HQ Oxford with D.Bridge & SP:MC

Epic absolutely epic. With fuck all on in Brum on Friday and the temptation of D.Bridge & SP:MC in Oxford the road trip was too much to miss. It didn't seem to take long to get down there at all, out to Cemtex for the Dubstep ranting keeping me entertained.

We arrived @ HQ at around 10.30 and were treated to the delights of a Hip-Hop classic's set from Grande, drawing for some heavy Nas tunes. The Drum n Bass soon proceeded as Azonica stepped up to warm the plates nicely for D.Bridge, going deep and distant the set went down like a sensual backrub, deep soothing bass tune after tune.

D.Bridge arrived with SP:MC at 12.30 and put on a performance I won't forget in a long time. I don't know what tempo he's producing at these days but he seems to be pushing the borders of Drum n Bass and Dubstep to the limits with such minimal yet powerful production and bass that can only be descibes as hair raising. After getting enough snaps I spent the rest of the set slumped in front of the bassbin in complete awe of the selection.

In summary, well worth the trip down, nice vibes in such a compact venue and the heavyweight system was on point throughout. Hold tight the two car fulls of Brummies road trippin' and the Oxford boy's for putting up with some of the lairy antics. Special shout to Azonica long time reader of BNTL.

Crowd antics..
