Jeff Mills and Sun Ra Arkestra

The audience is extremely excited for Jeff Mills to take to the stage. This DJ has gained quite a CV over the years that he has been in the music scene, with over twenty-five albums to his stage name “The Wizard”. It’s quite a spectacle to see this man perform live, and this congregation this evening is completely aware. What he can do with three decks and a drum machine is pretty spectacular.
Walking out to the helm of his setup, he receives a huge amount of applause, bringing the house down as he launches into a slew of the best work from his latest album “The Chronicles of Possible Words”, a highly anticipated album of 2013. The atmosphere is seriously wild with not one person not dancing. “Solar System Context” has some very catchy moments, with large hooks that reel the listeners in, and then release them with the largest drop imaginable. The drops of this set have recurring theme with their minimalistic charm. It sounds as though there is a bass drum playing four to the floor with what sounds like a cowbell playing an “off beat cuban rhythm”, whatever it is, it’s working!

Amazing!

Although, it was a sit down concert, and they were so good, all I wanted to do was dance!

Which I did do, unfortunately I got told to calm down : )

Sun Ra Arkestra were everything I expected and more. Great musicians.
