Rochester doesn’t have a ton of popular gay spaces so this night served as a reminder to locals of the positive environment they can create. The LGBTQ+ vibes were overflowing from the outfits, to the flow arts, and obviously the upbeat dancing. 

Even the openers were representative of the queer community and all its love. Rochester’s local DJ Brian Buttlett kicked off this night and was followed by the producer Eyezic. Then Baby Weight took the stage with their house music tunes steeped in emotional integrity.

Later on Wreckno finally took over the stage with an undeniable presence and ability to bring energy into a crowd almost instantaneously. Dressed in their cheerleader uniform and use of heavy bass, the riveting producer had their fans raging.

Wreckno has popped off just in this last year or so due to their effortlessly catchy songs. Their production skills is without a doubt top tier considering the amount of singles that have charted. Which of course made them obvious songs that fans had to hear live. Some of which includes, “Baseline,” “Medusa,” and “Bounce.”

Wreckno adds another signifier in their music that makes them stand out from the rest which is their rapping. They create fun, sexy, and confident lyrics that make them perfect songs for a love filled room of LGBTQ+ people who just want to have a good time. And that is exactly what happened inside Photo City.

Aside from their own singles, Wreckno also creates countless remixes to popular songs. One of which they performed was a remix from Kim Petras and Alex Chapman’s song “Horsey.” However, nothing got the crowd more hyped up until Wreckno teased some unreleased material with the producer Of the Trees.
