Champion of Pretty Dark Loud music, Mersiv has been on a roll in 2025! On April 4, he released his new seven-track album 444 to widespread fan support. April 4 was also the day of his Attack On Mars Red Rocks show, where he debuted the Audiosphere. The Audiosphere is a collaborative project with AKA Event Production to create an immersive audio experience that surrounds the venue with 360 sounds using an array of speakers. For a more detailed description of the tech, check out Mersiv’s reel.
Lucky for Mersiv fans, he was able to adapt the same Audiosphere technology used at Red Rocks for a North American tour this fall. With two shows already in the books, Mersiv is back on the road this Friday, November 14 in Minneapolis and on November 15 in Chicago. After this weekend, he’s still got another eight tour dates over the next six weekends through December 20.
Moon Lvnding was privileged to attend his Audiosphere Tour debut in Brooklyn to check out the innovative sound technology and talented bass artists. The support for Mersiv’s show at Industry City was outstanding!
Mystic Methods was a new name for me, and I was quite impressed by the duo’s performance. They each wore neon light masks with slightly different designs and humorously held up a dry-erase board with messages throughout the set. People were engaged and getting down. The good vibes continued with Dennett, fresh off a stacked summer festival run. He played a good mix of originals, remixes, and dubstep classics to keep the crowd moving.
As the main attraction, Mersiv shone brightly. His new tunes from the 444 album sounded great incorporated into the new set. “Dawn” really stood out for me. Even more eye-catching was how the lighting visuals were incorporated into the 360 speaker setup for the Audiosphere. With a view from the elevated green room, one could clearly see waves of color changing all around the venue as Mersiv and the lighting tech used the dynamic 360 setup.
The sound, on the other hand, was a bit hit or miss depending on your spot in the Audiosphere. While the event space had an eight-speaker array setup fully around the venue, the space was more rectangular than square. There were spots with great sound from either side of the room, giving that full surround sound experience as was intended. But toward the sides, the sound felt a bit imbalanced. All that being said, The Audiosphere Tour has an innovative new sound design that creates a fun live show. I’m sure with more time and experience deploying the sound technology, the sound quality and production will improve even more.
With all the tour stuff going on, Mersiv still had time to make literal waves while on board EDSEA this November. From what he shared on social media, it sounds like he had a great time performing at Insomniac’s EDM cruise event. Then, once the tour wraps up, Mersiv has a few dates booked to ring in the new year, including a performance at Eternal NYE in Orlando on December 30 and To The Future NYE in Nashville on December 31.
