Electric Zoo 2012 Day 3 Review

As we woke up in the morning our legs were tired, minds blown, and ears sore from wearing plugs for two day straight, yet the sounds of NYC street traffic weren’t going to let us go back to sleep, nor would our excitement.  We were blessed with a 3rd Day of Electric Zoo Review, the last and final to party with our new NYC friends we met at the festival.  Not only was the festival fleeting, but so was summer.  After all Labor Day weekend marks the culmination of summer.

Days 1 and 2 the Zoo spoiled us with deep emotional sets of Above & Beyond, grungy dark energetic sets of Nadastrom, and everything in between.  The range of music on display at the festival was dynamic, impressive, and satisfied a vast group of electronic dance music fans.  However, Day 3 wasn’t going to be overshadowed by any means.  Electric Zoo built their day 3 lineup to go out with a bang.

On the bill for EDMBoston was Eliot Lipp, Paper Diamond, W&W, Dash Berlin, Porter Robinson, Knife Party, Dev, Tiesto, Diplo, and Skrillex.
 

Eliot Lipp

Eliot Lipp opened up the day at the Riverside tent with his chill experimental sounds.  He balanced his set in between his unique jazz house influenced sounds and hip-hop induced beats before giving way to Dubstep to finish out his set.  It was a challenging atmosphere for the artist because he was the first set of the day.  When an artist is charged with opening up a festival he has to deal with people peaking in and out of tents and often only has seconds to pull someone in.  Lipp successfully transitioned in and out of varied sounds to successfully build an intimate crowd and keep them engrossed.

Eliot Lipp passed the keys to the Riverside Tent to fellow up-and-comer Paper Diamond.  Paper Diamond continued the flow of dubby hip-hop inspired beats that Eliott Lipp left off with.  However, technical problems troubled the artist early in his set. As the music completely cut out on him at one point, he took to the mic and said, “Bear with us two minutes while we figure this out.”  Fortunately, everything was back up and running immediately and he hit the crowd with some fresh dub.  He worked the crowd well striking up hands in the air clapping.  When Paper Diamond hit the crowd with Delta Heavy’s Remix of “Must be the Feeling” it took control of the tent and Paper Diamond carried the energy with more Dubstep inspired tunes.
 

Paper Diamond

Mid-afternoon we transitioned out of the Riverside Tent and made our way to the goliath Main Stage, but not before snacking on some tasty grass feed beef meatballs.  Yes, you read that right: gourmet meatballs at a festival.  In fact they were some of the best meatballs we’ve had and there are yelpers on our team.  They hit the spot and satiated us for the remaining part of the afternoon, which is always clutch at a festival because all too often we forget to eat and wane at the end of the day.

W&W was the first set we captured at the Main Stage.  They gave the Main Stage its first signs of life with their unique blend of Trance and house, which people are calling ‘Trouse.’  One of our favorite parts of the set came when they played a triple stack of their own tracks: “Shotgun”, “Moscow” and “Invasion(ASOT 550 Anthem).”  We weren’t the only ones to take notice, as the dense sea of hands in the air paid respect to W&W’s anthems.

W&W

Dash Berlin was next up on the Main Stage and this was the first time we were seeing him live.  However, his set time before sundown took away from the energy of his trance music.  As a result, he had trouble keeping the crowd’s attention.  He feverishly ran back and forth on stage trying to pump up the crowd.  He threw free waters out and even held an IPad above his head that read “Make Some Noise”.  I don’t think we’ve ever seen someone try to pump the crowd up more, other than Steve Aoki.  His music was excellent but EDMBoston felt an evening slot would have really pumped up the Dash Berlin show.
 

Dash Berlin

Fortunately as the young phenom Porter Robinson took the stage the sun peaked out for the first time of the day.  While it was hard to decipher if the sun or Porter Robinson shifted the crowds energy, there was clearly a shift.  Everyone came alive because Porter’s high energy set wasn’t going to let anyone sit back.  His sweet mixings of complextro drops with progressive lullaby buildups were dynamic and artistic.  His set was unique and varied from the other artists of the festival, and as such it felt fresh.
 

