On June 20, THUMP presented the explosive Up Next launch party at Hudson River Park’s Pier 84 in New York City. Zedd, TOKiMONSTA, and Duke Dumont DJed in a custom LED structure called the MAD-Orb designed by 1024 architecture, with a massive interactive fireworks show by Pyrotecnico choreographed to the music.
In this video, we explore the cutting-edge technology by Iontank that made it possible for DJs and fans to curate their own custom fireworks extravaganza, as well how the MAD-Orb operates. We also catch up with Zedd, TOKi, and Duke behind the scenes, paired with breathtaking views from the event. Bangin’!
