Live Review: Nathan Fake, Clunk, All State & Get More

Admittedly, The Causeway was an unsuspecting venue to host UK electronic experimental whiz Nathan Fake, but the real surprise of the night was the price. At just $10, entry was a steal, welcoming an assortment of Nathan Fake fans as well as your local Causeway roundup. Clunk opened for the night, serving up a mixed bag of low end goodies, finishing off with last year's sing a long house anthem, Joy Orbison's Ellipsis. Taking things over was All State, who provided a selection of groovy numbers, including a marvellous mix between John Talabot's So Will Be Now and Jimmy Edgar's Let Yrslf Be. The local boy ended a silky smooth set by taking us back to 1991, with Orbital's timeless Belfast, whilst Fake made sure his patching and equipment was all ready to go.

You could really discern the live element in Nathan Fake's set; adjusting LFO's and frequencies in real time made for a real rawness, as well as delivering an authentic sense of urgency, with percussion and synth work constantly making twists and turns. Halfway through the set things started to speed up a bit, which followed by a suitable rise in energy from an enthusiastic audience. A live and much more upbeat edit of The Sky Was Pink was received with applause and cheering, and made for a definite highlight for the night.  Local Causeway DJ Get More then took to the decks giving us a different variety of party vibes. Kicking his set off with Eats Everything's 'reruff' of Justin Martin's Reruff, Get More then dished up some more driving house numbers from the likes of Julio Bashmore and Duke Dumont, before taking things more into the realm of hip hop as well as electro house.
