EDC Live - EDC Las Vegas 2016: TNT

Here come the aggressive shuffling squads, kicking up enough dust to choke a small horse. You can always spot the guys who won't stop talking about their gym routines, flexing in the desert heat while waiting for the bass to drop. It's absolute scenes, but checking out the 'TNT wasteLAND hosted by Basscon tracklist', you know exactly what kind of beautiful violence you're signing up for. The post-apocalyptic stage design is bathed in blinding flashes, perfectly matching the unapologetic, high-octane energy of the Vegas crowd.

Diving into this TNT live set, the technicals are basically a sustained heart attack, locked dead on 153.8 average BPM. Driving through the 12A and 4B Camelot keys, the Techno energy arc is just one massive, distorted peak after another. Their mixing style is explosive and abrupt, designed to maximize the impact of every single kick drum. The crate digging is pure hard dance royalty, pulling out massive anthems that make the floor shake.

Dropping 'Showtek, Technoboy, Tuneboy & TNT - Mellow' is an absolute crowd-pleaser, while 'Danny Deluxe - Devil' delivers that sinister, underground edge. The journey is completely unhinged, kicking off with a menacing 'Unknown - Unknown' opening track to set the tone. It absolutely obliterates the crowd with relentless distortion before finally letting them breathe. The closing track, 'Technoboy, Tuneboy & DJ Isaac - CTRL (Extended Version)', is a proper sorted finale that leaves the wasteLAND utterly destroyed.