Porter Robinson

“He’s amazing, HE’S AMAZING!” Screamed out Sarah Mcnutt at which time Porter proceeded to play the hook line “My name is Porter Robinson and I’m never ever going to release this track” to his track “Peace.”  Other highlights from his set were his mashup of Robyn S “Show Me Love” with Zedd’s Shotgun and Darth & Vader’s “Return of the Jedi”.  Porter also freshened up Nari & Milani’s “Atom” and replaced the drop with Gesaffelstein’s “Variation.”  One of our favorite parts of Porter’s set was he kept us guessing and wasn’t afraid to swap tracks in and out with little notice.  One second he’s playing Deadmau5’ “Strobe” and then transitiosn into “Some Chords” mixed with “Moar Ghsts N Staff (hard intro version mix).”

Porter earned the hype that surrounds his name in his Electric Zoo Main Stage set and renewed our excitement to follow this extremely talented young artist.

As the day wore on at the Main Stage the energy continued to surge.  Knife Party harnessed the crowd’s energy from Porter’s set like the alien warship in Independence Day, and then released the subatomic energy onto the crowd causing devastation.  Moments prior a fan said to us, “Wait till Knife Party gets on stage, this place is going to be mayhem”.  Indeed it was.  The hard drops and their aggressive Dubstep/Electro sound warped the most innocent PLUR baby into a raging maniac, bouncing and contorting their body into deep emotional poses not seen since the days of hard grunge.
 

Knife Party

When Knife Party stopped the madness with their final track, the sun had begun setting and we were getting squeamish.  There only about 3 hours left of 2012 Electric Zoo and we were experiencing one of our best highlights of the summer.
 

Tiesto

Tiesto would be our last Main Stage act before transitioning to our headliner of choice for Day 3.  Tiesto’s set was very vanilla.  He played a safe set composed of clublife material filled it out with a lot of mashups from other artists.  He was technically sound as always but where he stands today, leaves you scratching your head and questioning why he gets paid this much for playing a set that almost any other artist at the festival could replicate with ease?  It was disappointing to say the least.  We will say, his opening with “Chasing Summers” with smoke pumping in and the sun down was euphoric.

The winner from Day 3 was non other then Diplo.  He packed in the largest crowd we’d seen all weekend at the Riverside Tent.  When we walked around the back to take a photo, people were lined up 10 rows deep outside the tent on all sides.  Diplo kept the crowd engrossed for the full hour and twenty minute set.  The set was complete with visual, auditory, and emotional depth.  He had special 3D visuals going on all the LCD screens, and he interacted with the crowd frequently throughout his set.  In addition Diplo played a set packed with Trap, Moombahton, Hip-hop, Dubstep, and Progressive House.  Diplo kept us guessing during his set and remained unpredictable throughout the set.

Diplo

One of the wildest points in Diplo’s set was when he played House of Pain’s “Jump Around.”  It came in the last quarter of the set and morphed the energy in the tent  over the edge.  It had people going out of their minds.  At one point during the track someone even jumped the barricade and got on stage and did a backflip!

And just like the backflip Electric Zoo was over before we even could wrap our arms around it!  We had a fantastic 3 days in the Zoo and were very impressed with the festival.  The focus of this festival was most certainly on user experience and enjoying quality music, and for that we can definitely say we will be back next year!

We’d like to personally THANK the Made team and Plexi PR for putting on such a fantastic festival!

Bingo Players, Electric Zoo Performance Explained from Their Eyes

Our route to New York City was not your average one; from our home in Holland we jetted over to Mexico City to a show, then one day later we were in Las Vegas DJ'ing one the best pool parties of the summer. Finally, 48 epic hours later, we found ourselves en route to Electric Zoo -- our plane touched down in Newark at 7 a.m. Saturday morning.

After three and a half hours of sleep we were off to Electric Zoo, in our 15-passenger van with our crew -- ready to play. Once we arrived on Randall's Island we had a quick meeting with our management team to share some of our new tracks that we would showcase later in our set. After the meeting we spent some time talking to our fellow DJ's in the artists lounge alongside the East River.

One short hour later, we took the Main Stage to play for a massive crowd! When we were on the stage, you saw us perform, we saw you in the crowd, but could you tell what we were thinking?

Festivals are a time for us to see...

Electric Zoo Day 2

continued from Day 1 review




Day 2 saw things at the jungle heat up to extreme highs. While the temperature was technically cooler on the thermometer at the zoo on Saturday, a mass influx of new animals left the tents and main-stage feeling hot!

The first act to get things started on Saturday for EDMBoston was Vermont native Morgan Page.  Notorious for his fresh, hard hitting progressive house sets, Morgan Page brings a lot of energy to his sets.  When he visited Boston back in December 2011 he left EDMBoston very impressed with his club performance.  What would he be like in a festival setting?

