Two Friends
Show Preview by Brittany Ormiston
POV: you attend a Two Friends concert. Everyone is dancing the night away as electronic dance music (EDM) and remixed classics flood through the speakers. The duo Matt Halper and Eli Sones are in the DJ booth matching the energy of the crowd, and jumping in sync. Large light shows with lasers are moving at hyperspeed to electrify the concert atmosphere. The energy in the room is unlike anything you have ever experienced with the beats resonating deep within your bones. You have connected with fellow members of the community, and will continue to celebrate the power of EDM as you move and groove.
Two Friends ignite a world of nostalgia, authenticity, and an enthralling listening experience for all. As best friends in high school, Matt and Eli quickly learned of their shared interest in hip-hop beats and music production. They joined forces to form a professional partnership, and the rest is history. The duo started to become a household name with their viral remixes of ‘Mr. Brightside’ by The Killers and ‘I Miss You’ by Blink 182. Their award-winning Big Bootie Mix series followed closely behind. Each installment of the series is about an hour long, and filled with remixes that will blow your mind. In 2022, Two Friends created the festival Big Bootie Land to premiere a new Big Bootie Mix in a different city every year.
Starting with a debut at Coachella in April, Two Friends have been dominating the EDM scene. On June 2nd, Big Bootie Land is making its way to Chicago where Big Bootie Mix Vol. 23 will be heard by attendees, and supporters across the world via livestream. The duo is currently amidst their nationwide tour that is taking concert-goers to another planet. Two Friends are delivering “dance-pop excellence” with invigorating original productions, live instrumentation, and explosive remixes with each tour stop. With a lineup of special guests, they have sold out countless shows and are well on their way to selling out many more. Take the leap, and buy a ticket to Planet Two Friends for the ultimate summer experience. Remember life’s too short to be without EDM.
