![]() His experience was king as he lead us through a journey of experimental dance music to classic sing-alongs, giving Red Rocks all he had to offer. Under the mountain’s stars, Flume brought people together in a way no DJ could. ![]() The colorful blend of music brought walks of life from across the country with visitors from Texas, California and even Chicago. Moreso, friends of Flume jumped on stage to perform including MAY-A, who stepped up to perform “Never Be Like Me” and their collaboration “Say Nothing.” Even with the stage queues and the second set of three being played, fans were kept guessing what was to come next from the front tables turning at the helm of Flume. At the same, the arches on stage, which could be inferred as Flume’s palace, shifted and moved throughout in order to indicate a shift in tone for the show. Throughout the performance, beautiful landscapes and portraits of animated and colorful birds appeared on the screen. Opener Oklou would return to the stage to perform their number, “Highest Building.” The upbeat jam transcended the crowd to new places within the palace, keeping the audience on its toes. Smooth transitions of hyper-pop blended into the sounds of drum and bass, followed by a melodically full song. Here, Flume showcased his ability to bring the weird to the normal and the dark to the light. The producer has been in the game for 10 years collecting references. The difference between Flume at Red Rocks in 2022 versus previous performances was his experience. This would only be the beginning but the DJ showed his love for Colorado by shouting, “Denver how are we doing? Thank you so much for coming out tonight!” Without skipping a beat, Australian singer Kučka hopped on stage to perform their latest song “Escape.” Fans would do just that - escape into the night as throwback remixes of “You and Me” and Lorde’s “Tennis Court” took the crowd to another place and time. The entire crowd sang along to the chorus as one big family linked arm and arm. The DJ set an expectation by opening with “The Difference” featuring Toro y Moi. At least that’s what Flume decided to do as a spinning wheel appeared on screen with revving car engine noises blaring through the amphitheatre. There’s only one way to open a show at Red Rocks - kick it into high gear. For TSHA, Red Rocks was only the beginning. With transitions as smooth as butter, it’s no wonder why people are rallying behind the artist. Songs “Let You Go” and “Giving Up” lead to relentless club energy that was present throughout her set. Opening with beats resonant of a traditional nightclub, the DJ kept the crowd grooving. Fans were in for a treat as the London-based producer is quickly emerging as one of the most exciting young artists. Without hesitation, TSHA hopped behind the turn tables. ![]() Not just anyone could pull off a nostalgic set but the duo delivered on their promise by sticking to their guns and getting people on their feet. Fans shuffled, danced and jumped for joy at the familiar sounds. ![]() First, the duo Prospa took us back to the classic sounds of electronic music by blending deep-house and techno music reminiscent of the early 2000s - in the best way possible. While Oklou would ease the crowd into their seats, it would not be the last they saw of her.ĭJ’s Prospa and TSHA handled the rest of the opening act duties, playing a back-to-back set of danceable electronic music. ![]() People began taking their seats, enjoying the soft synths and taking in the beautiful skyline. As fans climbed up the stairs, Oklou treated the crowd to a blend of soothing pop, electronic and R&B. In a similar style, the French producer paced around the stage full of confidence and grace. In fact, she had practice opening for a Colorado crowd at the end of 2021 when she opened for Caroline Polachek at the Bluebird Theater. However, Oklou knew exactly how to settle the crowd into the amphitheatre. Opening for the Australian musician is no easy task. ![]()
