What an amazing trip to see this DJ. This venue was located in the United Kingdom and specifically in London. It took a 9hr flight to make it there and the flight was a breeze. This was my first trip to this magnitude and first ever time in London. I went with 2 friends and one of which has a severe flight anxiety but with our help this passenger made it over with minimal issues. We stayed in a hotel out there and saw all the sights while in town. I noticed the folks were very standoffish to Americans due to their leader “Boris” who is similar to that fuck-tard Trump. The venue itself reminded me of a local club here in Seattle called “Trinity” as the club has various rooms playing different music in each room. Ministry of Sound has an upper and lower area with VIP area up top overlooking where TroyBoi would be playing. We had VIP which enabled us to be close to the stage and I worked my magic to get us all gold bracelets to do meet and greets with the DJ’s including Troyboi. He seems like a nice dude and we had ran into him while he was in Seattle last time so he was impressed we all came to London to see this show. Once the show started I was blown away with his entrance, high energy and confetti shot out everywhere as he walked in and shouted “Welcome to London” and then the music opened. His sounds have a hip hop influence to his sets. So even if you aren’t an electronic fan I think us rap and hip hop heads can appreciate the mixes. The entire room was high energy and people from all different races and backgrounds were head bang’in to the music. All you could hear were UK accents and music blast’n with pretty go-go dancers all around the perimeters of the room. The show was great and worth the trip worth the experience. If you haven’t ever been to the UK before, you really need to go.

TroyBoi Live @Showbox Sodo 11/14/19

The was one of my first times seeing a show like this. I was at a Kaskade show some yrs ago that had electronic dance music but I still feel like this was more a first for a show like this. Showbox Sodo is perfect for EDM style shows as it’s a big venue but not overly huge with plenty of area to get up front. I never heard of this guy but went with a crew of friends all in light-up glasses so we could find each other if we got lost in the crowd. (I was the only one to still have my glasses on/working and intact by the end of the night). What was cool about this TroyBoi artist was that he had a hip-hop influence on his music so even though you had sections on a loop of hip-hop noises it was blended into dance music in a really artistic way. I was also happy with the crowd because everyone was so nice. I usually go to hip-hop/rap shows and when you bump into people or step on shoes it could be your face that pays the price. At this show we bumped into many folks in the mosh pit as we walked through the crowd like the movie “belly” when they walked into the nightclub with glow-in-the dark contacts. Meaning we walked through everyone as a unit of light-up faces that even EDM heads had to look and stare. I am very certain about 90% of the folks were on some type of drugs there to produce such care-free joy but if you are drinking alcohol you are on a drug too technically. Either way it was a fun show and I would do EDM shows again as well as see this artist again. We ran into him at Trinity Nightclub after the show and exchanged a few chats about the show. I was surprised to hear a UK accent but equally impressed of how humble TroyBoi was and thankful that I tried a new type of music genre to attend.