Charged with entertaining the Hilltop tent, the largest of the 3 tents, for 1.25 hours, Page had his work cut out for him.

The great thing about the Hilltop tent was the fantastic job the sound team did spreading speakers throughout the tent.  By having speakers staggered around the perimeter, and down the middle of the ceiling, it prevented sound from leaking in from the other tents.  Not to be outdone, the visual team also put together a hell of a display.  Words can’t describe it so we put a picture below:

Given the tremendous effort put into display and sound, Page didn’t let it go unutilized.  Immediately Page pulled in a large crowd into the tent, which for an early set time it was an amazing feat in and of itself.  He wasted no time in getting the crowd fired up with his self made bootleg “Video Bong”.  Page started off hard hitting and aggressive for early in the day, yet we loved every second of it.  Hands in the air with meaty progressive drops carried throughout the set that featured lots of Morgan page bootlegs, mashups and originals.  His way with progressive house keeps the tiresome genre interesting and fresh.  A big reaction came when Morgan played a mashup of his hit tune “Body Work” with Swanky Tunes’ “The Edge”.  In addition, Page played some trickery on the crowd with his Mashup of IN the air vs Avicii’s “Levels”. Before you judge, Page took a quarter note from the famous track and injected it into “In the Air” just to mess with the crowd a little.  It was genius and funny and didn’t interrupt the flow of the track.   It was great to see an artist with some life and sass on stage.

Pretty Lights Electric Zoo 2012 Review

By Shikhar

Even though Pretty Lights is playing at the Garden in Boston for Halloween, it was not enough to keep me from seeing his complete set at Zoo (it’s just a good rule of thumb most people should follow: Nighttime + festival closing + Pretty lights =  DO NOT MISS, well maybe for Daft Punk).

The main stage was nowhere close to empty yet not so packed that you could not move a muscle.  The perfect formula for what I like best. I decided to observe the opening of the set from the grass right outside of main stage and soaked in his awesome setup in its entirety. Pretty Lights slowed the entire momentum down to that of hip hop and hit the crowd hard with his vocal samplers combined with rough hard hitting tones.

Let me take this space to just mention my growing admiration for Pretty Lights fans, people who love pretty lights are fanatically in love with him and that passion just oozes out on the floor when Pretty Lights, aka Derek Vincent Smith, takes the stage.

When he dropped Total Fascination the crowd’s reaction was priceless, it literally looked as if a 10,000 volt current ran through the veins of every single person in attendance. No one bothered to remember how tired they were at 10pm after raging since 1pm, everyone just jumped, twisted, and gyrated their body to the beats and sang along. The only thing that was equally good as the music Derek was spitting out, was the crazy light show going on. Instead of the regular strobes and led’s shooting at the crowd, Pretty Lights was wowing audiences with his signature shapes and views of cities, skyscrapers and lasers, which formed a cloud over the crowd.

He kept going for the majority of the hour non-stop with other hits that included ‘still night’ and ‘finally moving’ with occasional shout outs to New York and Electric Zoo. However, the best part of the night was at the very end when he just stopped the music and had a heart to heart with the fans.  Derek asked every one if he should hit the Zoo with another song and boy did he HIT them with a song. Music cuts back in with the intro to ‘I know the truth’ and the entire crowd, with yours truly included, literally lost their mind. Everyone sang along to the vocals and that howl before the drop was one of the loudest I’ve heard live in person at a show.

The show was everything I had imagined a perfect Pretty Lights would be like, now I am pumped to see him again in Boston!

Luciano Electric Zoo 2012 Set Builds Ibiza like Energy

By Shikhar S.

The Sunday school stage at Electric Zoo is always a big draw for me because of the chill vibe that it brings to the festival and the non-conventional artists that one gets to see at that stage that you’d be hard pressed to find playing in the US, any other time of the year. Luciano took the headlining spot at the Sunday school on day 1 of electric zoo and man he did not disappoint.

After getting a jump start from Tommy Trash’s adrenaline pumping sound, I moved over to Mat Zo who was dropping an incredibly trippy and hard hitting trance set at the Hilltop stage and slowly edged my way over to Luciano at the Sunday school.

The lower attendance on Friday combined with...

Electric Zoo Review: Day 1 In-depth & Comprehensive

The unofficial closing party for summer, Electric Zoo, quickly snuck up on us this past weekend. While it was a festival we were looking forward to all summer, we sadly knew what it meant when it came; summer would be over. Nevertheless, it was an opportunity to go out with a bang. Would this festival leave EDMBoston looking back on the summer and missing it or leave us distracted with a memorable festival experience??  

