Feed Me, Madeon, & AfroWhitey at Beacham Theatre Dec 27th, 2011
Feed Me, Madeon, AfroWhitey, and Dustin Skiles delivered! Up first was Dustin Skiles of Static System Music who warmed up the decks blasting deep progressive house causing early arrivers to rush the floor. Glow sticks and LEDs were already cracked and twirling by 10:30PM; it was going to be one of those nights. AfroWhitey took over and raised fists with their unique style of hip-hop infused dubstep that recently landed them in Mixmag and a Ministry of Sound compilation. Featuring Dustin Hulton behind the decks and Dee Robes on the mic, AfroWhitey’s sound is both fun and a little cocky at the same time. Not the easiest thing to pull off, but they make it look that way.
The room was completely electric, full of energy, and a thousand smiling faces kept the mood happy and positive from beginning to end. Once AfroWhitey was done loosening up the crowd, Madeon was introduced to Orlando with thundering applause. He started playing and quickly made everyone in the crowd a little bit jealous. Madeon is already playing in front of big crowds at 17 years old, and doing it well. I was impressed with his track selections; he showed knowledge of older records that helped pave the way for today’s artists. If you have seen his video “Pop Culture”, that’s pretty much what you heard live. French House, Nu Wave, Electro, just straight up fun Electronic Dance Music. Everyone was bouncing; even the VIP was breaking it down. I’d be surprised if Madeon doesn’t make a few appearances during the upcoming festival season. He plays that feel-good stuff that makes you forget about life’s problems, the stuff that festivals always use for those super-cool promo videos.
Speaking of festival season… The last time Feed Me came to Orlando was for EDC, and there was so much going on that I wasn’t there for the full set. I’m sure I’m not alone on that one either; it’s hard to catch everyone at a festival like EDC. I was excited to get the full performance this time around. As expected, Feed Me brought the house down with the heaviest of heavy Bass selections. It’s hard not to like that signature green face full of teeth flashing on VJs screens, while the nastiest Electro House, Dubstep, and Drum and Bass is being laid down by a pro. The place went nuts when he dropped his own stuff. This was an awesome night with great music and beautiful people. Orlando represented, again, and gave Feed Me and Madeon a reason to come back. Good work!
