Live shows

Dada Life is known for their high energy live sets. Dada Life lets loose large inflatables in the shapes of bananas and champagne bottles, which have now become signatures in their live shows.

Dada Life had the honor of opening for the one of the world’s biggest DJ's, Tiësto, on select dates around the globe during his massively successful 2009-2010 Kaleidoscope World Tour.

At Electric Daisy Carnival 2011 in Las Vegas, Dada Life drew a massive crowd and surprised their fans with a live 25-piece marching band to accompany their DJ set. Fans have also been known to be pulled up on stage if they are wearing banana costumes.

Avalon Riot

Dada Life’s popularity has exploded across the globe in the past year, inciting riots at their show at Avalon in Los Angeles on November 5, 2010. People took to the streets when too many people showed up and the club couldn't handle the huge crowd. Bloggers after the show reported: “I even heard Dada Life was denied entrance, obviously in hindsight it was for a good reason. But you know what? Props to Dada Life for causing such a fucking ruckus by coming to Los Angeles, they deserve some points for this.”

Sausage Fattener Plugin

Dada Life premiered their first plugin in May 2011, appropriately titled the Sausage Fattener. After being grilled countlessly on how they get their greasy sounds, they came up with a plugin that hooks up to all formats, which works on a single channel with moderate settings as a musical compressor.

The Sausage Fattener is used by Tiësto, Kaskade, Diplo, Laidback Luke, Chuckie (DJ), Sebastian Ingrosso, Dirty South, Hardwell, Angger Dimas, Frank E, Zedd, Lazy Rich, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, Marcus Schossow, Adam K, John Dahlbäck and many other DJ/producers.^{[citation needed][1]}

The Dada Life Philosophy

Dada Life has their own philosophy: "We are Dada Life. Destroy dance music and have fun. Don’t look back in the past. Always go forward. Don’t think too much. Always follow the money. Do the Dada. The result? Big tunes, no frills."
