The set was a masterclass in dynamic shifts, moving from pulsating drum & bass, which one attendee declared 'so last year's dub,' to more introspective, lyrical passages. Anthems like 'Worship the DJ shaking the floor' had the entire field moving as one, while tracks featuring raw, honest lyrics such as 'I only smoke weed when I need to and I need to get some rest' resonated with a deeper, more personal connection.
