We arrived in minneapolis early and got some well needed rest before the show. When we arrived to the venue, we were greeted by one of the most beastly sound systems I've ever seen indoors. After being thoroughly intimidated, we went back to our hotel to get ready and chill for a few hours.
A few hours came and went, and I walked from my hotel down to the venue. It was early, and the line was around the block. After getting settled and having a beer, it was time to do do our thing, and nervously I made my way to the dj booth. I've played on some pretty big sound systems before, but this one took the cake. Slowly, people trickled in from all over the midwest and filled the room, and before I knew it, the hour was over and that was that. I didn't expect as much crowd response as we got, and all night I was getting sporadic high fives from strangers and girls grabbing my hair and pointing at my skin like I was some kind of blonde toddler in a japanese fishing village. It was strange.
Minnesota himself graced the decks and ripped the place apart. This man is easily my favorite stateside dubstep producer and he pretty much burned the motherfucker down last night. That guy is gonna do big things!
Up next, my good friend Carl "moon juice" warner was asked to open for the one and only Tipper. Nervously he warmed up a room full of a thousand people to some epic sing along jams and set the tone for the don himself.
Tipper hit the sound system with a motherfucking fury that words cannot explain. Ive seen Tipper and heard many live sets but none like this. At this point in the night I had the most god awful headache and I didn't even care, I sat right in front of the subs and had my chest cavity rattled by the most alien bass sounds this side of Orion's belt. Epic. I've never heard bass like that before. If you looked at the crowd all you could see was a sea of wholesome midwestern folk absolutely losing their shit. What a time!
All in all, minneapolis was a huge success, and I wish more parties were like this. Minnesota goes hard, holy shit.
