Magnetic Man – Itunes Festival (Review)

Magnetic man turned in a high power, bass driven set at the itunes festival @Roundhouse Camden 26th July 2011 without a doubt one of the highlights of the entire festival. A young boisterous crowd sang along to all their favourite magnetic man hits, complete with hot girls at the front of stage. Once Anthemic dropped the crowd proceeded to create a mosh pit, where over enthusiastic fans elsewhere within the round house mounted shoulders. All in the name of good, hot sweaty fun. The famous Roundhouse sound system sounded spectacular as the base and treble vibrated tunes including Flying Into Tokyo, I Need Air and Boiling Water helped create a euphoric atmosphere. Never before has dubstep featured as a part of the itunes music festival, automatically making this an event that was instantly cool. Highlight of the evening was the re emergence of Katy B after previously headlining at the itunes festival last week Tuesday. The crowd chanted Katy B and she appeared, returning the favour to her Rinse FM affiliates by performing chart smash Perfect Stranger and Cross Over. The impact of the short set was nothing less than epic the crowd proceeded to get chant we want more which was sadly ignored as the lights came on.

Glastonbury Highlights – Extended: Janelle Monae

Janelle Monáe treated festival goers to an amazingly soulful set. If some members of the audience did not know who Janelle Monae was know they know. Janelle Monae came armed with her ever evolving abundance of influences and her Wondaland collective to Worthy farm to offer a real treat for the West Holts Stage.

Channelling a mixture between Blade Runner and James Browns, Janelle Monae stamped her unique vocal identity, style and charisma all over the stage. Her performance a genius mixture of original song compositions from her album’s Metropolis and ArchAndroid which had many debating if Janelle Monae stole the show and if there could ever be a performance that would surpass what ilikeitalot would easily class within the top 5 performances at Glastonbury festival 2011. Janelle Monae and the Worderland Collective’s unique live show was the icing on the festival cake and they even treated fans to a pleasant surprise as hundreds of party balloons were launched into the audience during the performance of hit single “Tightrope.” Clearly a career defining moment, as Monae’s explosive set will go down as one of the great performances at Glastonbury for years to come.

Set List

1.Dance or Die
2.Faster
3.Locked Inside
4.Call The Law
