Slander in Concert
Derek Andersen and Scott Land had only been DJing for a year when they found themselves totally blown away by the grandeur of a big trance music festival in 2010. They looked at each other and vowed to make it up on a stage as big as that one someday.
Flash forward to 2018, and the pair now known as Slander have played the main stage Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas for the second year in a row — this time alongside friend and trap music star Nghtmre — underneath endless firework explosions and the famously extravagant light show of the EDC stage.
Makers of self-described "heaven trap" music, Slander's live sets follow a 75/25 rule, giving a crowd mostly hard, heavy bass, but also mixing in the melodic vibes that set them apart within the trap realm. From past Vegas club residencies to their "Gud Vibrations" quasi-fest named after their megahit, Slander always look to leave their #SlanderFam fan base with the same emotional and spiritual takeaways from the music that they felt at that party in 2010. Talk about paying it forward.
Slander Background
As EDM surged in Southern California in the late 2000s, Slander's Derek Andersen and Scott Land met in their fraternity at UC Irvine. The DJ pair found themselves with a built-in party circuit in which to enact their sets, and they became regulars on the Orange County scene.
It wasn't until they attended L.A.'s Icon Collective (an electronic music production school of sorts) that they found their calling as trap music producers and EDM remixers. Slander (the moniker is a mishmash of their names) have remixed tracks for electronic heavyweights like Jack Ü and Gorgon City, as well as pop stars like Adele and Halsey.
Slander's "heaven trap" style brings a distinct euphoric mood to conventional trap music, like on their remix of Above & Beyond's "Love Is Not Enough," as well as on their latest single, "First Time" with Seven Lions and Dabin. They've released music on Diplo's Mad Decent label and frequently play major EDM festivals from Ultra Music Fest to all geographical iterations of EDC.
Never like it rave, went there just because I didn’t have anything to do. Now I’m hook. The vibe was incredible. 🔥🔥🔥
This was my first ever rave to attend to and it was the BEST I had sooooo much fun and best believe I was head banging hard to every song 😭 I will forever cherish that experience. The vibes was unbelievably breathtaking !! 10/10 LOVE SLANDER
They went all out for Sacramento show 10/28/2023 with these amazing intros, interludes, and outros with beautiful firework shows!! I love them so much I hope they keep coming back to Sacramento in the future!
the event was great ! visuals, lights, lasers, fire, & fireworks was amazing to see !
Thought it would be muddy and wet since it was on a football field but there was a tarp laid down and the grass wasn’t muddy at all. Plenty of bars, portable bathrooms, and plenty of space. Only con is the venue itself wouldn’t allow hydration packs in and I lost it at the end of the night. Production was amazing, film clip visuals ik are part of the tour but kind of out of place, and the bass was bassing. It was the first rave for 3 of my friends, and they loved it. Thx slander for making it a special first rave for them
Overall it was okay but could’ve been better if it didn’t end earlier than what was stated
The venue was nice with seating whenever you are tired but the floors were sticky from all the drinks spilled. Slander themselves played a less than stellar set as it essentially their EDC Las Vegas set with different timings (worse in my opinion). The movie in the beginning and ending of the set kind of took away the experience as well.
As always SLANDER delivered with a great laser show and music. Good mix of headbangers and classics and his new music. Because I'm short couldn't see the video screen very well but the lasers more than made up for it. Best part was the bathroom situation though- very easy to leave the crowd, use the toilet (lines were short or nonexistant) and come back to the same spot
Look I love going to concerts and go to a ton of EDM and metal shows. This show was simply too loud. And they played really hard stuff that isn't what I'm used to at slander shows. Lame. Left halfway through
I felt like this set was all over the place and lacked cohesion. The Moonrise set was wayyyy better.
Road the rails day 2, vibes were great and went hard. I went to both nights and each night was just full of awesomeness can't wait till next time
They were so goood! One of the best concerts I’ve ever been too.
These guys are PROFESSIONALS. Unreal experience. You will not be disappointed
unmatched wild incredible frivolous symmetric SLANDER
The show was absolutely amazing!!! I didn’t want it to end.
The show was AMAZING! I was not expecting it to be as good as it was(stupid me). Slander really showed us who they really were well, more like reminded us. One of the best shows of 2023. Only downside is that I could not feel my feet after.
Toyota music factory NEEDS to bring more edm artists. That place is built for awesome shows and slander and excision and others need to be playing here 2 times a year. So much fun. 10/10
Amazing show. Pit tickets were absolutely worth it. They played a great mix of their sounds and were so engaging and energetic throughout the whole show. Big shoutout to the creative team and designers who produced the show. It was a great mix of video storytelling, lighting design, and a variety of pyro. The confetti cannon finale at the end was awesome! Toyota Music Factory is a nice venue and the bathrooms were clean for a big venue. They had a DJ playing in the courtyard after the show so we were able to enjoy that while we waited for our Uber. Overall 10/10
Friend got ticket stolen cuz it’s made of cheap paper. Needs better wristbands and ways around this type of incident cuz he got kicked out for someone stealing his wristband??? What sick delusional system is this.
Best light show, played big hits, remakes and others. It was an amazing show they put on and very entertaining! Everyone had a blast.
