Dennis Ferrer

I had the chance to see Dennis Ferrer at a festival earlier this year and it opened my eyes to his music. I was unfamiliar with this artist before the festival, but I am definitely a fan now. He played on a large stage that was very well lit and worked well with the type of show he was doing. The lights were coordinated with the beats of the music he was playing. What I liked about him was that he used softer beats rather than the hard hitting stuff that tends to be softer now. It kind of reminded me of something you would hear in the early to mid 90’s. He let the music build from a soft swell to a strong climax. His set was over two hours long and he paced it wonderfully. His set list got the crowd in to the music and everyone was dancing. There wasn’t any crowd interaction really, but with the type of music being played, I can understand that. I was never really in to this type of music but his set list and the crowd have turned me on to the genre. I will be seeking more of this out in the future.
