Laserface Halloween 2019

British trance producer and DJ Gareth Emery’s Laserface: Halloween show just took place last Saturday, October 26th, at the Armory in Minneapolis. This is the last Laserface show for the year.
When we first saw a show at the re-opened Armory in Feb 2018 (as part of the Super Bowl celebration), we were rather impressed by its impressive 8,400 capacity venue… which is perfect place to host the special Laserface show.
Opening up the event was SIMshows contest winner Dylan Bernhardt, who produced a special 30-min playlist exclusively for Laserface. You can listen to his winning set via Soundcloud, and hear how he medleys in songs like “If You Were” (Danny Howard ft. Eli & Fur) with “Marisa” (Yotto).
Next up was local DJ group Euphoric Nation. This was the trance project from Don Ortega, but over time, he enlisted Justin Zanish, to help produce some memorable electronic mixes, such as “Edge of Tomorrow” and set closer “Sonic”. Check out their full setlist at Soundcloud.
Occasionally, Loch Stimpson, from Dimibo, would pop in and out to setup or help them out with their set. He would take over spinning right on the 10 O’Clock hour and kept the music pumping nonstop for the next hour.
Normally, Seattle’s Dimibo is a DJ duo, featuring Filip Pankovcin and Loch Stimpson, but as you can see in these photos, only Loch can be seen center stage. Either Filip was doing stuff behind the scenes, or he was just absent from this Halloween show.
There was a brief pause as they set up the stage for Austin-based Tritonal. The last time we heard about this Astrawerks group was when they were celebrating their 10-year anniversary of Tritonal’s Enhanced Music imprint in 2018 (read all about it here). The duo (Chad Cisneros and David Reed) had massive Spotify hits (over 200 million streams), across top tracks like “Hung Up” and “Until You Were Gone” (with The Chainsmokers).
Not happy with just playing their hits, the two insists on playing new collaborations, such as “Never Be the Same”, featuring Rosie Darling. They also played quite a few new 2019 tunes, taken from their third studio album U & Me (Enhanced Music).
Closing out the show at exactly midnight was Gareth Emery, the mastermind behind Laserface: Halloween. What made this show great is the amazing lasers light show from show designer Anthony Garcia, via Nice Lasers.
We’ve seen a few laser shows, and we’ve heard the equipment and setup can cost up to a million dollars, so it’s quite rare to see these laser shows used at a concert or DJ show.
While the set may be slightly different, I do recognize many of these songs, including Dirty Vegas’ “Days Goes By”, on his Ibiza 2019 set (on YouTube). So, if you were interested in hearing what the show sounded like, the two-hour mix can be found online and features some original and some re-mixes of older songs.
Emery recently released his third “Laserface” single, called “Laserface 03 (Leaving You)”, which follows “Laserface 01 (Aperture)” and “Laserface 02 (Thoughts In Pieces)”.
