Global Dance Festival 2010 at Red Rocks Ampitheater
First of all I have to say, this is the third Global that I have been to and this year the Triad Dragons put the rest to shame. Tens of thousands of local and international fans came together for a night of complete and utter, electronic chaos. If you haven’t had a chance to experience Red Rocks Ampitheater try to make it to Global next year. The formation of “red rocks” is a naturally perfect venue for acoustics. The first day the bleachers were absolutely packed and the crowd went wild with camera flashes and screaming as the mushroom props started to inflate and Infected Mushroom took the stage. They were definitely feeling the energy, jumping off the risers on the stage, and the crowd was loving it. Rusko properly did some work on the speakers as he tore the upper stage to shreds with his filthy dubstep and he even went into a little dutch house when he played. I personally think he should have been on the main stage. Great performances by Pendulum with Mc Dino, Savoy, and Deadmau5 as well. The light setup was insane this year and I had the opportunity to meet the people with Laser Dreams from San Francisco. I believe he said each one of those lasers on the stage were 4 watts. The giant L.E.D. box was bad ass, it gave the whole stage a 3 dimensional feel the way they had it angled, not to mention whoever was running it had it synced perfectly to the music. Big ups to Ishe & Soleil, wish I could have been there to see you guys play but my flight was delayed and didnt get back to Denver until 8. Also big shout out to Cognition, T Rav and Nexus for the production upstairs sounded great and looked amazing too.
Day two was awesome as well I feel like the trance theme was a good fit for a second day of craziness. Jess, ATB, Kaskade, Paul Van Dyke, Trajikk and Dragon took everybody to another level on the mainstage but Steve Aoki and L.A. Riots brought the LA elecro hyphyness that i was looking for. Aoki was droppin’ all kinds of tracks that I knew including “I’m In The House” and one of my favorite remixes “Warp 1977.” Everyone was soooo hyped for him too. The security had to hold the front gate back because people were pushing it foward as he jumped around on the microphone and stood up on the dj booth! Huge thanks to Steve and Chris for the shout outs and I deffinitely expect you guys to start coming to Denver more often!
