Loefah has just been added to a the Phat 11 new years festival line-up in New Zealand.

I was happy to hear this of course (especially because I have never seen him), but have since heard predominantly negative feedback about his sets. This has included both poor mixing and track selection you might not expect from a DMZ member.

Wondering if anyone could give some further feedback/info on his sets? Who has seen him by himself (ie not at a DMZ night etc) ? What can I expect?


Also, for anyone who might be interested, the Phat 11 line up so far consists of: Loefah, Black Sun Empire, dBridge, Camo & Crooked, Evol Intent, Excision, Datsik, Digital, Consequence, Upbeats, Concord Dawn, State of Mind, Trei, plus a whole load of locals. *edit + Andy C

Thanks in advance for any info!

LOL who told you that?

He's not once been anything short of legendary when I've seen him

He was rubbish when I saw him - silence between tunes and shit. Jus' sayin.

Lol you've clearly never been to a Roots/Dub Reggae night have you?

He's sick, Plays mainly Addison Groove, Joe, Ramadanman, Guido and stuff now - but will throw in classics!

a bit of silence is just a chance to get your breath back n loosen up that chest tension from the overpowering bass that would have just been playing...

seriously tho, ive never seen loefah be anything less than amazing

track selection n all

one of the best sets ive seen this year was predominately loefahs part at one of the dmz nights earlier this year.

also seen him a couple times on his own/not at a dmz. ive never seen a set of his which i would describe as poor.

his mixing is usually good and even at the worst of times his tune selection is still pretty solid. now with all the forthcoming swamp material and much more i cant see him having a shortage of dubs to pull out.

last few mixes i've heard from him have been nice and on point: autonomic, boiler room, etc. . he was supposed to tour here in the US and swing by boston two weeks ago, but canceled at the last minute due to visa troubles. said he's rearrange soon, and am definitely looking forward to that

He was sick both times in Auckland. Solid mixing and tunes. Loving his new direction (Addison Groove/Swamp 81 etc) - will be worth catching at PHAT for sure.

seen him 3 times...twice in Sydney and once at DMZ...absolutely one of the best djs in dubstep. all about the dark progressive tunes. cannot be missed!!

The dub reggae thing doesn't fly when you're playing quantized predominately 4/4 with long sequenced intros that are around the same bpm.

cannot wait for his set... 5am on the last night please . knee deep in mud

Solid is the word, I wasn't blown away with his selection second time around but he did a great job of building hype for Coki.
Would love to see him at Phat but I won't be in the country then.

Cheers for all the feedback. Stoked to be hearing more positive things than negative. Def looking forward to this one...

Any other thoughts please keep em coming

LOefah is the man.
major education sessions for most of phat that are there to see the brostep.
ive seen him twice and he killed it both times.
tune selection was impressive.

I saw him at the DMZ 5th b'day bash in his set vs the Mystikz and he smashed it if im honest. You should expect nothing less than tight mixing and good tune selection.

was in Bucharest with Pokes last year, he had some impressive dj-ing going on.

My boy is sick. Phat is in for a treat.
And in regard to silences etc.

ever heard of TECHNICALS?

Just sayin.
