Respect to the sound crews this year at Bass Coast!
Shout out to the sound crews at Bass Coast this year! This was my third Bass Coast and in my humble opinion it was the best sound I have experienced at the festival. Always been a big fan of PK Sound, and Somewhere, Slay Bay and Slow Tempo did not disappoint! Loved the new line arrays at Slay Bay- powerful and clear. You guys/gals absolutely melted my face off and re-arranged my internal organs during SATURNA's sunrise set. Holy crap batman, that was some real earth shaking shit. It was LOUD, and so...fucking...clean, WOW.
In previous years I was a little underwhelmed with the sound at the Cabin stage...I know the F1 rigs are infamous for sounding a little harsh unless carefully tuned and operated at the hands of a skilled engineer...don't know who was at the controls this year but the Cabin sound was balanced and powerful- Enjoyed it more than ever before.
Last but not least- huge respect to the FLORA SOUND crew, who provided a taste of what's possible with a small, custom built, bespoke system. You guys absolutely crushed it at the Nowhere stage, holding your own sandwiched between two commercial PA powerhouses at Slay Bay and Cabin. It was my first time hearing the JMOD's in person and I can understand why they are considered among the best in the DIY scene. The humble Cubo Kicks and Super Scoopers demonstrating that classic designs can sound amazing with modern music when built and tuned by skilled craftsmen and dedicated lovers-of-bass. Bravo!
