The bass could be heard as the ferry pulled up to the dock and all one could think at that moment was “It’s game time.” Show-goers found refuge from the extreme heat under giant tents and maintained composure compliments of the $18 “all you can drink” Lemonade. Rye Rye, the spirited and youthful hip-hop maven, had no regard for the heat as she opened the show. Filled with all sorts of energy, Rye Rye would rarely break from rapping, but when she did, she could be found dancing from one side of the stage to the other. As she dove deeper into her set, more and more people became attracted to the stage, jumping up and down, dancing, or just watching her run her mouth in awe. Equipped with a set of dancers (even a few from the crowd), Rye Rye closed her set with her very own rendition of “Party In The U.S.A.”. Skream & Benga, seminal dub-step trendsetters from Croydon, England, brought the crowd to a whole new level. Playing an extended set of remixed classics and demoing new material, Skream & Benga upped the ante. The duo started just as the sun was setting and pushed on for an hour and a half into the twilight. With cameos from a few English hip-hop heads, the crowd wasn’t allowed to stand still – in fact, the crowd was letting loose left and right. With a grimy remix of La Roux’s “In For The Kill” and a nostalgic remix of “Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean”, the crowd was left in anticipation for the remaining acts. Sleigh Bells, hometown heroes from Brooklyn, took the stage to show off their unique combination of synth-pop, fuzzy guitar solos and infectious beats. Having past musical experiences in the teen pop group, RubyBlue and post-hardcore band, Poison The Well, the duo has created a sound that has neither been named or replicated.

Opening the set with a series of very ‘metal’ riffs, the two had the audience scrambling for reactions. The set was short, but very intense – the seizure filled lighting and vibrant color combinations were the right conditions to slay through half a dozen songs.ĭie Antwoord, the Cape Town, South African futuristic rap crew, made a highly anticipated appearances at the festival.
