The Greenwood Hotel, a legendary location for open air events, couldn’t have been a better location to host the first ever Kehakuma party outside of Space Ibiza.
On January the 1st, 2.500 electronic music aficionados attended one of Sydney’s most sought after events. The lineup was simply exquisite and never seen before in Sydney, ranging the whole spectrum of Kehakuma’s music policy. From Jef K’s deep house to Radio Slave’s techno, going through Seth Troxler’s own brand of house, a true musical journey was lived through the entire event. The doors opened at midday on a hot summer day with local Sam Roberts who after a nice warm up set gave the commands to Seth Troxler, the event’s heavy weight.
The Detroit native delivered an impressive set of house music that included some of Visionquest’s released material as well as old school blended sounds, all of them quality. After 2 hours of Troxler’s set and Matt Cahill’s performance, Parisian Jef K took over the commands. He possessed the audience with “Jack” himself: rough and groovy beats full of catchy vocals and the crowd followed with a huge smile jacking their bodies as the event deserved. Eddie Richards was next, London legend proved why he’s been at the forefront of electronic music for so many years and, as many people agreed, was the highlight of the night. A 2 hour set full of powerful beats. Playing after Eddie and keeping the high level of energy seemed a difficult task but UK and now Sydney’s underground player Gary Todd handled the situation perfectly. After more than 9 hours of partying the crowd seemed as hungry for beats as at the very beginning and, lucky enough, the event’s second heavy weight was not going to let them down: Rekids boss Radio Slave was on top of his game, his techno infused selection took the event to a whole other level as the moon was showing up. Last but not least, Kehakuma resident artist Remo, had the honor to close a party that will be for sure remembered. To close an event with such talented artists billed is not an easy task but Remo is no stranger to the game, he proved why he has a deserved place at Kehakuma every summer; his tech house set was the ice on the cake for the World’s premiere of Kehakuma’s international tour.