Electric Zoo is a three-day festival, which takes place in New York City's Randall’s Island park.  Tucked away in the east river, Randall’s Island is a public park offering an incredibly expansive space for a large festival.  On one side of the park is the picturesque east river and opposite sits the Icahn stadium.  Electric  Zoo 2012 would be the fourth edition of the festival and the lineup would see 108 artists, of varying sub-genres of Electronic Dance Music, play across four stages.  From marquee names to up and comers, the lineup offered any EDM lover a fantastic musical experience.  With any lineup as big as Electric Zoo’s, it’s always difficult to make decisions on who to see.  Nevertheless, we carefully mapped out whom we wanted to see.  Decisions were made between Diplo or Skrillex or Bloody Beetroots? Above & Beyond or Benny Bennassi or Chris Liebing? A-track or Above & Beyond? As you can see it was no easy task.

EDMBoston’s festival experience kicked off traveling to the festival via NYC notorious subway.  One of the best experiences of Electric Zoo is that you get to enjoy the bounty MYC has to offer while running amuck with your fellow ravers.  Given that 110,000 people attended the festival, you can imagine the amount of people sprinkled across every subway in the city and it made for great times.  PLUR screamed through the city, as people dressed up donning the sexiest neon and E-Zoo wristbands.  This made for making friends on the way to the festival more then easy and we met a bunch of phenomenal people.  The friendly banter on the subway got us in the mood early and cheers on the bus ride to Randall’s Island only heightened the excitement. By the time we got off the bus we wanted to run in.

From a logistics standpoint the bus setup worked wonderfully, as it took only 20 minutes from boarding the bus to the time it dropped us off.  The best part  was that the bus acts as a natural buffer in preventing ridiculous queues at the festival grounds entrance  - i.e. EDCNY Saturday 1-hour wait times.

When we unloaded from the bus we were met with effortless entry from 1pm-3pm.  Inside we were greeted with the E-Zoo Garden.  The garden was perched on a slight hill looking above the festival grounds.  On the hill scores of people were spread about enjoying the beautiful 92 degree day. Amongst the people were Electric Zoo animal decorations scattered about.  Neon deer and neon flowered trees embellished what would have been a plain park.  At night the trees would come alive with neon Christmas lights.

The first day we had Nadastrom, Gabriel & Dresden, Jack Beats,  Luciano, and A-track lined up, in respective order, to party with. Nadastrom broke our Electric Zoo seal at the fools gold sponsored riverside tent.  When we entered the tent we were greeted with something unexpected for a small tent.  A massive rectangle lcd screen wall covered the facade of the entire stage, with the dj booth inset behind it.  The omnipresent screen left us guessing as to what we'd see at the other tents and stages.


Behind the impressive display, Nadastrom laid down their signature hip-swinging, sexy, gorilla moombahton.  We describe it as such because the moombah sound, similar to the tempo of reggaeton, created by Dave Nada, makes your hips swing like the sexiest of salsa or reggaeton beats would.  Just when you’re feeling the beat in your hips the bass drops making you want to jump like a gorilla.  The set was righteous and pushed hard when it needed to and gave us time to breathe when it was also needed.  The drop in Bailey Smalls – Baby, I love you (Jay Fay remix) hit hard and got us gorilla bouncing.  

Nadastrom - photo: Jordan Loyd

The slow bass of the very next song D Rakkas - Gangsta Revival(JWLS remix) greeted us next and we lost our souls when the moombah drop came down.  The combination of the dirty slow bass and the event staff misting the air with water, made us feel like the happiest of gorilla’s in the jungle of the Electric Zoo.  Other notable moments in Nadastrom’s set were their ability to engage the crowd with a hands in the air clap to the dirty beat of Diplo’s Express Yourself and their ability to speed up the tempo at the end of the set and bring it back.

Gabriel & Dreden - photo: Bennett Sell-Kline

In our opinion, Nadastrom was one of the most underrated sets of the weekend, as not many people spoke of it.

Next up on our plate was a short 30 second walk to the Hilltip tent that was hosting Group Therapy on Friday.  Performing was Gabriel & Dresden.  This was possibly the only let down set of the festival.  After riding a moombah groove we thought surfing a trance high would be perfect. However, we just weren’t feeling it.  Within the first 30 minutes we found their set choppy from song to song and not the trance vibe we were looking for. In hindsight listening to the siriusXM broadcast the set sounded pleasant but at the time of the festival we left because back at riverside was Sir Dillon Francis.

