BORDERLANDS: PEAKING LIGHTS’ “DREAM BEAT”

MT. EDEN & TERRAVITA @ MIDDLE EAST DOWNSTAIRS
Like hardcore pornography and abstract impressionism, dubstep and drum n bass are two genres that are almost impossible to qualify on their own, but you know it when you see it. Hear it. Feel it.

And honestly, when you get into it, do we really need that many other ways to classify music other than “good” “less good” and “sucks?”
