Unbelievable, Friday has come and gone and my heart beat is still like “BWAAH BUM-BUM-BUM WHIZZE-WHIZZE WUH WAAAAHHHHH!” How did I get in such a state of excitement you may ask? DJ Mayhem of course! He came and set Opera into a trap. . . . .Well don’t be silly not an actual trap, an E.D.M Trap! His high energy mixes surprised nobody putting them into a hardcore raging frenzy. This Atlanta DJ not only performed but his interaction with the crowd gave it a personal touch. I can still hear the chanting of ATL in my ears.
Mayhem started DJing in the early 2000’s in none other than Atlanta, GA. Although he began as a heavy Drum and Bass DJ, Mayhem has become a forefront for the music movement that we know as TRAP. He has worked with Rap artists such as Tyga, Gucci Mane, Travis Porter, and Trouble.  Mayhem has performed all over the world and in popular festivals such as Tomorrow World and Counterpoint. He has recently been brought back to Atlanta to work on a new music movement that combines TRAP and Dubstep. His passion lies in Drum & Bass and Trap but he has a healthy respect for the crowd as a whole thus incorporating a wide variety of other genres into his sets.
 
We have had the pleasure of having Mayhem perform at our venue before and just like last time he did not disappoint. As soon as he started spinning, the crowd was at an all-time high. We loved every second of the show from his little goat mascot to having his fellow DJ friends perform alongside him. Mayhem’s love for his city and interaction with the crowd won the hearts of everyone, truly making this an epic performance. Opera is honored to have Mayhem represent Atlanta in the E.D.M. World and know that he will do our city proud. If we were blown away with the creation of TRAP, we can’t imagine what he has brewing next but we know it will be of epic proportion. Mayhem creates more than just music, he creates a lifestyle. Life may not be the party we had hoped for, but while we are here we might as well dance! Until next week ATL!
