Cody LeKush and I have been involved in a couple of jams together, however, really there are 2 that have really stood out. The first, Voyeur, happened towards the end of the summer and featured a live vocal performance that had all members of Azari and III on the mic with Starving Yet Full. The biggest moment of the night came as everyone felt Cedric’s voice drop in for Gasaida. The second, Bass of Hearts, took place on Valentines Day.
Bass of Hearts was a resounding success, despite my bias. Bass music ranging from live Drum and Bass act LRG, to Zeds Dead’s unreleased and exclusive laden set took over The Social on this night. Bourgeois Bass, the opening DJ act that follwed LRG, managed to fill the room with a smorgasbord of low frequency love. Luvstep took over that night until the lights came on courtesy of our homies at Plugged Not Thugged taking us late night because it felt right. The rented sub made everyone forget this was the same venue in which Rusko was unable to finish his set due to issues with the soundsystem.
Zeds Dead will be playing a very special wonky Hip Hop set alongside Jogger, Nosaj Thing and Daedalus at Wrongbar this Thursday.
Here is a little mix that Mr. Mandelephant from PnT dropped my way. Check it.

This was a great night @ the social!! We @ pluggednotthugged.com had an amazing time, as did our friends, and from the looks of it…the whole venue. Was great to see all of the acts (minus LRG, sorry I missed that one!) and see so many hot and sweaty bodies shaking it on the dancefloor. I had a heavy hitting BASS FACE on the whole night, and all together I think this event was as LARGE AS A BARGE!!
Thanks to everyone who made it such a pimp night.
