Bro Safari / Snails / Space Jesus / Squnto / Boogie T.

Ignatius Feb 23, 2019

Boogie T, the opener, was low key my favorite. Within 5 minutes there was a decent crowd gathered and they were actively headbanging. His drops kept me hooked throughout his set, and you got more personality from him than most DJs today. It was silly but I loved all the narrated soundbites; a bold choice indeed to say "What kind of music do you like? Oh I don't know, everything except COUNTRY!!!" in fucking Dallas, TX, and I love him for it. Then he brought out an electric guitar and played that funk along with the dubs. So good. I want more Boogie T in my life.

Squnto is the self-proclaimed but aptly-named Bass Dragon. His intro was a total mindfuck, I loved the staticky, glitchy, deep bass thing going on with the EPIC monologue. Then in his first song he redid the drop and had the crowd get low for it. Bit of a gimmick, but it seemed to work in asserting his dominance. Unfortunately after that I was standing in a spilled drink and the crowd grew bigger so for most of his set I was just watching light shows. It was a strong bass set, which I'm not always looking for

Space Jesus opened with Dragon Hawks, omg I missed this man. Heavy wubs, space jams, dimensional portals torn asunder. Shout outs to Liquid Stranger, Toadface and Yheti, lots of collaboration happening in the bass scene. For his last song, he knew how much energy Bro Safari was about to bring so he called for a song of meditation; "nobody dance, nobody move" and he played something slower. I like that, its heady af.

Bro Safari came on, by then it was PACKED, I moved behind where all the glovers were, stood at a sparsely-populated section of the rail and got back into the show. A nice, hype set. Idk the differences between genres but it felt like they hit a few different feels throughout the set. Some dubstep, some trap, some drum and bass. I wasn't fully engaged but it was good music

Finally, Snails went and fucked me in the brain matter with four undead alien penises going through my eardrums and eye sockets. Visuals were badass, drops were filthy fresh, the big ass inflatable snail was instantly crowned my new overlord. I hadn't heard of Snails before, but it turns out vomitstep is one of the few true necessities in life.
