I wish I could have been at UMF to see this. RCP hero Style of Eye showed threw down a superb set, with a wild track list featuring productions by Dillon Francis, Diplo & GTA, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. Even Missy Elliott‘s 2002 anthem ‘Work It‘ made its way into his routine. This was SoE’s debut UMF set, and he meant business. At the 1:46 mark, the set plummets into the depths rave hell, probably bursting a couple dozen skulls in and around the Miami crowd. Managing to cater to the American mainstream with a few festival staples while still showcasing his more esoteric house influences, Eklöw took the crowd in different directions every couple minutes, letting loose with some rapid fire transitions. I can’t wait until I get to see this guy live again. Listen up for his and Tom Staar‘s new track ‘After Dark‘ and his remix of Zedd‘s ‘Clarity’. He also played fellow Swede DJ Carli‘s new track, ‘Look Up‘, which is out now on A-Trak‘s Fool’s Gold Records, and definitely worth a listen.
