As one of my favourite DJs, I’ve seen Roni Size perform multiple times, and can’t encourage anyone enough to see him perform. As well as being an incredibly talented performer, he was also the founder of Reprazent, the drum and bass group who won a Mercury Prize for their album. In the performance, it was awesome that he had a rapper singing over his music, and encouraging the audience to dance and get involved. Sometimes in DJ sets it’s easy to forget that someone’s performing their music, but the support vocalist assisted in making the performance electric. He would step back and signal for everyone to watch Size in the moments where he was mixing like crazy, raising the beat, and scratching the decks. He played mainly form Take Kontrol, the newest album, which was epic as it was one of the first times it had been performed since its release. He also played Kops & Robbers, whick of course everyone at the concert knew inside out and so everyone was on the dance floor with their arms in the air.
The atmosphere was awesome, and he even played a couple of tracks form a Reprazent album that’s currently unreleased. Hearing new music before it goes mainstream is wonderful, and the fact that Size shared that with us was really special.
