The Black Tiger Sex Machine Ceremony tour hit Los Angeles on September 28th at The Belasco Theater. It was a rough night of aggressive crowds and aggressive music. I arrived close to the end of Apashe's set to catch Substronics' set. Jesse from Subtronics drops the heaviest double drops I have heard. They're really amazing! He has taken the pedestal so to speak and became my favorite Dubstep music producer. Svdden Death and Excision are close seconds. Each producer has his sonic signature, and these are the ones I resonate with the most.
The event was pretty intense. From the moment I started dancing I felt myself breaking into a sweat. I got pushed around and didn't have a set location in the crowd, instead was pushed like a volleyball through the crowd. During the Subtronics set a huge mosh pit erupted around me and I had to run to avoid getting hit. It's pretty brutal when you are on your own, it seems the safest way to go is with a squad. That way everyone can look out for one another. I didn't have that luxury, though.
I got to enjoy all the double drops I went to hear. It was worth all the trouble just to see another Subtronics set. It felt like it went by really quickly, and what came after was a huge treat. I had not heard much of BTSM's music prior to coming to the show, but their set was extremely enjoyable. They said they were taking us to church. Their visuals were really attractive, featuring their big cat masks, reversed crosses and imagery evocative of rave spirituality. It was very entertaining.
My love for aggressive music goes deep. It gets me through it all. What more could I ask for?
