paris, makes some of the most beautiful music I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. It's sexy and funky and there's nothing quite like it. I've listened to his debut album 'The Beginning' more times than I care to admit, and his cover of M83's 'Midnight City' is probably one of my favorite tracks ever.
I was fortunate enough to catch him on his 2013 Fall tour coming through L.A. last night at the Avalon.
Others on the line up were Dj Rags, D.O.D., Vaski and Skyler Mendoza.
Kill Paris came on stage at midnight, opening with his unique blend of glitch, funk and hip-hop. His basslines are some of the most unique characteristics to his sound, and on the Avalon's sound system, it sounded so tasty. Playing some classics from 'The Beginning' like Girl, You One of a Kind and a new collab between himself and Sound Remedy, KP kept the crowd moving and grooving until 1:30 when he gracefully bowed out and let Vaski take over the decks.
Vaski is no less unique in the EDM world, using his own brand of high-pitched, highly synthesized wobbles and growls. Often breaking into the realm of electro house, Vaski knows how to keep a room packed even playing well into the morning, finishing his set at just past three a.m. He played some of his own classics as well including the bouncy 'Lost My Mind Electro VIP' as well as his newest remix of Alice DJ's Better Off Alone which got the crowd going crazy.
At the beginning of the night, Dj Rags started off with some moombah, dubstep and house - even threw some French house into the mix - and got the crowd ready for the next one up, D.O.D. Now.... I don't keep it a secret that I hate house, so I'll just say that it wasn't my cup of tea, but everyone else seemed to like it, so there's that.
Next on Kill Paris' fall tour is Celebrities in Vancouver, BC on October 9th. It'd be a real shame to miss it!!
