Sound Wave Block Party in Scottsdale, 9/21/13

September 22, 2013 4:00AM

Indian Plaza in Scottsdale was awash in a sea of bright lights, thunderous beats, and colorful revelers on Saturday, September 21, as the annual Sound Wave electronic dance music extravaganza unfolded.

This year's edition of festival took the form of a gigantic block party that encompassed three stages and two nightlife venues (Maya and the WET Deck at the W Scottsdale Hotel) and saw such superstar DJs and EDM kings as Tiësto, Porter Robinson, Audien, Danny Avila and Deniz Koyu whipping the 18-and-over crowd of neon-drenched party monsters into a dancing frenzy.
