Jack Beats kick off the inaugural Friday Flashback with the peak time slot in the Fractal Forest on the final night of Shambhala back in August 2009. The stage sits in a stump of an old tree in the middle of a forest with platforms and structures to wile out on 360 degrees around the stage. Jack Beats in a live setting puts you in a fierce undertow of sub-bass; making it hard to breath with immense pressure from an infinite amount of basslines pummeling you red tide style. I've heard people say drowning is a peaceful way to go... This set in the Fractal Forest was also home to the best quote I overheard at the Festival, "If Canada were psychedelics, i'd be traveling all Provinces." Apologies for the sound, although I do think it came out alright considering the walls of sound PK Sound brought to the table. Much thanks to all those involved and Big Up yourself Rich-e-Rich that place is fun.
