Graves came next and played a set that was full of unreal beats that he has concocted in his studio. Kicking things off for the evening was Kittens who got the crowd warmed up proper for the rest of the evening.

Sure, the bathrooms were sparse with long lines, and since it was an “all ages” show, those over the age of 21 were forced to a back room to have a drink, but everything else about the venue was actually pretty great. Walking in with zero expectations is how I try to approach every event and I was honestly left impressed, for the most part. The venue regularly hosted shows spanning a variety of genres in the past, but it has been fairly rare for me to see electronic acts booked there. I can count the number of times I’ve actually been to SOMA San Diego, the venue in which the show was moved to at the last-minute, on one hand.

That being said, I hope that in future shows that come to San Diego, the promoter does a better job of anticipating sales to put the show in the proper venue ahead of time. This was understandable as it was Thanksgiving Eve, there were other artists playing that night elsewhere, and he had two dates in LA that weekend. While no official reason was given, my best guess is that it was due to low ticket sales. This entire situation was something that left a bad taste for those who had bought tickets to the show early on, and actually pushed away those who were on the fence from attending.
The show was originally scheduled for Valley View Casino Center but was moved only days before to SOMA San Diego which is a far smaller venue next door.
While admittedly I’m not the biggest fan of trap music, over the years there have a been a few artists that I’ve developed a love for in the genre and one of them is the legendary RL Grime. When I saw that The Nova Tour would be hitting a wide array of cities including my hometown of San Diego, my ears perked up and I was definitely excited. “Stay For It” features the soaring future-trap hybrid sound seen on several of his previous releases, and utilizes the smooth and fluid vocals of Miguel to complete the wavy, sonic picture.Last minute venue changes aside, RL Grime left a lasting impression with an absolutely unreal set in San Diego. Your input and the way you engage with my music and performance has always driven me forward, and will be a vital part of what I do over the coming year.” - RL Grimeįollowing a season of single releases, RL Grime’s Nova Tour announcement arrived alongside a brand new collaboration with fellow L.A. So it won’t just be me setting the storyline. More than just an album, or a show, or a single narrative, I want the Nova project to create spaces where you can feel part of the process and support platforms for your own ideas, while allowing me to share mine too. “Nova will define and encompass every part of the RL Grime project over the coming years. Inside, it revealed a fresh schedule of 15 stops across North America under the Nova Tour banner, coming as a likely precursor to the DJ’s frequently teased sophomore album, set to release sometime in 2017. His most recent announcement was made through a newsletter mailed to select fans from around the globe. His most memorable singles, including “Core,” “Scylla,” “Tell Me” and “Because of U,” have cemented themselves as some of the most exciting tracks for crowds to witness at festivals and intimate club shows alike. Known worldwide for his genre-leading trap and future creations, Los Angeles native RL Grime has remained at the top of his respective game for years.
