Concert Review: Nosaj Thing @ The El Rey Theater

 


There is no better way to spend a Thursday evening than with the Dublab crew! Although Jogger and Toro y Moi opened up with rather tasteless sets (there is only so much mindless looping one can endure), Nosaj's performance was definitely worth the wait. Nosaj's compositions are so intricate that it's hard to believe that he is able to justifiably replicate them live. Thus, the true marvel is witnessing Nosaj's live set; his physical stage presence in combination with his improvisational techniques renders the crowd awestruck and malleable to his musical will. That said, the ending of his set was a bit abrupt, but he made up for it by playing a rendition of Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice."
