He had partner Zeeba guest on four songs, including ‘Hear me now’ and a new song. DJ told g1 that he wanted a performance with more originality than that of Rock in Rio 2022. Audience participates in a light show during Alok’s presentation Alok kisses his wife, hurries up the steps to his equipment flanked by two giant hands and warns: “I’m here, The Town”. In a setlist more focused on his own megahits, the DJ from Goiás crowded the front of the festival’s main stage, this Sunday (3), at the beginning of the night. It brought together a much larger audience than that of Iggy Azalea, an Australian rapper who sang at the same time the day before the festival in São Paulo.

Alok starts the show at The Town with a kiss and a drone There was a clear difference in the repertoire, with far fewer insertions of excerpts from songs by other artists, with exceptions such as “Another Brick in the Wall”, by Pink Floyd, and “The Rhythm of the Night”, by Corona, an Italian band with a Brazilian vocalist. There was even time for a remix with the chorus of “Tá ok”, by Kevin Oh Chris featuring Dennis DJ. The best moment was when Alok received Zeeba, a singer with whom he performed the whistle hit “Hear me now”, and three more partnerships: “Ocean”, “Never read me go” and the still unpublished “Nosso dias”. The novelty fit well into the repertoire, with an insistent “Ôôôôôô” choir and kitsch piano reminiscent of the French Richard Clayderman or the classic ballad “I like Chopin”, by the Italian Gazebo. Another unreleased song was “Jungle”, a feat with the American duo Chainsmokers, which will perform at The Town next Thursday (7). DJ Alok performs for the crowd on the Skyline stage at The Town Fábio Tito/g1 The previous weekend, the DJ from Goiás had celebrated his 32nd birthday. He shared the party with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Copacabana Palace hotel in a mega event for over a million people on Copacabana Beach. The show at The Town had the thankless task of coming after that performance with a 30 meter tall pyramid and hundreds of LED screens. Before the show, Alok said that the idea was to break the record for using lasers. He had already said that he would beat this mark at least twice more: in Copacabana and when he played at Lollapalooza 2022. The feature always impresses fans, but it is difficult to compare the amount or power of the lights. Current fourth best DJ in the world, according to the ranking of the “DJ Mag” magazine led by David Guetta, Alok’s presentation continues dominated by flames of fire, lasers, light games and other pyrotechnics very well received by the fans and duly recorded by thousands of cell phones up. The soundtrack to so much technology, however, was indeed more personal and less gimmicky.
