Martin Solveig descended on Boston last Friday, December 2nd. It was Martin first visit to Boston in his professional DJ career, said the french man, when he took the stage. Solveig described the US as, "A crazy place".
Upon EDMBoston's arrival at Royale, you could tell it was a special night. There was a line that started early on outside. As we entered the venue, everyone was in a frenzy. It was a sold out show after all. Without much wait we came into the large ball room and was greated with a capacity crowd. Coat check line was basically the length of club. Bananas. After the EDM Boston team got settled in behind the house DJ booth, we were set to capture some of the best footage of Solveig on the net.
Martin Solveig, took the stage at approximately 11:46pm. He was dawned in his customary striped headband, french black leather jacket, and scarf. Solveig gave the crowd a big wave when he took the stage. Martin then promptly plugged in his SD cards and got himself set up. He striped of his jacket and scarf and waggled his arms and adjusted his shirt to settle in. Solveig, then reached for the search knobs on the cdj-2000s, and got to work to find his opening material. He greeted the crowd, french accent and all, "Good evening boston. Can you hear me?" and was greeted with a large roar from the crowd. He declared, "It is my first time here, I'm so EXCITED."
Would he play hello, his new track big in japan, ready 2 go, or some other artist track to open?? Martin choose the intro beat to Hello to greet the crowd and shouted over, "My name is Martin Solveig and I just came to say Hello!" The lyrics to the song then hit and fans screamed out. The Hello turned out to be a special Solveig intro cut that is unreleased. He looped the knock beat before the vocal and added a filter to cut to the breakdown of ready 2 go. He was on his way.
I have to say it was a pretty spectacular build up of energy. When the bass dropped on ready 2 go the crowd was fully involved. Hands in the air they screamed out "I'm ready 2 go!" Jumping, dancing, and all.
