Dibia$e + Knxwledge in Fresno

Sergio and I made it out last night for the show and I am so glad we did. The show was a blast and I was really surprised of the crowd that showed up to support them. Sergio and I were front and center for the whole night and got a up close and personal look at gear and energy of each performer. The first act was Sahab, his beats and melodies were very nice and glitchy but the vocals were something less desired. Since he was a Fresno boy, I figured all this crowd was for him and it would die down after his set was done. I was wrong… Next up on stage was Knxwledge and he tore it up. His mix match sample selection and overdriven/clipping samples & effects were to die for. He was armed with a Macbook and a Korg nanoKONTROL2 and that was it. The set started with a few problems with his external audio interface and a shotty cable but it was well on its way in 10 minutes. You can tell when his nerves calmed and he really got in the zone. Next up was Dibia$e and he did not disappoint. His sounds were a bit cleaner than Knxwledge and his melodies were not as glitchy and the bass drops were out of this world. He kept the crowd moving well after 1:00 am.

One of my favorite things about this show was to see Knxwledge & Dibia$e interact with each other and give each other praise for their beats. It was nice to see 2 performers have the same love for something a respect each other. All in all it was a great time and there were no issues at the club which leaves me to believe I will definitely see more shows at Audie’s Olympic.

Till next time.
