Road To EDC Las Vegas 2017: Quantum Valley Showcase - 23/27
EDC Week
Day 36/40: VII Takeover: John Askew - Day 1: Quantum Valley
Artist: John Askew Song: Raven
Genre: Tech Trance Label: VII
(Wednesday) The next master of high energy tech trance who is my #5 top anticipated act and #3 on the VII artist reveal, is John Askew! He is one of the co-founders of the VII record label. I saw him play at EDC last year, and he played an amazing set despite having such an early time slot. He has also just released his third single "Black Coffee" on the label.
"Raven" is Askew's second release on the VII label. The main highlight of this track, and is botched up by the radio edit, is the climax at 2:30. The acid synths take the spotlight; if this section were to be played live, the laser show would be really intense. The radio edit is missing the second half of the climax, so I encourage listening to the full version as well!
John Askew will be playing at Quantum Valley on Day 1 with the rest of the VII crew from 10:00 - 11:30 pm. He will carry on the energy started by Will Atkinson and transition into harder tech trance. I expect the laser show to be in full force for this set. I will be camped at the Quantum Valley stage so come find me and say hi!
