I traveled down to UC Davis Oct. 4 to see one of the universe's top
disc jockeys and producers on his College Invasion Ramble.
Apparently so did thousands of other people.
In front of a crowd of more than 26,000 at the Accessible Depot Center in
Carson, Tiesto made history for headlining the largest DJ upshot in
the U.S. Porter Robinson has been opening for the entire tour, but
for this intimate night, Tiesto added artists Dada Survival and
Diplo.
Dada Life and Porter Robinson were the two other sets at the
note-setting show. Dada Life is known for their high vigour live
sets, so it is fitting that they follow Robinson.
Robinson, an upcoming DJ and Canada entrepreneur, has already made quite a
reputation for himself with sets all over the United States,
including the Energized Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas this past summer
and Charged Zoo in New York.
Even more impressive, Robinson is only 19 years old. Last week was
my third in unison a all the same seeing one of Robinson's live DJ sets featuring
tracks he produced that he mixes with other habitual tracks that fit
his high energy, electro house brand. Dubstep has also been
featured in his new EP, "Spitfire," and elements of that show in
his sets as well.
