Crowd Shot



What a fucking night this one was! Only on the biggest Fuzz! event of the year, does the night start with a power outage. The only block in the city of Pittsburgh with no power had to be the one where our venue resides. Thankfully Duquesne Light got shit back on by 11pm, and the festivities began as scheduled. The Fuzz crew really outdid themselves this time around, by securing the most ridiculous soundsystem that I've had the pleasure to listen to. This setup was fucking mean! Bottles in the cooler were shaking, old school aluminum cigarette ads were rattling, and bass vibrations could be felt from front to back. Kicking off the night were Fuzz residents JTS and Sean Kirby, warming things up with a nice selection of liquid funk and dubwise rollers, providing the perfect setup for the man of the evening, LTJ Bukem and parter MC Conrad. Its a rare occasion to check an act this renowned in the intimate, 100 capacity venue, that is our beloved BBT, so heads were definitely out in full, and the Progession Sessions surely pleased all in attendance. Playing a smooth selection of slick rollers, LTJ kept it moving with soulful tunes that still remained focused on the dancefloor, it was good to see LTJ playing all dubplates and vinyl, as most DJs of his stature have left that behind. Conrad kept the crowd hyped and at moments had lighters in the air, and calling for the tasteful rewind every now and then. All in all, the night was banger and was nearly pulled off without a hitch. Big ups to the Fuzz crew for stepping up and getting this done.
