The night began with C-U based DJ duo, The Interns, opening up and warming the crowd with their bass-filled trap beats. Having just released their sophomore EP, “Preach,” they had new beats to drop for the eager crowd at The Canopy Club Sunday.

Soon after, Ana Sia transitioned in with her deep, sexy, bass-driven music. At some points of the night you felt as if you were in the middle of a trance, then seconds later you’d be moving faster to keep up with her. Based out of the San Francisco Bay area, Ana Sia is not new to the festival circuit. She’s played at huge festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza and Electric Daisy Carnival, while also touring around Canada and abroad at various venues, college towns and smaller festivals.

After Ana Sia, Big Gigantic’s production team began setting up. Fifteen minutes later, the doors backstage burst open and Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken rushed in, dressed in all white. Lalli strapped with his saxophone and Salken with drumsticks in his back pocket, started jumping and getting pumped up for the show. A solid high five to each other and they lined up to run on stage ready to put on an unforgettable show.

Lalli and Salken are Boulder, Colo., natives and make up the hybrid live band/DJ Big Gigantic. They are known for their diverse style of music, which is in general electronic dance, but has hints of funk, dubstep, glitch, hip-hop and drum/bass. As festival circuit natives (Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Electric Forest and more) they have played as headliners, opened for various other headliners, and are going to be playing at “Holy Ship!” and “Jam Cruise” next year.

A little reminiscent of Daft Punk, the stage was set up with two platforms – one for Lalli and his saxophone and DJ equipment and one with Salken and his drum set. There were LED screens behind them flashing Pac-Man and various other graphics. With a flash of the stage lights and their hands raised to the sky, Big Gigantic began their set with a melodic saxophone note.

They built the crowd up with “It’s Goin’ Down” and provided musical release with fan favorites such as “I Need A Dollar,” “Notorious Thugs” and “Get Em’ High.” As fast as they built everybody up, they broke them down with beat drops and made the mass of music lovers jump in uniformity.

With steam rising up from the sold-out crowd of closely moving bodies, they were all entranced by the duo known as Big Gigantic.
