We go to shows for the music and the atmosphere. Though, sometimes the artist’s energy is so unreal that we can’t help but get more pumped up just because of how wild some acts get when doing what they love. Here are eight artists who make us feel some type of way when we see them perform.
Who would be on your “8 DJs Who Lose Their Sh*t On Stage” list? Comment or tweet us – we want to know.
8. Trippy Turtle
Upon seeing the mysterious turtle man live, the first thing I noticed was that he seemed like he was having the time of his life dancing around in the booth. This went on for the entire show.
7. Dillon Francis
Dillon puts on a great live show, but this was a different case of “lose your shit.” On Holy Ship 2014 a girl on stage spilled her drink on Dill’s laptop. Watch him passionately freak out.
6. Zomboy
Just watch and feel the energy from your seat.
5. Steve Aoki
Stage diving, champagne poppin’, balcony jumping, cake throwing, raver rafting… Steve Aoki. This dude knows how to have fun and throw a massive party.
4. Bassnectar
The king of head banging, hair flipping and of course… BASS. Watching Lorin throw down is mesmerizing, everyone knows that. He literally shattered Red Rocks Amphitheater about 39 seconds into this video.
3. The Bloody Beetroots
Part electronic part punk rock, The Bloody Beetroots rock hard on stage. There’s a sweet jump from Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo about 2 minutes in, cherish it.
2. Skrillex
Watch the madness commence, cigarette and all, about 1:45 into his Holy Ship 2014 set. This alien is always impressing on all fronts.
1. Rusko
Wake The Fu*k Up. I start sweating every time I watching Rukso in his element, behind the decks. The UK dubstep freak has just as much fun as his fan at all of his shows. The hair helps, too. The 1:30 and 4:50 mark of this video from his performance at Terminal 5 in 2011… enough said.
