Tom Misch
On the second night of the festival, Coalition nightclub upon Brighton seafront was starting to fill up with people ready to witness the twenty-year old producer/DJ/guitarist/composer prodigy that is Tom Misch.
The exciting buzz of the venue increased the crowd’s
anticipation to hear the fresh sounds of jazzy guitar improv and dreamy
melodies being grounded by hip-hop beats. Misch graced the stage alongside his violinist
and drummer, guitar in hand and kicked off the set list with instrumental track
‘Home’ from his album ‘Beat Tape 2’, released in August last year. Everyone
struggled to stand still to the sleek beats and guitar solos that continued to
impress the audience. In awe of how effortlessly his fingers moved around the
fret board, he received an abundance of cheering and took them gratefully, clearly
appreciative of the positive reception. Having collaborated with other fellow
new artists, it was an extra treat for the crowd as he brought singer Carmody
and virtuoso rapper Loyle Carner on stage to join him for tracks ‘Release Me’, and
‘Nightgowns’. A premiere of his new single ‘Watch Me Dance’ also featured on
the set list and didn’t disappoint as it provided the catchy chorus’, smooth
guitar chords and carefree beats that Misch is known for. The 45-minute set was
a definite highlight of my weekend and I couldn’t help but leave with a feeling
of inadequacy having seen someone of the same age showcase talent like he did.
