LOCUS DRUM AND BASS FESTIVAL, INDONESIA
A personal moment from Smokey’s performance at Locus Drum & Bass Festival in Bali, capturing the energy and emotion of a set that brought together two deeply connected sides of her musical identity. Blending her love for Indian classical music and Hindi sounds with the intensity and rhythm of Drum & Bass, Smokey created a set that reflected her distinctive approach to cultural fusion and electronic music. Recorded live on an iPhone, this raw recording preserves the atmosphere of the moment as it unfolded, capturing the connection between the artist and the audience despite its limitations in audio and visual quality. For Smokey, the performance was a deeply meaningful experience, made even more memorable by the response of the audience and the energy that continued throughout the set. The performance represents Smokey’s continuing exploration of Indian musical heritage within contemporary bass music, bringing traditional sounds, familiar voices and Drum & Bass together in a way that is personal, experimental and rooted in her own artistic language.
