A review of Borgore’s show at The Granada.
The electronic music and dubstep scene has slowly become overpopulated with similar sounds, and repeated rhythms. What was once new and unexplored territory has become a set algorithm: intro, drop, etc. all at 140 bpm. That’s why when a new, genre breaking artist comes through people listen. Borgore has done exactly this. His album #NEWGOREORDER, released earlier this year, is a combination of bass, rap, and a party that everyone is invited to.
Needless to say when Borgore comes to the stage, he takes his party attitude and turns up the whole room. Thursday night at The Granada was a party you didn’t want to miss. With opening acts from TRiLL FERRELL, sTrap Back, Chilling Spree & DJ Savy the show started early, escalating when Borgore hit the stage. Accompanied by outrageous imagery projected behind him, Borgore started strong and carried the energy throughout the whole concert. It was an electronic concert unlike any I have seen before. He combined his incredible DJ skills, and wasn’t afraid to rap and sing to his songs live.
Borgore made sure everyone was having the best night possible, even inviting any girls who wanted to on stage at one point. His set ended around midnight, however he stayed later to talk with fans, sign autographs, and take photos. Not only was Borgore one of the most energetic and party inducing performers I have seen, but he was also a very genuine and friendly person to fans after the show. If you didn’t get a chance to see him at The Granada, definitely try and make it to one of his shows. You won’t regret it.
