The movement from classic gems to bass tracks (shoutout to the Saka track he played) to drum-and-bass to… well, a little bit of everything, was just the chef’s kiss touch to the weekend. The most impactful set was none other than Four Tet – though Maya Jane Coles comes in at a close second.įour Tet did that damn thing that he always does so well, bouncing back and forth across genres in a flawless way that left me so floored by the end of it. Though I wasn’t sure what to expect, I was excited to see music that had changed my life over the years on such an impresssive lineup.
