TEED & DJs Pave The Way For The Oxjam Music Festival

REVIEW: As one week of music closes a whole month opens...

Friday, September 27, 2013 - 13:04

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, the indie/electronic DJ known for his eccentric dress and prehistoric costumes joined Holy Ghost, Psychemagik and Zero 7 for the last night of the Oxjam launch party series (September 26). Sadly, dubstep turned disco heavyweight, Skream could not make the evening but that didn’t stop East London’s raving crew from getting their rocks off with Juan MacLean happily stepping in to go back2back with TEED.

Feeling: Picking straight up from where 2manydjs left off at Wednesday night’s knees up, non-stop house party vibes and an overwhelming relief that the weekend is nigh. No breaks, no intervals just a continuous knees up for night four in the, by then, not so secret Shoreditch location where the events have taken place.

Tunes: Drum kits and guitars were thrown out of the window for last night’s event with all eyes on the decks. It’s hard to think back to a time when House wasn’t king as the acts showed last night playing everything from Deep to Jackin', think 90s throwbacks, Flat Beat’s Mr Oizo a prime example.

Sweat Factor: Despite the complex dance moves and occasional dance floor lunges the Oxjam faithful appeared to keep themselves cool as has been the case at previous nights a mixture of refreshing cocktails and ice slushes are probably to thank for this East End rave being not becoming one giant sweat box.

Special Guests: Despite a Skream no-show the crowd was more than happy to welcome TEED who graced the decks and let his mixing and tune selections do the talking, needless to say the party went on!

Summary: As one week of music closes a whole month opens, the Oxjam nights have really captured everyone’s imagination mixing charity with great music, TEED and co provided everything needed to close the celebrations in style.
