Operation Karma has been and gone, and so here are a few of the videos from the event. It’s taking me a long while to upload them all, so for the time being I’ve focused on the freeform DJs.
Anyway, first up is DJ MT, who followed Dairin’s hard house with uplifting freeform. The first half of the set was very much UK style, but things got darker/harder as it went on and finished with the Karma anthems of Operation Stardust and Ephexis’ Quantum Fury (both slightly edited by MT himself). Here he is playing Epyx & Cyrez’s Heroes for Sale.
Check the rest of the post for videos from Kaz-B and KA-NA.
Kaz-B really surprised me with a great NRG-led set, as I was thinking that dark psy/gabber was pretty much all he played. Instead he started off with a festival of Guld tracks, there must have been 5 or 6 in a row. Starting off with Requiem, he also played Hannya X, Final Revenger and I See The Things That You Don’t See. Other than the occasional slip off the beat when mixing, the crowd loved it, and he followed it up with some gabber classics from Tokyo Hardcore Construction. Check this video where he plays Final Revenger and Hannya X, while Dairin breaks out the crazy glowchains for an amazing perfomance.
Finally for now is KA-NA, and I tried to take a longer video to show how her sets usually develop. As usual it was Finnish/Japanese only, and the set flowed really well. Amazingly, we were talking a few minutes before she was due to start, and she said she didn’t have a clue what she was going to play…
In the end she started with Horzi’s My Serenity remix, a brave choice that worked incredibly well. After that there were both old and new tunes – in the video above you’ll hear Pain on Creation’s Adaption and Polar Energy from Epyx & Cyrez, but there were also tunes like Ashurnishishi, Crank Cleopatra, Kadotettu Todellisuus, as well as Betwixt & Between’s Reincarnation to finish.
