Liverpool-Live

'Climb on Board' was a suitable opener, if it were transport we would be climbing into a Bugatti Veyron that was parked in the back of Air Force One and destined for the sunny shores of Barbados. The crowd matched the noise levels of the loudest of engines when a smiling and dapper looking Labrinth eventually arrived on stage. Originally a producer, Labrinth was also late to arrive on music's frontline but he eventually took to the spotlight when he enjoyed immeasurable success with his and Tinie Tempah's projects. Still a dominant part of his career, he shared some of his finest producing moments during the night, plays of Ms. Dynamite's 'Neva Soft' and Tinie's 'Pass Out' showcasing different dimensions of his talent just to blow your mind even further south.

The energy in the room went way beyond anything a richter scale could measure (Sorry Mr. Tempah). Labrinth was grooving out 'Express Yourself' on stage, and the full capacity audience was doing just what the song orders. Not many artists have the ability to unite an audience and keep them completely engaged throughout but Labrinth had an understanding of the crowd, fresh enthusiasm for every single second and this pure energy bounced to the bars, off baldy heads, through the teenage boppers and straight back to the stage. The cycle was endless, the atmosphere amplified and the moshpits commenced.

Previewing some of the tracks that are to be on his debut album 'Electronic Earth', Labrinth's ambidexterity was incredible. He wasn't just singing or rapping his way through the set, he was performing, interacting, playing and going through one hell of a work out. Demonstrating some astounding guitar skills, Labrinth rocked out to one of his surpassing tracks 'Sweet Riot', a tremor of the speakers later and he had the crowd swaying to a beautiful acoustic, 'Vultures'. The release of Electronic Earth is set to be a forceful after shock.

Saving his two biggest singles to last didn't matter as even on the unknown, the music was so relevant and fresh everyone could instantly relate and react. Some particularly breathtaking moments did ensue as he closed his set however. 'Let the sunshine' might not have worked out outside, but inside lit eyes made up for the moon's intrusion. The moshpits were shaken up for one last time with the absolutely extraordinary 'Earthquake'. The room bounced, the hands flew, and the sweat poured - somewhat acceptable given the intensity of the unfolding extravaganza.

For the polished perfection of the Bugatti, and the energy and immensity of Air Force One, a Labrinth gig should be your tickets destination. Much cheaper, much better, and he'll even guarantee sunshine.
