Downlink bass war2/25/2023 ![]() ![]() And Destroid is looking exactly like what a combination of Excision, Downlink, and KJ Sawka would – terrifying. The possibilities are literally endless and, so far, Pendulum DJ set and Knife Party have been killing it. It’s awesome that each member is taking their own creative energies and putting them into different projects. ![]() Two of them kept the name Pendulum and continue playing DJ sets, which is what we had at Bassgiving, as mentioned before band leader Rob Swire started the group Knife Party, and other member KJ Sawka is teaming up with Downlink and Excision to create Destroid, as well as recently becoming the full-time drummer for Conspirator (a side project of The Disco Biscuits that has played upwards of 100 shows this year alone). ![]() Pendulum originally began as a band of 5 members, which definitely had their time, and for whatever reasons they split up and now all of them are doing their own things. Foreign Beggar’s was here as part of The Uprising Tour, which is named after their latest album release, The Uprising, that came out this October featuring many tracks they dropped on this night – including mega banger right now, “Apex” (produced by Knife Party which, interestingly is two members from the former band Pendulum!). But, in all honesty, it looked like a freaking rad time. Foreign Beggars splits the crowd in half getting each side amped up, basically so they can all run into each other and start moshing – which sounds, and probably is, pretty dangerous. The group had the crowd going crazy making a “Wall of Death” during “Shellshock”, a track produced with Noisia. The UK accent adds a sick element to the rap as well, and the lyrics are definitely not light – they have some deep lyrical content it goes perfectly with the style of music they’ve produced.ĭJs No-Names were spinning vinyl at this show (which is getting pretty rare these days) and were really awesome. Foreign Beggars, on the other hand, keeps both ends smooth enough so the tracks don’t sound like they’ve just made a track and threw some rap over it, yet still goes hard enough to make for some bangin’ hip hop, and a lot of Drum n’ Bass. It’s hard for a lot of artists to combine rap and dubstep because often one ends up overkilling the other. And the MCs (who call themselves Orifice Vulgatron and Metropolis) spit some lyrics that most rappers today have forgotten how to do. Based out of London, this hip-hop group brings together rap and grimey dubstep, producing some chill but super heavy beats. So you can still work, do whatever you’ve gotta do that night, and make it to the show without missing much, like Foreign Beggars who came on at midnight. ![]() One of the great things about Webster Hall is that the shows start pretty late. There was literally not one break in the movement, and it actually seemed like these people were gaining more energy as time went on rather than losing it from all the dancing! From the wall of death during Foreign Beggars to the end of Pendulum’s set the crowd was going hard. Headliners Foreign Beggars, Caspa, and Pendulum’s DJ set turned Webster Hall upside down. Artists came from all over for this show (including our home boys from Queens, Sazon Booya!!) and gave us all even more reason to sit around and be lazy and eat food all through the next day. Before we all got to stuff our faces with turkey (and potatoes, stuffing, pies….) this Thanksgiving, Bassgiving stuffed our faces with so much bass that you wouldn’t believe. ![]()
