On Friday, Nov. 9, Hard NYC presented Wolfgang Gartner as a part of his Love & War Tour at Terminal 5, in the Meatpacking District of NYC. The 26-year old electronic DJ had the crowd captivated and crazy during his nearly three-hour set.

During the show, Wolfgang dropped many of his more popular beats such as “Illmerica” and “The Way it Was”, both from his most recent album Weekend in America. One of the crowd’s indisputable favorites was his collaborative track with DJ Tiesto, “We Own the Night.” Enthusiastic fans adorned in everything from bright tights and glowing necklaces to wolf hats and fur boots flooded the two-floor venue to show their love for an amazing DJ.

Wolfgang may appear new and unheard of to some, but he has been popular in the EDM scene since around 2003 when he landed his first big break and began putting out records.  In reality, however, he has been producing music for about a decade- meaning he started when he was only 11 years old.

As for Wolfgang’s thoughts on EDM being just a fad? He replied, courtesy of an “Ask Me Anything” Reddit interview: “No, it’s always been here. It goes through cycles. It’s at the top of one right now, and I don’t know if this particular cycle has a bottom anywhere in sight.”

He also tweeted that this tour in New York was “pretty much the best weekend of my life.”

I’m sure thousands of fans feel the same way, too.
