BT & Edgar V @ Revolution Review + Pics + Videos
Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Not exactly what you'd call a haven or hot spot for good EDM. Hip-hop, rock and drum n bass usually call the shots around the strip in Las Olas.
Tonight, that was broken....by breaks...and some serious EDM, laid out by 2 big names in the business, BT (Brian Transeau) and South Florida legend Edgar V.
The club Revolution IS located where the now defunct but famous Chili Pepper once stood, and has 2 floors and reminded me of ICON in Orlando, only defintely a lot smaller. The crowd...um, tonight me Mel and I saw some of the weirdest characters around. Total sketchfest, to say the least. 
The opening DJ(s) for the night were laying down some sick breaks from beginning to end. All very enjoyable stuff. Great warm up for BT...
And finally, the man came on. Started out with some proggish stuff, then started building up some serious momentum until the set was banging NASTY. This man has a serious level of energy, as Mel said, and awesome crowd interaction. I'll let Mel tell you what BT's favorite word is.  Still, he was having a great time behind his Apple laptop. Too bad the Fort Lauderdale crowd is so shitty, but then again, all of us here in SoFLTA know that all too well, don't we?
His final three songs put a great smile on my face.
BT - Dreaming (????? remix) <- NASTY. Just NASTY. Never heard this mix in my entire life.
Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit (BK bootleg remix) <- This track got the crowd totally going.
And finally...and my song of the night...
Tiësto featuring BT - Love Comes Again (Original mix)
Cheese, yes. Do I care? Fuck no. Do I still love it? Fuck yes, and fuck you if you don't. 
Just....amazing set by BT.
Onto Edgar V.
Edgar came on and threw down a mixture of dirty, nasty breaks and others...as always he did a great job. He played a song or 2 Mel could ID.
I took a SHITload of pics and some videos, but I'll leave that for tomorrow because
1. I'm exhausted. 2. I'm hungry. 3. My right ear is ringing.
Hell, it was a great, fun night...Mel can fill in on the girl who took the spill and the rest of the shenanigans, as well.
Till the next time....
DA
