NOMO FOMO

(pic of BBE making my Skepta dreams come true)

HEY Scardy cats. If you are sensitive to FOMO maybe don't read this post about FOMO. Which begins in 3...2...

If you have been following club tours at all this year you probably would have seen the name BBE pop up a few times. They brought out people like TroyBoi, Flosstradamus, Baauer, DJ Snake, Djemba Djemba and literally countless more.

Well, they curated their very own festival that went ahead on Saturday and I don't have a negative thing to say about it. One stage, a huge natural amipthere and even bigger acts, FOMO brought out Skepta, Boys Noize, RL Grime, Flight Facilities, Keys N Krates, Jamie XX, Mr.Carmack, Anna Lunoe, Benson and UV Boi (not gonna try do that foreign language thing at the end of his name, I could copy paste but cbf).

It was the festival Brisbane has been dying for and it couldn't have come at a better time. Here's some things I'd like you to know about my own personal experience at FOMO festival at Brisbane's Riverstage.

1. STRONG UV rays, equally strong set from UV Boi 

2. Anna Lunoe's set and the way she looked watching the festival from the lil balcony (her tower) proved she was queen of the festival.

3. People LUV Keys N Krates more than you will ever know.

4. Skepta!

5. Don't cary around a roll of toilet paper incase you run into Shorty from BBK

6. Jamie xx was almost flawless. BUT C'MON DUDE! How you gonna not play Good Times. 4 real

7. The new Flight Facilities show is amazing (big up Hugo on that live auto tune). Owl Eyes was mesmerising as always

8. RL Grime looks like a god on stage and this was the best I've ever seen him play

9. The bro swerving on police from on top of a marquee during RL's set was the unofficial headliner. Almost got away, almost (see vid here) 

10. Attention to detail was key, the cute lil flowers on stage and umbrellas in my frozen FOMO blue drink were A+

11. Skepta.

(i would find any excuse to include Broad City into this post)

Friday Grime Day

It's grime time, trussss me. 

3 of my favourite grime boiz Skepta (left), Wiley (middle) and Bonkaz (right) just dropped 3 of the most *fire emoji* music videos ever this week. Grime is taking off rn, coming out hot from England, it's a relatively new genre that came about in the early 2000's and is basically a development from rap, UK garage and dancehall, it's so heavy, it sounds so dirty and it's ridiculously addictive. Don't worry this is no Dizzie Rascal shit, it's so much more legit than that. 

Skepta is killllling it after he released SHUTDOWN a couple of months ago and he has just dropped the video for it and the aesthetic is so large. Black and White sportswear as far as the eye can see, yes Skepta i'm all about it. He's got his whole squad behind him doing the whole Kanye West All Day thing (which was inspired by Grime) and I really wish I could be apart of it, I have a black tracksuit so I'm halfway there right?

Wiley is sick, I want Wiley to rap me a theme song that will be played every time I pull up or walk into a room. My favourite thing he has ever done is rap about how he likes rice, basmati, but this new song Chasing The Art is great too, he just put this video out 3 days ago and it's prettttyyy tight, the best part is the graffiti Queen Elizabeth wearing a flatcap, gwan with yo bad self Lizzy! 

Then my newest find and love is a fine young lad by the name of Bonkaz. He has been around for about a year and is now starting to blow up after he FINALLY released Run The Block  after only playing it live or in exclusive radio shows. So I am so glad I can finally have it on demand and on repeat, just the way I like it. If that wasn't enough to take over my life, he went and dropped the video on us and i've been unable to stop ever since. 

These guys are just 3 of the many, many, many grime acts that are changing the game right now. If you're into this and you like the vibe, I suggest you also keep an ear out for people like Novelist, JME and Sir Spyro to name a few.WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE! Long live grime #wahgwansxc 

Love, Kritty xx 

p.s if your in Australia it's pretty cold rn so you probably have a hoodie lying around somewhere close, I suggest you source out that hoodie and put it on before watching these videos in order to get the full grime experience. :) Welcome. 

#SHUTDOWN

i'm telling yoooOOoou
