Trance music isn’t something that I usually go to see performed live, but I’m a huge fan of Oliver Smith’s mixes and original work, and heard that he plays great sets, so had to go and check him out. His energy was sky high for the entire performance, and had his intimate audience dancing form start to finish. I’ve never been to a DJ set with a small-ish audience before, and I was worried that it wouldn’t have the same buzz and high energy, but if anything, it heightened everything and had everyone appreciating what they were seeing even more.
He played a great set of remixes and original tracks, and had everyone dancing along and singing to the vocal samples that he used in his music. He was great at shouting out to the audience and getting us hyped for the drop and then the next track. He’s got a long way to go before he’ll be playing arenas, but his foundations and basic skills are absolutely fantastic, and he deserves all the recognition he can get.
