Blood Orange’s set a festival highlight

Bun B, Banks, Blood Orange and, of course, Björk provided the musical story throughout Saturday’s edition of Day for Night.

The music and art festival worked through a few Friday night glitches and seemed to run relatively smooth on its second day.

The Björk Digital virtual reality attraction continued to be a big draw. It offered some stunning imagery, particularly during the “Family” and “Not Get” sequences. But the VR glasses often fogged up, and a few had to be regularly restarted.

Welcome to Houston is a consistently popular, raucously entertaining collective of Houston rappers that debuted during 2014’s Free Press Summer Fest. Every person in the crowd seemed to know the lyrics to every song.

Among the highlights: Lil Keke charging through “Southside;” a melodic set from Z-Ro; and Bun B, the unofficial mayor of Houston, leading the crowd through “Draped Up” and “International Players Anthem.”

Banks has the songs and strut of a pop diva. All that’s missing is some radio love. “This is Not About Us,” from current album “The Altar,” was a standout.

Blood Orange is the stage moniker for gifted pop and R&B songwriter and producer Dev Hynes. His set was one of the weekend’s most ebullient, full of gorgeous melodies, smart lyrics and elegant vocals from himself and a pair of backup singers.

Hynes draws from Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Prince on songs such as “Better Numb,” “Better Than Me” and “Chamakay.” His magic is taking those iconic influences and turning them into something wholly his own.

The party continues well into the night with sets by horror moviemaker John Carpenter, Houston rapper Fat Tony, Run the Jewels and Aphex Twin.
