EDM (short for electronic dance music) concerts have been getting more and more involved over the years.
A quick glance through YouTube videos ofmusic festivals like EDCshows eye-popping digital visuals, ornate themed stages, and oodles of go-go dancers decked out in elaborate costumes.
However, some artists put more effort into their visuals than others — and Canadian DJ ‘Excision’ is one of those artists.
Excision goes viral on TikTok for Shrek-themed concert visuals
Excision’s visuals are nothing short of mind-blowing, elevating the usual EDM experience into a fully-fledged roller coaster of sound and spectacle… but his latest visual feat is sending some netizens for a loop.
Recently, a clip from one of Excision’s live performances wentviral on TikTok,showing an ‘evil Shrek’ roaring out at the crowd.
While Excision fans know this is par for the course for the EDM giant, others claimthey’d be “terrified”to see a giant, malevolent Shrek at such a concert.
In fact, Shrek has been a major movement in EDM circles, as fans of the green ogre have even heldShrek-themed ravesfor quite a few years now.
This is just the latest viral Shrek moment to take over the internet — although it seems not everyone is a fan of this one.
