Usually when I review a show I give the lowdown on each act
hitting on what made them memorable, good or bad. For this show, which also
featured Emancipator Ensemble and Real Magic, I’m going to bypass that to
single out, Odesza, the one act that really dazzled the crowd last
Saturday night at the Crofoot. Odesza is an electronic music duo from Seattle
that laid down a set of heavy hip hop inspired electronic mayhem that sent the
crowd to near hysteric levels.
Pulling from their ep “My Friends Never Die” and various
other beats and tracks the songs melded together in a seamless set. Behind the
table, each DJ had an identical set of gear they operated while dancing. From
above I could see them manipulate various lighted buttons, move levers and
twirl knobs but distinguishing out who was doing what was near impossible. What
I could sort out was these guys were stealing the show and it won’t be long
until they are headlining their own. You can catch more of what Odesza has to
offer on their recently released mixtape No.Sleep Mix.03.
