EDC Las Vegas 2022 - circuitGROUNDS Mix
The 2022 circuitGROUNDS mix is a perfect snapshot of that stage's identity: a vast, overwhelming arena where techno purity, tech-house swagger, and the occasional left-field bomb collide. It’s for those of us who post up at the rails, content to let the sonic earthquake of the PK Sound system do its work. The sound is a muscular blend of techno and house, with a BPM range that flexes from a head-nodding 125 up to a frantic 154, averaging a potent 132.
The harmonic glue is the ubiquitous 12A key, ensuring even the hardest transitions feel cohesive. The energy is masterfully low-end dominant (63.11% avg), creating a physical, chest-thumping experience that’s both punishing and addictive. Our Shazam fingers get a workout here: John Summit's 'HUMAN (Hibell Remix)' sets a dark, vocal-led tone, Boris Brejcha's 'Himmelblau' is a hypnotic, high-tech minimal weapon, and the inclusion of Belters Only's 'Make Me Feel Good (James Hype Remix)' is a playful, garage-inflected curveball.
The true crate dig is Pendulum's 'Louder Than Words (Luttrell Remix),' a stunning fusion of drum & bass emotion and techno framework. It opens with Summit's moody anthem, peaks with the relentless drive of 'Himmelblau,' and closes with the wobbly chaos of Subtronics' 'Tuba Demon.'.
