After a massive day of concerts and good vibes, Osheaga Music Festival kept the party going at one of the hottest nightclubs in Canada with one of the most acclaimed DJs in the world. Alan Walker, formally known as DJ Walkzz, pulled off a raging show after partying on stage during his Osheaga set earlier that evening.
The venue quickly started filling up at around 11:30 to midnight with he very best of partyer's. Most of the crowd came straight to New City Gas from the festival to close the night out properly. At 1:30 am, the long awaited DJ came to stage with an immensely emotional intro. I particularly loved the way Walker slowly brought the crowd into his music; even the bouncers were starting to dance and enjoy themselves. After an opening full of powerful songs, Alan Walker brought the crowd to a deep house/bass house groove for the first half hour of his set. Aware of the crowd’s energy level, Walker slammed back the intensity by dropping Brooks and GRX’s somewhat new hit single “Boomerang”. At that point, the temperature inside the venue became so hot from a full house of people jumping and dancing that even the dj had to remove his renowned face mask. Now that’s a sign of a crowd enjoying themselves.
At about 2:30 am, the light show took a right turn and became the main entertainment for a brief moment. These massive LED screens went from regular flashing lights to an amazing 3D journey through rough seas and flying between massive rocks and cliffs. It really captured everyone’s attention; even the owner of New City Gas was amazed. Feeling that the crowd wanted more, the restless DJ finished his set with a dirty but deadly trance vibe. The crowd loved it, the VIPs loved it and I loved it. Now that’s the right way to finish a day saturated with music.
This afterparty was nothing but good vibes. Alan Walker crushed a jaw dropping set that left everyone incredibly satisfied. Personally, I’m nope a massive fan of his music, but I must admit that he nails his raves. Again, New City Gas hosted another fantastic night and I hope to see many more like these in the future.
