Questlove and A-Trak at SXSW

This was a fun show last night in this building, which is normally a warehouse that sells used office furniture. I'm not a huge fan of A-Trak but his set was tight. I will say his subwoofers were so loud that the bass drowned out other frequencies in the music, especially in this reverby warehouse.
But the mix was perfect for Questlove, an amazingly knowledgable DJ who also plays drums for the Roots on a show we watch regularly, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Forget the fact he's on NBC every night, he's a straight up killer DJ who will force you to shake your ass by mixing genres and eras will making it seem like the songs were written to fit together.
