Concert Report: San Holo (The Plaza Live)

Only second visit ever to The Plaza Live!

Beginning act Rutger van Woudenberg dba The Nicholas (NL) giving us a 30-minute set of singing to essentially electronic music.

Followed by a 40-minute set from DJ Taska Black (B).

As the main room in The Plaza Live filled in.

I was calling his music "Heavy Bass Lite" when I realized the genre already had a name: "Future Bass".

Third act was musical but not a DJ set from Baynk (NZ).

He spent a lot of time on his sax.

As the hall became crowded!

And over the course of an hour plus, he did a lot of singing and twisting and spinning and prancing!

And then about 11:30PM, the reason we were all here!

San Holo (NL)

I was expecting a DJ set but it was mostly a musical performance.

On a much smaller scale, but very reminiscent of the show by Odesza (USA) this past May at CFE Arena. Link.

There was some cheering for songs the fans recognized such as "Lift Me From The Ground".

But overall I thought they were kind of subdued.

Fun in the tech booth!

San Holo's name of course is a play on Hans Solo but it also comes from his real name Sander Van Dijck.

San Holo has had several hits but the crowd kept waiting for his big one.

And then finally in his third encore song, he played it: Light.

Everyone knew the words and sang along. The fireworks shot out and the smoke cannons exploded!

And a good time was had by all!
