I’m not easily impressed by live DJs although I love listening to techno and electronic dance music, so I was a little apprehensive when I went to see Guy Gerber perform live. I must say though, I was extremely pleasantly surprised at the awesome show he put on. The reason I don’t enjoy some of the DJ sets is because the artists pre-record all of their mixes and tracks, and simply switch between them in their performance, but Gerber was using live synths, mixers, samples, and even drum machines really using his talent to mix and create awesome music.
At the beginning of the set, he called out for everyone to ‘put your phones away, enjoy the vibe’, which was great, because I always think it’s a shame to watch a live show through a screen! The music started off pretty chilled out, and everyone was wandering round with drinks enjoying the vibe, and as he build up the tempo of the music, so everyone began moving forwards and dancing. He was really great at engaging with the audience, from everything to dancing along to his music, to calling out to see if we were having a good time. The tracks he played were a great selection of his own hits, such as Belly Dancing, to his collaborations and remixes, so there really was something for everyone.
