France’s finest, the ultra cool Ed Banger Records, brings its electro-house to the cold hills of the North in spectacular style. With Club Pony already a firm favourite amongst fans of synthesisers, drum machines and double vodkas, it doesn’t take a large stretch of the imagination to envisage the anticipation caused by tonight’s guest DJ. Feadz is a Parisian-based artist well known for pulling blinding headline shows out of the hat, as well as for his work with Mr. Oizo and Uffie, who also happens to be his long-term missus. Tonight, DQ is crammed with bodies and when Feadz begins his set there is a manic crush towards the front of the stage accompanied by expectant applause. Feadz keeps the crowd engaged by mixing in some classic house and hip hop tracks with the most up-to-date in European techno and electro music (with a distinct nod to several of his label-mates). The music builds up to immense climaxes followed by hard-hitting beats that make almost everyone in the room want to dance like a twat and pull robot-style shapes. The thin-framed DJ bops about the stage and is visibly happy about the enthusiasm displayed by the Club Pony crowd. Feadz, with his forward-thinking, original and experimental skills, carries on well into the night and ends up leaving everyone with fun-filled memories, if not a sentimental hangover the next day. In the words of Uffie, “Feadz is bangin’”.
