There was very little light at Mezzanine Saturday. The crowd, however, found their way toward the stage when English DJ Orlando Higginbottom, aka Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, crept onto stage while MPHD wrapped up his set. Ducking between light and shadows, he slowly took the reins of the tables. The segue was subtle, but the sound that eventually took over was distinctively TEED’s.

Dark seductive beats drew the crowd as if he were an electronic Pied Piper. They came with drinks and dates in hand, bodies shaking to TEED’s sinister sound. Thundering basslines and relentless electropop kept the party crowd going until late into the night.

Though TEED could barely be seen through the shadows and fog, the occasional cell phone flash confirmed that the booty shaking master was hard at play. Judging by the euphoric looks on the Mezzanine crowd, TEED wasn’t the only one having a good time.
