Live reviews
I saw Kill The Noise (Jake Stanczak) live at Grand Central in Miami, Florida in May, 2014. I'm a huge fan of electro house and dubstep, plus I'd heard a lot of Kill The Noise's music before I went to the show, so I thought I knew what to expect.
Boy, was I wrong. Watching Kill The Noise at a show was completely different than listening to a record. The venue was packed full and everyone was on their feet. The energy in the air was indescribable and the whole show was more cinematic than concert-like. "“She Likes To Party” was top-notch and flawless. Likewise, "Can't Give You Up" and "Growin' Up In The Gutter" were epic. Not only was the music amazing, the light show that accompanied Kill The Noise was pure choreographed genius, keeping time with the beat yet not overpowering the sound.
The audience really went wild when "Sleeze" played, screaming, jumping and head banging. The next day I was sore and tired, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It's easy to see why Kill The Noise has a world-wide reputation for being a musical master. If you get the chance to see a live show, do it because you won't be sorry.
New York record producer and DJ Jake Stanczak known by his stage names Kill the Noise has connections with the likes of Skrillex, Korn and Fatman Scoop so his sound is understandably varied. He has admitted to finding influence in a huge range of genres and artists so therefore his show is pretty complex as he seems to work harder in order to make tracks, samples and remixes all sit alongside one and other neatly.
This consistency keeps the crowd dancing whether they are bigger fans of the hip hop samples or the synth heavy dance numbers. The visuals also keep the trance/clubhouse atmosphere throughout the evening. It is very easy for electro producers to have a very conventional lighting display created however it is clear Jake has worked alongside his visual designer in order to create a light show that interacts with the music he plays. He closes the show with his gigantic reworking of Flux Pavilion's 'Freeway' which evokes huge cheers from the audience and they throw themselves into the final
dance-along much to Stanczak's delight as he raises his hands in salute.

I'm a big fan of KTN, but his show in Houston yesterday was kind of disappointing. Since I bought my tickets 2 months ago, I've been listening to KTN's two most recent mixtapes pretty regularly, so I was extremely surprised when I noticed that the majority of the set yesterday was exactly the same as the mix. The visuals also did not live up to my expectations... The killumination mixtape visuals were INCREDIBLE, some of the best I've ever seen. However his set yesterday looped between like 4 different clips the entire time. It could have been sooo much better than it was, but the tickets were crazy cheap so maybe he just said "fuck it" cause he wasnt gna make enough money.
