russian percussion

Just came back from the Proletariat. DJ Vadim and company rocked the house tonight. DJ First Rate of the Scratch Perverts fucked shit up - he did some unbelievable shit on the turntables tonight. At one point he balanced a turntable on his head and did some scratching and juggling. Vadim dropped some of his tunes, and then rocked a dutty dancehall set for the last fifteen minutes of the night. Together on four turntables the two of them killed it. The crowd was live - far more hype than I've seen in a long time in Houston - and everyone was there to have a good time. If Vadim is coming through your town, you damn well better go...

  2. Yes, Yarah performed. She did a good job hyping up the crowd, and ran through a couple of the songs she's done with Vadim. She also covered the Sarah Jones tune with Vadim (Your Revolution). Mostly she ran the onstage banter with the crowd. Last time they were in town she seemed to have a larger role - she rhymed a lot longer last time and even did an impromptu freestyle.

  3. WOW!!! I just saw Russian Percussion for the first time in Boulder, Colorado and they were SO GOOD! Vadim and First Rate performed some of the most musical DJing that I've seen yet. Yarah Bravo amazed me with her rhythmic word delivery and charmed me with her stage presence.

    I barely found out about their show a couple days ago, and man, I am so glad that I got to go. They exemplify what a musical ensemble is about.
