Teksupport bringing Eric Prydz’s HOLO show to Brooklyn is something New Yorkers were very thankful for last weekend. HOLO arrived in New York City for the first time since the show’s North American debut in 2019 and it was even better than before. Three sold-out crowds at the Brooklyn Navy Yard got to enjoy state-of-the-art visuals and fresh music compositions over Thanksgiving weekend on November 22, 24, and 25.
New York DJ/producer Charles D, a regular contributor to techno labels Pryda Presents and Drumcode, got each night started with over two hours of tunes. UK artist and Pryda Presents mainstay Cristoph followed up with another two hours of masterful mixing and song selecting. By the time Cristoph finished up, the immense warehouse space filled with fans, and the energy of the crowd peaked.
The new production for the 2023 incarnation of HOLO was immaculate – exceeding expectations. Not only were the new 3D images larger than life, but they also incorporated added live production outside of the LED lighting. For example, one scene featured a character with a circular saw. When the saw swung down to make contact, it triggered real sparklers firing up from the stage.
The opening scene featured a character with a remote control. When the button on the remote was pressed, it triggered a red laser beam to shoot from the sensor of the remote out through the crowd. The most impressive of all the scenes involved four characters strapped with air packs. When the air packs switched on and were aimed at the crowd, bursts of cool CO2 clouds fired out from the stage into the crowd.
Of course, the spectacle of the visual production accompanied top-notch musical mixing from the legend Eric Prydz. His trademark techno sound had the crowd moving all night long. New Yorkers are certainly grateful to be on a short list of cities that have been able to witness two separate appearances of Eric Prydz HOLO for sold-out three-day runs – back in 2019 and now again in 2023.
