Chris Kuroda Lights Up Martin Garrix DJ Set

Phish lighting master Chris Kuroda was recently recruited by 17-year-old phenom Martin Garrix for the young DJ’s consecutive weekend appearances at Coachella. Kuroda is well known within the Phish community, and was recently working with Justin Bieber.

Both Garrix and Bieber are managed by Scooter Braun, so the collaboration isn’t totally out of left field.

You can watch some of the Garrix Coachella set here:

In an interview with Elle, Garrix commented on Kuroda’s involvement, saying, “I was so happy! We invested a lot of money in production. All the big shows, the really important shows, we’re going to fly in [Justin Bieber and Phish lighting guru Chris Kuroda]/ Those are like rock-music shows, with the lasers and stuff. Yesterday, with everybody in the crowd, I was like ‘Holy fucking shit!'”

Kuroda is set to work with Phish for their upcoming appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
