Skrillex may have been the top dog for day one of Spring Awakening, but a slew of DJs belted out beats from three additional stage outposts that traced the outskirts of the green surrounding Soldier Field stadium. Under one tent, L.A. electro chums Designer Drugs drew the peak-time afternoon slot, battling the heat to pound out its gritty beats. A sweltering day, the temperature might have made for some seriously lethargic dancing if not for the firehouse that came out to shower revelers in what quickly began to look like a scene from Car Wash gone raver.
Across the way, French electro house goofball Joachim Garraud hit the stage sporting his signature Space Invadersalien emblazoned in the center of his t-shirt. Bounce back from the wall of Soldier Field itself made for a bit of a techno cacophony if you weren't well placed within the tent, but once inside his high energy sound and the appearance of his keytar won everybody over instantly.
Inside the stadium, the sun now close enough to the horizon to offer a sea of shade to revelers on the field, Fool's Gold honcho and able-bodied turntablist party-rocker A-Trak ignited an all-out dance party with his mix of electro, house, indie dance, acid-trap and dubstep. In one hour, he probably covered more ground than any one DJ did all day and did so with the utmost style—even if he did drop 2012 EDM festival atrocity "Have You Seen Molly?" by Cedric Gervais.
Around the corner at the locals-only stage, which expanded out of the guts of a Red Bull tour bus, Evil Olive's Porn and Chicken crew, which included DJs Orville Kline, Phives, host-MC Dom Brown, resident party girl Mandi Black and steampunk burlesque dance Ammunition, closed out the night. Overseas beach balls battled with the wind from the impending storm, hype girls shook what their mamas gave them and a respectable crowd of faithfuls gyrated in the evening cool before everyone concentrated back in the stadium to rave into the night with Skrillex's closing set.
It's okay to be a show-off.
