Last Friday I went to see Etienne De Crecy’s Live Beats N’ Cubes at the O2 Academy in Leeds. It was without a doubt one of the most impressive live performances I have ever seen. The music was expectedly brilliant, but what I wasn’t prepared for was The Cube itself.
The O2 Academy in Leeds is a great venue with a huge stage dominated entirely by The Cube - which was until Etienne’s set concealed by a curtain. When his set finally arrived at 01:00, the curtain was dropped and The Cube was revealed. The Cube is a giant structure standing 6 metres wide and 6 metres tall. It is made up of nine separate boxes which display an impressive light show that works in unison with the music De Crecy plays from his booth in the central Cube.
During DJ’s sets I have often gone to get a drink or braved the cold for a ciggie, but with Etienne’s Live Beats N’ Cubes I was rooted to the dance floor throughout. I strongly advise anyone who gets a chance to see Etienne De Crecy play Live from within his Cube to do so. You will not be disappointed.
