Flux Pavilion drops the bass at Stage AE
November 11, 2013
Joshua Steele, known in the dubstep world as Flux Pavilion, is an English producer and DJ. Steele is known best for both his original compositions and for his bass-heavy adaptations of hit pop and hip hop songs.
Among the endless crowd surfing, beer-throwing, head-bobbing and shirtless fans in attendance, security had its hands full. More than a few listeners were taken from the crowd and ejected from the venue through the photography pit, which only furthered the chaos created by fans who had fought their way to the front rows.
The performance of Flux Pavilion’s 2011 track “I Can’t Stop,” which was sampled on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne, sent fans into an even deeper frenzy of jumping, singing and dancing. Even a broken arm was not enough to negate the vibrating effect Steele had on his adoring fan base.
Booming speakers, intense lights and lasers, hurled beer bottles and an 8-foot-long “Flux Pavilion” light-up logo combined into a sensory overload that no doubt impressed the entire crowd.
