Eptic - EDC Orlando Virtual Rave-A-Thon
There is something inherently hilarious about a DJ dropping face-melting, aggressive bass music to an entirely empty green-screen room. Watching a man furiously headbang and throw up the rock horns to a literal camera lens while a virtual EDC crowd is rendered behind him is peak pandemic comedy. But honestly, if you were sitting in your bedroom drinking warm beer, this was the exact kind of obnoxious energy you needed to feel alive. Examining the Eptic EDC Orlando Virtual Rave-A-Thon tracklist is like looking at a sonic weapon.
Labeled under Techno but acting like a feral bass hybrid, the set averages a frantic 143.3 BPM, anchored in the 12A key. Eptic's mixing style is exactly what you'd expect: fast, abrasive, and built entirely around neck-snapping drops and aggressive mid-range frequencies. The track selection for this Eptic live set is a relentless barrage of festival anthems. He throws in What So Not's "Divide & Conquer" and absolutely obliterates the digital dancefloor with his own Valentino Khan and Lil Jon collaboration, "Bloodbath".
The journey is short, sharp, and violent. Starting with an ominous "Unknown" opening track, he quickly escalates the madness, bizarrely peaking with a five-minute spin of Drake's "Started From the Bottom". After leaving the virtual ravers completely battered, he signs off the stream with his own track "Violence" as the closing track. Pure, unfiltered carnage.
