[Event Review] Alesso Debuts At Brooklyn Storehouse with 2 Sold-Out Shows

Alesso debuted at The Brooklyn Storehouse in grand fashion. Over 2 nights, he took New York by storm with his dazzling production and music. Alesso is a personal favorite of mine, his shows have always brought me incredible joy. He does a fantastic job of balancing his golden-age progressive sound with his club-ready modern records. For over 2 hours over 2 different nights, Alesso had thousands moving in Brooklyn.

Joining him on stage was AC Slater and John Alto. John kicked off the night and had the crowd warmed up nicely. AC Slater had the crowd in his hands as he moved and grooved them. The Bass House godfather has a grip on house music like no other. His new track ‘Brain On Drugs’ is so good to hear live!

The Brooklyn Storehouse is the perfect venue for dance music. Newly acquired by Broadwick & TCE, the Navy Yard venue has been around for years but never had an official name. The production is phenomenal within the venue with lights and lasers everywhere. The sound is really great as well.

It is a long warehouse which allows ample space if you like your room to dance. There are plenty of bars and bathrooms so rarely is there a need to wait. There is also a nice chill spot where you can still hear the music but take a seat if need be.

Alesso

Alesso has been debuting a new show concept this year called BODY HI. It is a deeper catalog of underground cuts as part of his new house and techno project. He debuted the project at Coachella’s famous Do LaB stage. Alesso dropped an impressive Hypnotize EP earlier this year that was filled with heat.

I have seen Alesso more times than I can count and this one was one of my favorite shows of his. Nothing beats the first time I saw him at EDC in 2017 though. Alesso stuck the perfect balance between his throwback records and his more intense and groovy house tracks.

He played all of his classics from ‘Heroes’ to his remix of ‘If I Lose Myself’ to ‘Calling‘ to ‘Pressure’. He also played his new track with David Guetta which is a calling to his past sound with a modern touch. He is one of the most special acts you can see in dance music and I highly recommend.
