Abstract
This project consists of a performance that brings together elements of DJing and live electronic performance utilizing a minimalist, modern hardware setup. The main purpose of this performance is to provide audiences of all ages with a deep sense of connection by playing a set that juxtaposes well-known, uplifting dance music spanning five decades, with deep house and melodic house songs that weave a sense of transcendence and profoundness throughout the high energy journey of dance hits. For the purpose of creating sonic cohesion amongst the varied production styles of different decades, and to feature the musicality of the artist, the songs are also infused with new musical layers, improvisations and effects. The areas of focus are: hardware setup, song selection and programming, and elements of live performance. Keywords: DJ, Live Performance, Electronic Music
