Live Review: Pále, Leon Osborn, Sid Pattni, Sable, Ssnoob

The relaxed vibe of Mojos Bar was a great spot for 19-year-old British electronic musician Pále to pick for the last show of his international tour, bringing along a host of diverse local electronic artists to provide a great night of chilled out electronic music. Andrew Weir aka Ssnoob got the show started with sound of minimal beats alongside huge swelling synth sounds on new song Slap before kicking into the similar yet more upbeat Noreh. He let fly with some freestyled samples on set closer DCPD, immersing it in a hazy, delay-driven mess of synth pads and electronic voices.

Next act Leon Osborn took the tempo up a notch, delivering more driving material heavy on mixing in various sampled voices and percussion on newer tracks Only and Top Dollars (I Am Not Rich). As the set came to a close, Osborn delivered a wash of reverb-drenched organ sounds that drew a huge response from the audience.

Sid Pattni delivered a very smooth set heavy on hip hop and soul samples along with electronic grooves and dub-heavy basslines. Original track About You sampled some Marvin Gaye for a nice touch of R&B in the mix and Star Joe featured heavy hip hop bass, droning drum sounds and, of course, random selections of Will Ferrell Zoolander dialogue throughout the mix.

Final local musician Sable got the crowd fired up for the headliner with a set heavy on the house and garage. Starting with smooth opener Slink, his set was a diverse mix of the driving rhythms of tracks like Limit Break and the hypnotic sounds of bass-heavy tracks Blinding Light. After trying out his live Auto-Tune skills on new track Shimmer, the musician capped off his set with the Eastern-inspired sound of Haku, receiving a great response from the audience and capping off the night's fine display of local talent.

It was finally time for Pále to make his way onstage and finish off the last live set of his massive tour. Starting with Let Them Talk, the British artist whipped the crowd up into frenzy. It was easy to tell all the live performing had been good for the artist, who seemed much more focused and engaged onstage as he mixed the performances. New songs Rooul and Silverstair had the similar ethereal qualities and minimal electronic beat of tracks such as All Silver. As the set came to a finish, the electronic artist said he was going to do one more, playing the epic-sounding unreleased track Fraction Of You. It featured a bubbling synth sound and reverb-drenched samples that got a huge response from the crowd, capping off a great night of electronic music and a great tour for the young British musician.
