Zedd scheduled to launch LIGHT at Mandalay Bay
Gearing up for its grand opening weekend at Mandalay Bay, the Cirque du Soleil inspired nightlife experience LIGHT has just announced its lineup featuring Nicky Romero and Axwell on the 26th and 27th of April. To create even more buzz for the grand debut, LIGHT will be opening its doors on Wednesday evening, allowing Zedd to be the first artist to turn on the sound system, lights and visuals of the 38,000 square foot night club. In addition to the grand opening, LIGHT has revealed their first month of residencies from Alesso, Baauer, Thomas Gold and Krewella, all of whom are set to deliver memorable inaugural performances in the month leading up to Memorial Day.
The digital divide: a technical perspective on Zedd and Porter Robinson’s Ultra sets
While Pioneer CDJs were easily the platform of choice for DJ’s at Ultra, both Zedd and Porter Robinson took to their MIDI controllers on Sunday for two hours of rapid, thrilling mixing.
