Seismic Dance Event simply grew to become the one of the vital uniquely curated festivals in Texas. Taking place over this previous weekend in Austin, the lineup boasted a few of the largest names in home and techno like Lane eight, Sacha Robotti, Golf Clap, Weiss and extra. The occasion was placed on by unbiased Austin promotion firm RealMusic Events. And regardless that this was solely 12 months one in all Seismic, every thing ran smoothy leaving the attendees blissful and happy. Despite some fairly drastic adjustments.
Seismic was initially set to happen at Carson Creek Ranch, a luscious outside venue in South Austin. Due to weeks of rain previous to the pageant and much more rain within the forecast, RealMusic homeowners Andrew Parsons and Kelly Gray needed to decide. Nature threw a curveball they usually made the effectively thought out choice to maneuver the pageant to an indoor, warehouse model venue simply days earlier than the occasion.
Normally a change this massive so near an occasion could be disastrous. New safety measures needed to be put in place, artist hospitality and transportation needed to change fully, pageant attendees wanted to rearrange their journey plans.
But this was one of the vital sleek venue adjustments I’ve ever seen. RealMusic went above and past
to make sure the satisfaction of the artists and pageant goers. The transfer to a big, warehouse venue ended up being the proper place to showcase the home and tech home productions.The predominant Volcano Stage was the house to Justin Jay’s energetic home set, Claptone’s darkish and mysterious sounds, and Duke Dumont’s beachy tropical home vibes. Adorned with volcanoes and a bigger than life dragon head, this stage was a visible masterpiece. The room was giant, darkish and the proper place for Green Velvet to hit us along with his signature inexperienced laser beams.
The smaller, Tsunami stage was held in a smaller warehouse model room subsequent door. A handcrafted ship stood because the stage, with tsunami waves crashing round it. This was the house of the Desert Hearts takeover the place we received to take pleasure in units from Mikey Lion, Lee Reynolds and extra. On the dance flooring, shufflers and stream artists of all types took to their craft, letting the hypnotic home home beats take over. Food vehicles of every kind had been accessible to fulfill everybody’s palette. Each day, the pageant started with a ceremonial blessing of the grounds, and even a celebration of the Fall equinox. Attendees might even register to vote, how cool.
To hold the get together going, a silent disco tent was accessible to catch a few of the artists in a extra private setting. I received the pleasure of jamming out to Omnom’s bouncy silent disco set.
Despite drastic final minute adjustments, Seismic Dance Event turned out to be an extremely effectively thought out pageant and I cant wait to look at it develop.
