In two words: mind-blowing. After a formidable performance from Eskmo, who also showed off his sick silver high-tops and fancy footwork, gaining an inch of space closer to the stage before FlyingLo’s set was akin to signing a death warrant. With an all-new visual presentation and the upcoming release of Cosmogramma, there were many things that could have left the salivating crowd disappointed. FlyingLo mentioned that he wasn’t sure how Austin was going to react to his tunes since they don’t easily fit the mold of what’s expected for SX performing artists. This was something far beyond normal; it was phenomenal. With his hands in the air like a conductor summoning the bleeps and blurps from his decks, FlyingLo exuded confidence—and absolute joy. And the crowd was a surprising mix of card-carrying dubstep nerds and perhaps what we can call folks with “eclectic” tastes in music just looking for a good time. Surprisingly good, and the reaction seemed to impress FlyingLo himself as he thanked the crowd multiple times throughout the set and showed his gratitude by playing more. Don’t be fooled: this producer/DJ who was dropping Lil Wayne and Radiohead, knows full well what he is doing—he told the crowd to “tweet great things” and tweet they did.

@virmantas: hey smart guy. If you knew a damn about FlyLo, you’d know that he’s only done REMIXES of Lil Wayne. Hate Wayne or not, but FlyLo’s remixes are amazing. They haven’t actually worked together…get on your knowledge, or shut your mouth.
