The fall season is quickly upon us, cooling down this summer’s electrifying EDM concert season, and with it brings the end of the summer EDM concert season. As the Twin Cities’ most esteemed and trusted music production company, Sound in Motion successfully brought the heat to Minneapolis one last time when they hosted Tiësto to a sold-out crowd at the Armory in Minneapolis. Sound in Motion regularly produces and orchestrates large-scale music shows around the Twin Cities, and it is an especially incredible feat when the entire event sells out. This was the most anticipated show all summer, and SIMShows certainly did not disappoint.
The night begun with quite a few talented openers. DJ Intrinsic got the crowd warmed up and dancing with his skillful mix of funk, reggae, and EDM. Next to take the stage was HAWX with a soul thumping house set. After that was Sound in Motion’s very own Jack Trash! As the owner of SIMShows, Jack certainly gave the company a good name when he gave the sold-out crowd a full set of adrenaline-pumping beats that kept everyone jumping on their feet. The final opener of the night was Canadian DJ, and long-time friend of Tiësto, Luis Torres. By this point of the night, the crowd was perfectly in sync and matching the energy of his invigorating set filled with progressive house and electro drops.
Finally, Tiësto took the stage to a screaming sold-out crowd’s delight. It had been two long years since he had perfomed at the Armory, and the crowd was in for a two hour set to make up for it. Tiësto is a legend in the EDM Music industry, with his experience mixing music and performing dating back almost 40 years ago! He has certainly perfected his craft, as last Friday’s show is a perfectly eclectic mix of hits from his newest album “Drive“, remixes of well-known songs, and crowd-pleasing Tiësto classics. The finely-tuned visuals featured beautifully sharp lasers, colorful real-time video of him playing from a camera positioned at his DJ set-up, and perfectly in-sync imagery projected on the large main screen as well as smaller screens throughout the venue. The seamless two hour set was a testament to both Tiësto’s prominence in the EDM industry and the incredible production value Sound in Motion shows portray.
Tiësto was an incredible night that every single person in the sold-out show will not forget for a long time. Sound in Motion has proven to be a top-tier production company for EDM shows in the Twin Cities.
