MARTIN SOLVEIG (HOUSE SET) in The Lab #SmirnoffHouse
at EDC Las Vegas
EDC Las Vegas is essentially a neon-soaked fever dream where the techno tourists are replaced by ravers dressed entirely in beads and LED shoelaces. The "finding themselves" at Tomorrowland crowd have migrated here, crying tears of joy over a standard build-up. It's absolute scenes of maximalist American rave culture, and you can't help but respect the sheer audacity of it. The vibe is a blinding spectacle of pyrotechnics and laser beams cutting through the thick desert night air.
This MARTIN SOLVEIG live set keeps the energy bouncing at a solid 126.1 BPM. Moving fluidly between 12A and 3B keys, he perfectly balances pop-sensibility with driving Rominimal house beats. The heavy low-end dominance ensures the massive festival soundsystem is utilized to its absolute limits. The MARTIN SOLVEIG EDC Las Vegas tracklist perfectly bridges the gap between underground and mainstage.
Slipping Chris Fortier's dub of Fade's "All I Got" next to Frits Wentink's "Child of the Universe" shows he hasn't forgotten his roots. He kicks things off with his own weapon, the opening track "Do It Right (feat. Tkay Maidza) [Club Mix]". The crowd completely loses the plot when OFFAIAH's "Trouble" drops, leading right into the massive, high-energy closing track, "Intoxicated".
