Roseland DJ trio Cash Cash treated Calgarians to an energetic sold out performance at The Palace Theatre on Saturday the 28th, the final major dance show to hit the city before the new year.
The night itself was a big deal, considering 3 hours north of the city Edmonton wrapped up their 2-day massive “Get Together” festival and there would be no major New Year’s Eve spectacular to follow. But the boys were ready to send off 2019 and their set was chocked full of their hits throughout the decade.
It was also special with an all-local opening line up consisting of Titus1, Dirtystylez and Confined before the trio took the stage.

Confined kicked things off at 9 pm sharp with a groovy house set. Dirtystylez jumped on after 10:15 pm, kicking things off with a remix of Sean Paul’s “Temperature” and later on Loud Luxury’s “Body” that switched to Tiesto’s “Boom” as the drop, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The highlight of his set came just before 11:30 pm when he dropped Vintage Cultures remix of “Radioactive” and almost everyone on the dancefloor had their hands up well before the drop.
At 11:30 pm, Calgary EDM legend Titus1 hopped on the decks with the help of locals Atwood & Andy Villa. Those Calgarians that go to EDM shows at the Palace know how hard Titus1 goes, and he did not disappoint, kicking things off with a Kernkraft 400/Rattle bootleg and keeping it going with the heaviest house and top 40 mashups. The rest of the set was mostly a b2b with Atwood and Andy Villa wrapped things up with a few bass house tracks.

Cash Cash emerged right after 12:45 am and started things off with a slightly faster set, following it with their signature hit “Surrender”. The rest of the night was a circle of different speeds, pitching it up to 140 bpm with an acapella of Kanye West’s “Power”, going back to 128 bpm with “Belong” and slowing it down with their radio hits “Can We Pretend” & “Millionaire”. This went on for their entire set, but every time the group switched tempos, it was banger after banger so there weren’t any awkward gaps. They also managed to squeeze in more of their work featuring “Bada Boom”, “Finest Hour”, “All My Love” & “Matches” plus a few throwbacks from earlier on including “Like A G6”, “Sandstorm” and even “Basket Case” by Green Day.
Just after 2:15 am, the boys bid adieu with their staple “Take Me Home”. A great way to end not only an electrifying set but 2019 on a high note.
