Festivals just went zero gravity

Desperados has taken festivals to new heights and reinvented the bass drop at 30,000 feet.

The tequila-flavoured beer brand took a group of revelers into the skies above Las Vegas to throw the first ever zero gravity festival.

Equipped with lights, soundsystem and DJ crew The Barong Family, the in-the-air festival also hosted famed neuroscientist Daniel Levitin, who worked with Barong Family head honcho Mike Cervallo on his song ‘SMACK!’, debuted on the flight.

Cervallo said: “The experience was unreal. With Desperados Bass Drop, I created the biggest bass drop of my life. Working with Daniel Levitin, we stretched the bass of my track to match the parabolas, meaning when the plane dropped, so did the bass, sending the dance floor floating in zero gravity."

Levitin added: “By stretching the perceptual experience, playing with sounds at zero gravity, extending the feeling of weightlessness. This created a new form of the bass drop."
