8 PHENOMENAL FESTIVAL DANCE TROUPES FROM 2015
We are extremely honored to be named in the top 8 most phenomenal festival dance troupes of 2015! See excerpt from their Fest 300's article below!
“Perhaps the most electrifying performance in the music festivals scene right now occurs at Electric Daisy Carnival. In addition to aerialists, acrobatics, stilt walkers and pyrotechnics, SkyFire hosts a cavalcade of martial arts-inspired dancers wielding weapons imbued with fire and lightning. That’s right: lightning! A massive Tesla coil slings bolts of electricity clear across the stage while acrobats catch lightning to spark fires and ignite pyrotechnical explosions. In fact, the equipment is so highly charged with electricity that it hums and crackles like a wagon-sized bug zapper. That’s why, when these wizards perform at Electric Daisy Carnival, one can’t help but appreciate the mastery required to safely produce such a mesmerizing show.” – Fest300.com, Graham Berry

10 Unforgettable Moments from EDC Las Vegas
We are so honored to be names one of the 10 Unforgetable Moments from EDC this year by Magnetic Magazine! See excerpt from their article below!
“We Gonna Rock Down To Electric Avenue. So, let’s talk about Mr. Tesla Dude for a second because he deserves a standing ovation after the eyelids he peeled back over all three nights. He controlled electricity with his hands, then proceeded to control it with a staff. Then some sticks. Then his mind. We trippy mane.”

Best: The Tesla Coil Guy
I know, I know: You’ve seen a million Tesla coils at Coachella and Burning Man. They probably sell the goddamn things at Sharper Image by now. But the performer working a small but vigorous coil at EDC was truly something special. Clad in head-to-toe chain mail and twirling two metal staffs like some demented Cirque du Soleil reject, Tesla coil guy made the lightning dance from his fingertips to his staffs and back again with such precision, the frequency of the coil’s electrical whine actually seemed to match the buzzy trance soundtrack that accompanied his choreographed routine. He also had some weird positive-affirmation voiceovers that didn’t really make any sense, but all that arcing electricity was so spectacular that it hardly mattered. — Andy Hermann

The 15 Best Moments of EDC 2015
Wow! We are honored to have made the top 15 Best Moments of EDC this year among so many extraordinary acts. See excerpt from the Less Than 3 Blog that named us!
“In sync with the music and menacing to the tune of Emperor Palpatine, our electrokinetic costumed performer was hands-down the most eye-catching side-show of the weekend. He compelled bolts of lightning to link with his in-hand metal rods and lunged around a central Tesla coil coaxing it out and giving new meaning to the term “conductor.”
