Cadence Review: LTJ Bukem
The last Cadence party held over the weekend at Berhta’s Bette stage was nothing short of AMAZING!! The Cadence crew ALWAYS comes correct with the stellar lineups and the sweet vibes. Big ups to all those involved in making that happen and all those dancefloor memories.
Big up all crew
Special shouts to all those who traveled in by planes and trains to come vibe out in a huge way. The Uncommon Being crew bought it proper with their merch pop up shop. It was cool to be able to grab some of their shirts and gear at the party. The quality is superb. Big love to the Cali fam – Whys and Atmo for bringing it thru. And we have to discuss the music being heard all night long. It was dance floor action from start to finish. Baltimore’s Gingersnap got the floor super warmed up with sweet liquid selections. What a great set!! Richmond’s Joanna O. threw down a set both before and after LTJ Bukem. Extended vibey times on the floor! And of course LTJ Bukem is consistently bringing the vibes in the genre that he is most well known for. He plays tracks you haven’t heard yet , and classics you cannot wait to hear each time. He is a master and very skilled DJ. It’s never a bad time when you see his name on the lineup. This was one of his only three stops on this trip over from the UK. It may be awhile before we see him over in the USA for some time. Glad we could vibe out once more. What a legend!
About the night
The night was so astounding in the Bette room with the drum and bass family, that there is not much to report here about the other room. Trusted musical friends reported that Sven Vath was crushing it on vinyl though. And local DC fave Jus Nowhere had a great set too. The sound stacks in both rooms are phenomenal and the lighting is state of the art. It’s intense in a good way. In between the two rooms was an incredible amount of interactive art. Huge lighting displays that you could get in. The fluffy cloud hanging from the massive ceiling was a display straight from a camp at Burning Man. There was even a hearse you could do a selfie in with the Berhta logo. So fun and very ravey. This multi acre venue complex (Berhta, Bette, and outdoor Bananas) is tucked away in DC and even has parking. That’s crazy in DC! It is such a great place to rave out in.
What a night and party! Can’t wait til the next time we all meet here again. Missed this one, but don’t want to miss the next one? Subscribe to the Turnstyle newsletter and we will make sure you are in the know for recommended events.
