MJ Cole's live sound was super groovy from the first beat of his first song to the end of the set. It was actually intelligent, beautiful, and dance-oriented the whole time. "Crazy Love" opened the set, which was an incredible song that mixed cool jazz and hip hop with soul and electronic.
The drum beats dipped and rose, and stacked up on top of each other, and created an expansive world of changing drum beats and dynamics. The songs never lost energy because of the brilliant drum patterns, but one thing that really made MJ Cole stand out was the use of samples and live instruments in conjunction with each other. This gave the songs an artificial, and organic sound that made the music so much more deep and full. The track "Sincere" opened up with some cool sounding reversed piano and bleeping synths.
The music actually sounded a lot like some popular genres of today, like chillwave and dubstep. MJ Cole was very ahead of their time, and was actually able to create some ridiculously beautiful tunes. This band really hit me on a raw level with its fanciness, but really struck a chord in my soul with it's beautiful samples, and atmospheres.
