In 2011, at the height of acclaim following Based on a True Story (2010), New Zealand reggae band Fat Freddy's Drop—from Wellington and pioneers of jam sessions fusing soul, funk, and dub—delivered a cult performance at Electronic Beats Festival, Deutsche Telekom's concert series, sharing a bill with Underworld and The Roots at Berlin's Postbahnhof, a historic hall on the site of an old East German rail station. The 90-minute jam, brimming with Cedric Mason's improvisational horns and bass lines, embodied their European breakthrough climax, where tropical grooves gained urban sweep, igniting euphoria among thousands in the industrial expanse.
