![]() He went with another vocalist, who wasn’t so great. This meant Zedd needing to use another vocalist, or the recorded track. Case in point: Hayley Williams, the original vocalist for “Stay The Night” was on tour with her own band and could not make this performance. The biggest problem that you encounter with such a huge DJ is that when they have their live sets, the artists that they collaborate with may not be there. When given the opportunity, like when I was able to see him live, he played the piano for the popular song “Stay The Night,” instead of staying behind the DJ equipment. Knowing this information, you get a better realization of where his inspiration comes from when he makes his own tracks. But what you may not know is that Zedd is also a classically trained pianist making him a multi-talented artist, as opposed to the “EDM DJs only push buttons and are not real artist” reputation. Like most EDM stars these days, a lot of his tracks feature other artists, usually vocalists like his grammy winning song “ Clarity” which features Foxes. TL DR: DO NOT ATTEND EVENTS AT NEW CITY GAS, not worth the ordeal.Īnton Zaslavki is a grammy winning DJ and producer, and is one of the top EDM artists, but is better known as Zedd. Not even any chances at a refund, once NCG has your money they could give less a shit about you. I'm sure Zedd was great, but the damn venue and its management was just absurd. ![]() I saw a few others turned away for sweatpants regardless of how presentable among other silly reasons. They were an all back, clean pair of black shorts. Even after salvaging this disaster of an operation just by simply opening my mouth a couple times, my shorts STILL didn't make the cut for this back alley warehouse. APPARENTLY this guy was going by the VIP dresscode and yet again, I had to question/complain for the problems with this place to be resolved. He starts sending HALF the people in line away due to dresscode, whether it be sneakers, tank tops, shorts, hats, you name it. Next up in this shitshow is the bouncer for GA. ![]() After this, over HALF the line followed suit cause apparently they were in a similar situation. Once I asked the security if I was in the right place since I didn't even know if this was the venue, he said it was VIP, and general admissions was a squeeze past a small corridor with no signs or anything, extremely intuitive. General admissions were all in the VIP line because they had no idea where else to go. Even if you could find it, it was managed horribly. The venue was down some back alleys with no distinguishing signs or indicators of the venue, let alone parking. This is an artist with the world at his feet and the best is yet to come. This is a man that can write record and release all this while still performing up to 150 shows as a DJ in a year, and there is still a very long time before his 30th birthday. His album “Clarity” was released in 2012 to great acclaim and strong sales but his collaboration with Paramore’s Hayley Williams was what broke him out as a solo artist in his own right, leading to the world wide smash hit “Stay The Night”. Since then, everyone from Ellie Goulding, to Foxes, Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga have worked with Zedd. He said: “Hey, 99.9% of the EDM scene sucks, you’re the last bit that does not, you’re awesome and you’ll like my music.” Before the Kaiserslautern born native knew what was happening, he was put through to Skrillex’s booking agent, and was on tour with him shortly after. Since without it, it’s quite likely that we wouldn’t have one of the EDM scene’s brightest hopes for the future in a very long time.Īfter being inspired to create electronic music by the French electro godheads Justice, Zedd set about making a name for himself and in 2011, decided to try messaging dubstep wunderkind Skrillex with one fateful message. So it turns out we still have something to thank MySpace for after the first decade of the new millennium.
