MDBP 2010 - Philadelphia

by Paul Devro August 03, 2010 | 6:53 PM

Holy Crap, This year's Philly Block Party ( the first of 4 ) surpassed everyone's expectations in fun, music and sheer number of people who came.  It was full of friends and strangers of all ages, races and places joining together, having the best time of their life.  The lineup was family of ours and everyone was in top form - Brendan Bringem, Dirty South Joe & Flufftronix (Luvstep Live), Brick Bandits crew, Paul Devro & DJA, Maluca, Bosco Delrey, PO PO, DJ Sega, Nadastrom, Diplo & The Deathset! Couldnt find all the pics right now but what we did find comes pretty close -


(Jasper's note: Paul & DJA killed for like an hour but Paul would never say that. Diplo didn't want to play after)

Maluca was really hungry for the crowd.


Bosco Delrey had a tough act to follow and he put on the best set we've ever seen from him, even busting his lips on the microphone.


PO PO came out next and had the best back & forth with the crowd - home team!

Dj Sega's performance was srsly epic! plus he had the biggest blunt anybody's ever seen.

Nadastrom was next & destroyed the block party for the third year in a row (shout to veganmaster Cullen Stalin w/t the video).

There was a riot on the stage for Diplo's set, he's in here somewhere.   After mistakingly slamming 5 caffiene, taurine etc etc filled energy orange juices I guess i started MCing about how much i loved everyone.  I swear i wasn't on drugs, but i did have a bunch of vodka n cranberries. 

The Death Set closed it out in great style!!!!!  and the crowd was the best on earth. 

One of the highlights was the epic return of Elmo. 

Here, DJA follows him from the VIP to the stage


Everyone was really careful with these little kids' first crowdsurf.

August 04, 2010 | 11:39 PM Posted by: WTF This is such fucking bullshit, thanks for shitting on your nyc fans by not showing up to the block party diplo. Learn how to book your dates dude. Extemely mad is an understatement. There isn't even a goddamn headliner for NYC, the biggest city on earth. I think it deserves a little more attention IMHO
August 05, 2010 | 12:42 AM Posted by: :-( i mean i'm disappointed like y'all that there is no d!plo, but seriously dudez??? if you look at the lineup and don't think that all of the people on the nyc bill are going to murder it you are playing yourselves. how is mad decent shitting on us by giving us a free show, food, and drinks, and something to do on a saturday when we'd otherwise be playing playstation in our mom's basement and eating rice-a-roni? it's like you are being given a ferrari for free and now you're complainin because you wanted a better soundsystem be a little more grateful dudes :-/ or buy a ticket for HARD LA - B-) or stay in your momma basement on Sat. and eat rice-a-roni!
