A politically-charged wonderland: Glastonbury 2017 was memorable for all the right reasons
Nothing else compares
Strickly Dubz 'Realise'
Pearson Sound (UKG Set), Saturday, London Underground
Once again we return to Block9 and it's become an absolute breeding ground for outrageous behaviour and music alike. London Underground hasn't really been given a run out yet so we head over there for something of a rare treat. Pearson Sound is a favourite in the Mixmag office and after he joined his Hessle Audio brothers for a 10 year birthday bash at the Wow stage in Silver Hayes earlier in the festival, it was time to switch things up. Now we all know that UK Garage is the best genre ever conceived and when Pearson Sound was announced that he would be rolling out a UKG set, we knew we had to check it. Not only did he completely obliterate the Underground, he also played a plethora of garage heaters that we'd never heard before. It wasn't your run-of-the-mill UKG set, it was intelligent selection coupled with complete an utter absurdity. We were taps aff, we were jumping up and down, we were in our element. A highlight of the festival and maybe the best set of the year. 'Realise' by Strickly Dubz perfectly sums up the levels that were being hit. Out to the London Underground dancing cru! Funster
