Coming out in a GOJEK jacket, Diplo masterfully treated fans to an extremely well balanced mix of trap, bass and psytrance. At the second set he performed that night – the first being with Major Lazer Soundsystem – Diplo made sure to put his own spin on things and gave trap and bass fans a set they won't soon forget. Within 30 minutes, Frontliner had converted a significant portion of the crowd into ardent fans.Īmerican producer extraordinaire Diplo swooped in to save Day 1 after RL Grime's unfortunate cancellation and while many festival-goers had expressed their disappointment (some had flown specifically for Grime), Diplo quickly silenced all naysayers. Thanks, in part, to his charisma and guiding hand, the crowd begun to reciprocate. And you know what, his perseverance paid off. Despite a rocky start (due to crowd inactivity), Frontliner stuck to his guns and played an intense hardstyle set, not wavering to perform mainstream drops that would undoubtedly get the crowd riled up. Tasked with performing right before Diplo, the hardstyle maven had his work cut out for him, with a large portion of fans who had secured their spots for Diplo not being a fan of the genre.

Spread over the course of three nights, DWPX saw the return of many previous performers, the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Showtek and DJ Snake, as well as the debuts of The Weeknd, Tommy Trash and Crisis Era, to name just some.Īpart from the impeccable stage builds and production value, complete with fireworks, pyrotechnics and an arsenal of lasers and CO 2, the festival also showcased organisers Ismaya Live's problem-solving capabilities.
