Winter in Minneapolis is known to be freezing, but Sound in Motion has been turning up the heat with their must-attend electronic music shows all season long. The premier EDM event production company in Minnesota recently hosted a spectacular 3-night run of Subtronics’ Cyclops Armory tour in downtown Minneapolis. Each night featured electrifying dubstep performances and a packed crowd at The Armory. It was a testament to Sound in Motion’s commitment to bringing top-tier music events to the Midwest.
On Night 1 of the Cyclops Armory tour, dubstep lovers were treated to outstanding bass music DJs and breathtaking production elements. The night kicked off with electrifying sets from INZO, a beloved Chicago-based EDM DJ, as well as Truth and Smoakland. INZO’s set was a dynamic blend of deep bass and melodic, intricate soundscapes that captivated the crowd and set the stage for an exhilarating night of music.
When Subtronics later took to the turntables, he delivered an epic performance that had the audience moshing and headbanging to every thunderous drop. His set mixed in both older hit songs and new favorites that amped up all the bass music lovers. The stellar production also consisted of a huge stage screen setup, dazzling ceiling fixtures that illuminated with each beat, and a continuous screen lining the second floor of the venue, making for an almost 360 degree lighting and laser experience throughout the venue.
The bass-packed weekend continued on Night 2 with a sold-out crowd eager to take on another electrifying dubstep experience. Those who avoided social media for spoilers on the incredible stage setup were in awe of the huge rectangular light fixtures that lined the ceiling of the venue. The epic night started off with Flozone, with his fusion of dirty south and modern bass music that got the crowd moving and amped up for the night ahead.
Next up was Zen Selekta, who enchanted the attendees with her ethereal melodies and deep bass. Rusko then took the stage with his energetic drum and bass drops that kept the crowd jumping on their feet. The final opener was Mersiv, who entranced attendees with his powerful bass and atmospheric melodies.
Finally, Subtronics once again took the stage to the screaming sold-out crowd’s delight. Like night one, he played a remarkable bass-heavy set full of old hits, new remixes, and collaborations with other artists that had the whole crowd doing “bass face” with each drop. Those who missed out on Night 1 were blown away by the perfect synchronization of the ceiling light fixtures, captivating visuals, crisp lasers, and pyrotechnics.
Sound in Motion truly outdid themselves with this incredible stage production that had not yet been seen at any music venue in the Twin Cities. They gave the sold-out crowd the time of their lives. By the time the show was over, people were begging for more and many decided to go again the 3rd night of the tour.
The final night of the Cyclops Armory tour was nothing short of spectacular, featuring electrifying sets from bass house DJ Deathpact, dubstep powerhouse Level Up (a.k.a. Subtronics’ wife), and Muzz. Each artist brought their own unique energy that fired up the crowd for a final unforgettable performance by Subtronics. Once he took over the turntables, his masterful production and relentless intensity kept the atmosphere electric. It was the perfect grand finale to an extraordinary weekend of dubstep.
The Cyclops Armory weekend was a feat of EDM event orchestration for the Twin Cities music community.
