Duke Dumont - EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon
Here is to the virtual ravers waving glowsticks at their webcams while their housemates deeply question their life choices from the kitchen. It is hard to look cool skanking in your socks, but we salute the effort. The digital neon pulse broadcasting from the EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon is a whole different kind of mainstage energy. Taking a look at the Duke Dumont EDC Las Vegas Virtual Rave-A-Thon tracklist, it is a masterclass in refined Rominimal pop-house crossover.
Locked tightly between 115 and 128 BPM, it hits a sweet spot average of 124.5 BPM. The set relies heavily on the 12A key to maintain an accessible, mid-range heavy groove. This Duke Dumont live set is packed with his signature massive vocal anthems. Dropping FKA twigs' 'Sushi' is a brilliant left-field choice amidst the big room energy, while 'Red Light Green Light' brings the pure club heat.
The journey is short but incredibly sweet. Following an unknown opening track, the groove locks in instantly. The absolute high point arrives with 'The Power', his monstrous collaboration with Zak Abel. To send the webcam warriors to bed, the closing track 'Ocean Drive' delivers that iconic, melancholic singalong finish.
