Zedd Electrifies Philadelphia!

By: Kevin Schoenfeld

This past New Years Eve weekend (12/28/13), world-renowned EDM artist Zedd performed in Philly at the Electric Factory as part of his Moment of Clarity tour. He put on quite a spectacular show, complimented by numerous visual effects on a large LED screen and a jaw-dropping laser light show. His diverse choice of songs for his set list kept the audience on edge about what would be next. The energy was alive and well for the entire night, as the venue was jam packed with a diverse group of ravers and fans. Show started at 8:30pm with DJ Lucky Date as the initial opening act and at 9:30 DJ Alex Metric followed up in his place. Zedd finally took the stage at 11:00 performing (till 1:00am) one of the best DJ mixes I have ever heard. For any fans of Zedd, EDM, or if you just need a party playlist, I strongly recommend checking out his performance stream on SoundCloud, which is linked below.
