Loudpvck’s music has been mostly remixes, as much of EDM is. “This year we’re planning on releasing an all original EP,” Beats said. At this point the music crowd has gotten a little tired of trap, but after Thursday night it seems trap might not be dead after all.Īccording to Loudpvck’s Kenny Beats, they’ll be supporting Paper Diamond for the rest of his national tour and they are hoping for a big year. Loudpvck’s set was definitively the “grimiest” of the night. They had the crowd in their hands,” Miller said. “Loudpvck was just nuts, it was just so grimey. Trap music is characterized by aggressive bass and synths. Characterized by aggressive bass and synth, the trap music duo brought the most intensity to the venue and took the audience into a proper frenzy. After only being around for a year and a half, they’ve already made a big name for themselves in EDM.ĭuring Loudpvck’s set the crowd teetered on the verge of a full-on riot. Up next came Loudpvck, a relatively-new project formed by Kenny Beats and Ryan Marks from Los Angeles. The audience could groove to McCarten’s music, but it didn’t make them want to break the walls. The producer from Chicago definitely had the calmest set to listen to, but enjoyable nonetheless. The vocals that he sampled proved to be favorites throughout the night. The transitions and build-ups in McCarten’s music put the audience into a trance of anticipation. McCarten kept the energy flowing in the audience with his mix of groovy electronic music. John McCarten, known as Manic Focus was the first opener on the bill.

Denver native, Raw Russ wasn’t on the bill, but everyone contented themselves with dancing to his music. The half-empty venue filled up within matter of minutes. Looking around a couple songs into the set, it was like Russ’s music had summoned people out of thin air. When my boredom was about to reach its limit, Raw Russ began his DJ set. People who were turned away sought refuge in local coffee shops and the public library downtown.įor the next 45 minutes small talk made its way through the crowd, bored before the music began. The staff was strict in their door policy, not even allowing press in before their scheduled time. The artists encompass a range of music from electronic-soul to the more aggressive trap.

“The Cold Crush Tour” featuring Paper Diamond, Loudpvck and Manic Focus hit its fourth stop in Asheville, beginning in Birmingham, Ala. The tension in the room builds to almost unbearable levels, but the lights come on, the speakers turn up and the smokers all rush in side. Smokers bear the freezing temperatures outside while eyes of the people inside dance around between their close circle of friends. The calm before the storm, the uneasy feeling of anticipation that comes with almost every electronic dance show looms.
