Fantazia 360 Hits UMass Halloween Night

What do you get when you mix fire performers, acrobats, hard hitting EDM music, the Mullin’s Center, and a dance floor jam packed with free and wild students? The answer is Fantazia 360.

NV Concepts and MASS EDMC are back and pleased to bring you round two of Fantazia 360 which will be hitting the Mullin’s Center Halloween night. The show promises to be better than ever, coming equipped with a 360 degree visual experience, theatrical performances by Flambeaux Fire & Natasha Circus, a rotating DJ booth in the form of a baby grand piano, aerialists and fire performers.

The debut of Fantazia was a smash hit on the UMass campus last year, selling out the Mullin’s Center, enchanting its audience with an epic set from its headliner DJ DSK CHK, and giving show goers a new type of EDM experience.

Always equipped with his Guy Fawkes mask, DJ DSK CHK is truly a unique addition to the EDM movement. DSK CHK says that “Identity should remain irrelevant, and only the music and the experience should be idolized.” With beliefs like that you know you’re in for an epic experience to say the least.

Julie Woodbury, junior at UMass Amherst, was one of the lucky students to be on the floor for the show last April.

“Once they had the fire breathers come out you could feel the heat from the fire on your face,” she says.

Returning to open for DJ DSK CHK this year is Bamboora who was a definite crowd pleaser last year. Bamboora sets himself apart from other DJ’s and blends all different elements of dance music making his tracks unique and addicting. This past year Bamboora has played with some of electronic music’s biggest names including Afrojack, Avicii, Calvin Harris,  and Hardwell.

Also accompanying DSK CHK and Bamboora is Voltran , a Boston based DJ who has been a force to be reckoned with for the past five years. Voltran is all about the base, but is able to draw in fans from from every frontier of EDM by staying open minded and including a variety of music in each and every set.

Fantazia 360 has set a precedent for other EDM DJ’s. Will this force other DJ’s to step their game up? Some hope and believe that this is what EDM shows will eventually become and are excited for what the future holds. The show is predicted to sell out on the UMass campus this Halloween and those who went last year are very eager to see what Fantazia has in store for us this year.
“It was awesome,” says Woodbury. “It was like Cirque du Soleil meets EDM. Definitely worth my money. I can’t wait to see what this year’s show will be like.”

Plenty of tickets are left and start at $25. Those who attend are encouraged to dress in costume and express their individuality.
