Earlier this week we gave you our review of the Mad Decent Block Party as it touched down at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in the DMV area. But did you know that back in 2008, Philadelphia hosted the very first Mad Decent Block Party? Taking place on the basketball courts of 12th & Spring Garden, this free concert and barbecue was held in response to the growing popularity of the Roots Picnic. The event showcased new sounds and styles coming from the burgeoning Mad Decent label, featuring the likes of Dirty South Joe, DJ Sega, Nadastrom, Flosstradamus, and more. Fast forward to the present day and, besides the venue and production value, the party’s still going strong.
As an avid fan of Diplo and the empire he's built, conveniently called Mad Decent, I was excited to cover such an event for Daily Beat. Arriving at the venue, party goers dressed in ridiculous outfits (neon tank tops, snapbacks, unicorn heads, and telly-tubby suits) flocked the main stage of Merriweather Post Pavillion, where acts such as Anamanaguchi, Lunice, RiFF RAFF, SBTRKRT, and many others were set to perform. Let me take you readers on what I (and Lyle, our photographer) thought of the highlights at the Mad Decent Block Party 2013.
