EDC Las Vegas 2022 - cosmicMEADOW Mix

The cosmicMEADOW stage at EDC Las Vegas has always been a haven for the melodic and the emotionally charged, and this 2022 mix embodies that spirit perfectly. It’s for those of us who need a moment of soaring catharsis between the bass bins, a chance to actually feel something beyond the sub-frequencies. The vibe here is expansive, hopeful, and tinged with that festival-specific brand of melancholy-tinged joy.

With only 11 tracks, this is a mix of journeys, not jabs, allowing each song to build its own world. The energy skews heavily towards the low-end (66%) and mid-range (28%), crafting a soundscape of deep, melodic foundations and heartfelt vocals, with just enough high-end sparkle (6%) to keep it from becoming ambient. It’s a patient, narrative-driven style of mixing.

The track selection is impeccable: the wistful, future-bass flutter of Petit Biscuit's 'Parachute' (Big Gigantic Remix) sets a majestic tone, the crystalline emotion of CRYSTAL SKIES & MITIS's 'Gone' provides a tearful peak, the raw, guitar-led uplift of SAN HOLO's 'HEAL' offers pure redemption, and the comical, mosh-pit chaos of Steve Aoki & DJ Diesel's 'Welcome to the Playhouse' serves as a hilarious, necessary palate cleanser. This is a journey that begins with the aerial beauty of 'Parachute', reaches an emotional zenith with the plea of 'Gone', and finds peaceful resolution in the healing chords of SAN HOLO's closing anthem, 'HEAL'.
