'A lot more subdued than previous performances'

Closing the final night of the UK's notorious dance festival, the drum n bass pairing certainly aren't chasing their fans
away.
The hoards pile in their thousands to see those responsible for hits such as 'Blind Faith' and 'Time' underneath
the clear moonlit sky. Flying 'No Problems' into the sky through intense beats and a deep sub bass sound sends a subliminal
message to those who need the encouragement to not give a shit.
Getting back to the their multicultural background
with 'Eastern Jam' not only entertains the true fans but engages new listeners into the older sound of the drum n bass scene.
It seems a lot more subdued than their previous performances at last year's Global Gathering and Download, something
that could be down to the poor sound quality from what looks to be an impressive main stage set up.
'Pieces' picks
up an already broken crowd from a disappointingly average set with classic gritty synth leads and stupidly lengthy breakdowns.
The crowd have let go, and so have the group. Although still a good performance, it is below average in comparison
to their other festival appearances. What a shame.
