This year has been incredible for dance music in the mainstream media as well as underground. However, there are a few Boiler Room sets that really bring the special boogie energy to the dancefloor and stand out from the crowd.
Sammy Virji has taken the dance world by storm recently, dominating the good vibe energy and UK garage scene and has even visited Newcastle in his UK tours this year. His set, back in September in Denver, had a high-energy bass and a garage focus and got the crowd moving and grooving to his remixes including his own work 'Shella Verse' from 2023.
If you are a fan of Brat summer, the set 'Boiler Room & Charli xcx Presents PARTYGIRL', performed in New York back in February, will change your world. Charli xcx, alongside A. G. Cook, Julia Fox, George Daniel and Finn Keane provided a high-energy 'Brat-themed' experience with a catalogue of the artist's trending and past work. With a bouncy bass and sexy 'cool girl' ambience to the set, this is one not to miss.
Floating Points performed a 5-hour set of bliss and dance heaven, covering a spectrum of different genres including house, disco, soul and dubstep. What some may describe as a musical experience, the British DJ with a PhD in Neuroscience, performed in New York back in July from mostly his own vinyl collection. If you would like an education in dance music from the doctor himself, check out this Boiler Room set.
Curating a mix of reggaeton and guaracha, Rosa Pistola's Boiler Room set in London, last July, is a hip-moving creation to get the party started. The Colombian-born DJ and label owner played some hits as well as new bangers at the 'Champion: London' event to celebrate marginal genres. The energy and rhythm in this set is unmatchable, and can only be found in Latin-American beats.
Boiler Room's collection of live DJ performances is immense and caters to all genres, spanning over a decade. Check out the sets above or find your own favourites for your next high-energy study session or house party.
