I've been aware for quite a while now that people are less and less, attaching themselves to a specific genre of music. Folk will listen to hip hop, house, dubstep and drum & bass without worry or trying to only be part of one group, and rightfully so, as such narrow-mindedness would only result in missing out on much of the great music out there.
This, to me, was some of the thinking towards Problem Child. We had Joy Orbison, a man transcending electronic boundaries to the point where it not worth trying to describe. His fantastic set brought the night together wonderfully with elements of house and dubstep combining to create a unique journey.
After Joy's set things got altogether heavier, with dubstep stars True Tiger stepping up to the plates. They played an hour long dubstep rinse out, feeding the crowd and raising energy levels a stage higher. Local MC's Chunky and Strategy were on hosting duties, and anyone who's seen these boys knows they never disappoint, performing great as a double act and keeping the punters pumped!
Post True Tiger we're treated to a live performance from Newham General's. D-Double & Footsie stomp through their hits and collaborations to a wild audience. These two get as big a reception as anyone on this night- reaching fever pitch for Breakage collab 'Hard' and D-Double's 'Street Fighter'.
As if that wasn't enough, Jenna G and Tonn Piper then take to the stage and annouce that its time to raise the tempo to 170+ for a set from the hottest new artist in Drum & Bass, Netsky of Hospital Records. Netsky doesn't disappoint, playing all his own tunes the audience are expecting, as well as some of the lates Hospital cuts. Special mention here though, has to go the hosts. Jenna & Tonn form a tag-team double act for an awesome performance, their skills compliment each other brilliantly and provide something a little different to your average D&B set.
All in all, this Problem Child caused mass misbehaviour and I for one hope they don't get expelled!