The comical social media icon/genius DJ, Dillon Francis put on a clinic that had us out of our slouch in no time.  His set kept us guessing, entertained, and wowed at his skill.  We hadn't seen Dillon before and finally understood the fanfare behind not only him but his DJ skills.  Behind that cartoonish image is a serious artist, which will face-melt you with an array of music from moombahton to twisted electro all in his unique style.  He effortlessly weaved his way out of song samples, never playing one at length.  Part ADD part talent made this set work and the energy in the tent blow most other sets away.  We only wish we had been there from the start.  Like monkeys playing in tree to tree, or in this instance track to track, Dillon had us losing it to his remixes of “Money Making” “Whose ready to Jump” and “Masterblaster”.  Masterblaster was slowed down to like 100BPM and had a grime factor of 10.  Like any good class clown, Dillon saved one last antic for his last track.  He played a slow tempo remix of Vengaboys “We like to party” before mixing into his remix of Control Freak.

Jack Beats credit: Scott Kowalchyk

Jack beats kept the party rolling at Foolsgold Riverside tent. Unfortunately, they weren’t  able to keep us nor the crowd for very long.  Francis set pumped the energy level so high, that it was almost impossible for jack beats to keep it going.  They got off, strong carrying the energy in the crowd, but it dissipated in no time.  While the Jack Beats set was fun to listen to, it was on the awkward side, as the track selection failed to connect with the crowd.  An example of this was when they played Skrillex featuring the Doors collaboration of “Breakin a Sweat”.

After 40 minutes or so at Jack Beats we ventured off to see what the food situation was at the Zoo.  While nothing was more impressive then the music at the festival, the food came desperately close.  Like Deirdre said in her E-Zoo piece, this festival has some serious food vendors.  You won’t find run of the mill stadium food here.  Instead there was gourmet meatball vender, Korean food, grass fed beef burgers, wood oven pizza, asian chicken kabobs were just a few to choose from.  It was piece of mind to have some wholesome food and pay the standard prices you would for other crappy stadium food.  A big shoot out to Bob & Joe Kebabs.  They were wicked tasty and the perfect protein to keep us fueled for the festival, not to mention simple to eat.

With our bellies full, it was time to close out day 1!  We had chosen to see the first part of Luciano’s set at the Sunday School tent before moving to the Hilltop tent to see Above & Beyond close out group therapy.  The Sunday school tent had a noticeably different vibe in part due to the music.  Everyone was subdued and chill grooving to the technical sound Luciano was laying out.  It was a fantastic atmosphere that only came to light because of Luciano’s fabulous work in the booth.

For in depth coverage of Luciano Electric Zoo 2012 set, read Shikhar's review here.

However, the highlight of Friday was Above and Beyond! We made the calculated decision to skip pretty lights and we safely say it paid off, even after hearing what a cool performance Derek put on.  Above & Beyond’s ability to connect with your soul and sweep you away to another world is unparalleled.  They built a fantastic journey and took us through some powerful peaks and valleys, like a complex drama.  The drama would only be heightened by the omnipresent LCD display in the hilltop tent.  Pictured below you can see the massive screens contorted and arranged to form something very unique to Electric Zoo.

Above & Beyond’s Friday nights drama would conclude in a dedication to the late Neil Armstrong.  If you haven’t seen A&B, they use a computer to type messages up on the LCD screen behind them.  For the Neil Armstrong dedication the following messages were displayed in order:

"This country made a promise"

"Made by a Murdered President"

"To Put a Man On The Moon"

"Neil Armstrong was that Man"

Everyone gave a loud cheer of celebration and just like that night 1 had concluded at the Zoo at the Hilltop tent.

Nevertheless, over at the main stage Pretty Lights was closing down Day 1 of the festival. Read an indepth review of Pretty Lights Electric Zoo Day 1 set here.

Day 1 came to an end and the animals returned to their caves only for a brief rest before returning for more action the next day.

Zoo Approaches; Animals are Stirring

(Examiner) When the sun rises on Friday, it will shine upon the festival grounds of Randall’s Island, New York – a little island in the East River that has played host to Cirque Du Soleil, Governors Ball, Dave Matthews Band and other summer arts festivals and concert series. Recently though – it has become globally known as the venue of the one of the nation’s most popular electronic music festivals – Electric Zoo.
