Rhino WAX
N-TYPE 21.10.09
On a windy, wintery Wednesday Wax’s latest weekly refuge for the bass-hungry certainly satisfied.
It feels like one of those parties that start off mellow, a few people, some candles, nice minimal, laid back tunes. People on bean bags in the middle of the dance floor.
Ravers trickle though the door and soon the room becomes unrecognisable from twenty minutes earlier, bear cans replace bean bags and the glowing candles become glow sticks (Which they gave out free on the door! Bless ‘em).
As the party progresses, so does the music; in an ever-changing flow of musical genres from deep chill out, into even deeper house into 2step and the beginnings of dubstep. DJ TTB, showing his superior knowledge in music, mixes through a time-line, like the evolution of tunes, bringing the crowd into the here and now of dubstep. He finishes his set with some of the dirtiest dub-plates around.
Who ever said Dubstep wasn’t ‘dance music’ should get themselves down to Rhino. At the arrival of N-Type the dance floor (which was already reaching its capacity) begins to fill with hundreds of bobbing bodies, as they succumb to the ominous sub.
N-Type’s set starts dark and dirty, long bone rattling bass lines keep the entire room bubbling. With the flick of a cross-fader N-Type plummeted the crowd into an unexpected drop.
WAX went wild, N-Type switching effortlessly from elongated grimey bass lines to old skool jungle, full of kicks and snares, to the bouncy, more melodic side of dubstep. He, having just as much fun as the crowd, is on their level. You know you’re at a special night when the DJ is having as much fun as you. N-Type grabs the mic “I wanna see you brock out.”
The ‘one last tune’ turns into ‘two last tunes’ and as N-Type signals to MC Visionobi that he’s going to play he’s now third ‘last tune’ it’s clear he doesn’t want he’s set to end.
