Night 2 at Toboggan Festival brought out a show like none other. The city, the vibe, the energy, and the artists made last night feel so unique. The Canadian duo brought an energy with them that could only be matched by the crowd who were right there with them. The crowd was literally playing in the snow with none stop mosh pits, a heavy wall of death, and arguably one of the best rave sit downs of the year. Playing their classic beats, such as Tsunami, Pyramids, and Gold Skies, DVBBS took an unexpected turn to some house music for a short while playing a variety of Fisher, Dom Dolla, and a bit of Don Diablo to name few. Over all, it was a solid night with incredible scenery and lots of energy.

La semaine denier, la ville de Québec a vu un spectacle qui n’était comme aucune autre. La ville, l’énergie et les artistes on donner une sensation unique durant la soirée. Le duo canadien a emporté une énergie avec eux qui pouvait seulement se faire égaliser par la foule québécoise. Tout le monde se gardait au chaud en formant des gros « mosh pits », un « wall of death » et un moment où toute la foule s’est assit. Pendant tout ça, DVBBS on trouver une façon d’amener leur spectacle dans un aire du passé en jouant leurs anciennes chansons dont Tsunami, Pyramids et Gold Skies. Le duo a par la suite joué de la music style House pour donner une petite pause d’intensité mais pas pour longtemps. En tous, la soirée était vraiment superbe et l’organisation du Festival Toboggan ne cesse de nous impressionner.
