Fiber Party Review
So Wednesday evening we went to Fiber Hemelvaart SOLD OUT | MADUK, KANINE, CULTURE SHOCK & more. in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Two and a half hours of car to go and to come back, but boy was it worth it
Firstly, the venue is really good. Both rooms have great soundsystems, good sound engineers who balanced the sound perfectly, nice light show in both rooms, although I preferred the light show in room 2, in room 1 it was a little too bright for my taste. The drink selection was varied, with some local craft beers available The personnel and security was nice, the public was super cool too, polite when passing through and easily sharing their fun Toilets were pretty clean. Poppodiums are like Cultural Centres, not for profit, benefiting from financial help from the local government, and I must say I’m impressed by how the Netherlands have succeeded in creating such awesome places for alternative musical events
Leniz opened the main room with a nice set, warmed us up nicely.
Then came Keeno , who combined mixing with playing piano, and presented his brand new EP ; Courage. And it was F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C Such good flow, transitions, selection, all awesome. And his piano playing on top was really SO GOOD, it added a whole new dimension to the music Also, at the end, the organizer of the event came on stage to play guitar on one of his songs, and it was also a great combination Our good friend MC Fava added his usual high quality MCing, being such a good director for the public, helping create connection within the public, energizing us even more
We then went to room 2 to see him (MC Fava) perform both as DJ and MC to showcase his album that is coming out on SUN AND BASS records in a few days His set was awesome, such good vibes, such awesome singing, also good flow, we danced the whole time We’ve seen him perform as DJ + MC several times now, and we can’t wait for the next one
We stayed a little in room 2 to see Fava MC on Telomic ‘s set, which was nice, but the flow was a little flat and missed some high energy tracks here and there. We hope his set at Liquicity Antwerp tonight will be different
Thanks to Fava, we were able to congratulate Keeno on his awesome set, and he’s was such a gentleman too
We caught the end of Culture Shock , which was awesome too, full power
Then we saw Kanine , great set too, full energy, jump up but not new school, good flow
The final set by The Caracal Project B2B Buunshin lasted 1h45, was very good at the start but then went into halftime, some 120 sounds, lot of 4×4, not so much our taste, but well mixed
A huge thank you to the organizers for such a nice party
We’ll definitely come back
