Simon Doty - DJ Set
You have to laugh at the club kids trying to Shazam unreleased tracks on the dancefloor while casually spilling a vodka cranberry on their expensive trainers. Just put the phone away and enjoy the groove, mate. Driving progressive house is pumping relentlessly through the legendary Coda. Reviewing the Simon Doty Coda tracklist, it is a masterclass in Rominimal and deep progressive tension. Averaging 126.5 BPM, the set spans a wide 122 to 164 BPM range as the energy ebbs and flows.
Utilizing 12A and 10B keys, Doty builds a deep, low-end focused sonic architecture. This Simon Doty live set is brimming with sophisticated club tools and anthems. Mike Griego's 'Solaris' in the Cid Inc. Remix is an absolute journey, while Tobu's 'Higher' injects a perfect dose of melodic euphoria. The progression of the night is flawlessly handled.
Setting a thick, atmospheric mood, the opening track 'Radiant Deep Beats' by House Beats gets the room warm. The absolute peak of the night arrives when Doty drops his own 'Open Air' with Liu Bei, sending hands straight to the ceiling. Bringing the lights up, the closing track 'Got a Feeling' by Josh Butler leaves the Toronto crowd completely satisfied.
