Last week I saw DJ Snake play at Lizard Lounge here in Dallas. When I first heard about the concert, I had no clue who DJ Snake was, but almost any college student should be able to recognize his song with rap star Lil Jon, "Turn Down For What." After looking further into it, I realized I knew a couple of his songs, including "Bird Machine."
The show started at 9 PM and I got to the venue around 10:15 PM. The first opener, a DJ named Johnny Funk, was still playing, and he was very good. The next performer, however, was a DJ called "The Hi-Yahs." He was fantastic. Unfortunately, his computer broke right before his set, so he had to play his songs off of a USB flash drive rather than play them live, but his music was still great. He performed for about 2 hours and got the crowd incredibly pumped up for DJ Snake to come on.
Once The Hi-Ya's were done, DJ Snake finally stepped onto the stage. In all honestly, his appearance and demeanor made him look and seem like a complete d-bag...his music was good, and he played a couple good new songs for us, but he definitely had an ego that was bigger than his music, and I think the two performers before him were better than he.
Listen to some of their songs below:
