Meet the Producers of Electronic Opus: BT
Taking over the Adrienne Arsht Center of Performing Arts in downtown Miami, the multi-faceted talents of BT collide with dazzling symphony arrangements as Electronic Opus makes its debut at Winter Music Conference.
Opus isn’t just a treat for the ears – the multimedia show also features custom 3D-mapped projections and holographic displays, making for a one-of-a-kind entertainment experience that’s a feast for the eyes as well. Each component of the show has been re-imagined exclusively for this special endeavor and we want to highlight the minds bringing it all together. First up – BT.
An Opus of the Past
BT is a familiar name to dance music fans; the Grammy nominated craftsman has been stretching electronic music to its technical breaking point for two decades, whether it be for his own productions or for his efforts with a variety of other artists like Paul van Dyk, Peter Gabriel, Tori Amos, Depeche Mode, The Roots, and even Madonna.
Having composed original scores for TV and films like The Fast and the Furious and Monster on a variety of instruments, often using instruments that he’s altered himself, BT’s talents go far beyond that of an average producer; he’s a composer, technology enthusiast, multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter too. For Electronic Opus, BT brings his vocal, guitar, pianos, or of course, DJ skills to the main stage.

‘Hurricane’ Season Comes Early as Adventure Club Hits Florida With a Set of Tour Dates
One of bass music’s hottest acts this side of the Atlantic, Canadian duo, Adventure Club is making their rounds through the Sunshine State bringing their self-coined clubstep sound to a city near you!
We first started getting down to Adventure Club back in 2012 after their breakout edit of Flight Facilities “Crave You,” but these two BFFs have been palling around since their high school days, long before honing their mutual production prowess. Amassing a devout following largely due to their free music model, Adventure Club have made a name for themselves by giving us a massive, well-constructed library of tunes to listen to while remaining humble through the journey.
In the same vein of their latest remix of MS MR, “Hurricane” season hits Florida a little early as Adventure Club to storm through the state with a string of local shows, brought to you by Disco Donnie Presents. Join us on our partnering dates.

BT's Electronic Opus Prepares to Dazzle Miami Winter Music Conference
This year, as we celebrate 30 years of Miami’s Winter Music Conference, take a step inside BT’s Electronic Opus where the power of dance music merges with the power of the symphony orchestra. Taking over the Adrienne Arsht Center of Performing Arts in downtown Miami, the show features music from multi-platinum producer BT, re-imagined exclusively for this special endeavor brought to you by the help of Disco Donnie Presents and TanZ Group.
Electronic Opus is a multimedia show the likes of which the world has never seen. Pairing orchestras and dazzling symphony arrangements with the multi-faceted talents of BT; whether it be vocals, guitar, or pianos. And the finest visual production around.
Electronic Opus’ “Apollo” production forms the most ambitious live experience the dance music world has ever seen. Created by the highly sought after, Volvox Labs, the visual spectacle is focused around an unprecedented mixture of volumetric 3D mapping, holographic displays and interactive, motion sensor, and audio reactive technologies.
The 3D-mapped projections will be hosted on a 55′ custom built, topographic and geometric wall, creating a groundbreaking, one of a kind experience. Next, Microsoft’s XBox Kinect program leads the interactive segments of the event, incorporating audio and human gesture reactive visuals to form an explosive, unique entertainment experience. Finally, Volvox labs have created special, never-before-seen, “Magic Glass” displays that one minute are not there, and the next come to life in an explosive display of color and beauty. You do not want to miss this ground breaking achievement!
