Tchami and Malaa Deliver Special “No Redemption” Set at EDC Las Vegas 2025

There are moments in dance music when spectacle gives way to something more sacred—when LED panels, fire cannons, and BPMs blur into the emotional core of why we gather beneath the strobes. That’s exactly what unfolded at EDC Las Vegas 2025, as Tchami and Malaa delivered the final chapter of their No Redemption saga, a send-off that didn’t just close a project, but buried a piece of the underground ethos with it.

The French duo’s set at the circuitGROUNDS stage wasn’t just a greatetcst hits victory lap. It was a ritual. Eight years of creative friction, of shadowy sonics and divine drops, culminated in one last sermon preached to a desert congregation of ravers ready to repent—or rage. Tchami, the high priest of future house, and Malaa, the masked phantom of bass-heavy chaos, have long been dance music’s yin and yang. Their chemistry wasn’t just evident in the music they made but in the way they merged distinct energies live: sleek and spiritual on one side, raw and rabid on the other.

Their final set had the density of a closing statement. The duo ripped through key cuts like When The Beat Bang, Underground, N9, and of course, the all-star anthem Made In France with DJ Snake and Mercer. Each drop felt like a farewell note written in decibels.

But it was Malaa’s remix of Linkin Park’s In The End that cracked open the night’s emotional shell. In a genre often dismissed for its cold mechanics, this moment was all heart—Chester Bennington’s immortal hook echoing across the night sky, bouncing off the faces of fans who knew this was a once-only kind of memory.

And then, true to form, Tchami closed the book with Adieu, or at least a layered version of it—part mashup, part meditation. It felt like a curtain call and a curtain drop rolled into one.

Now that their final set lives online in full, it’s worth more than a casual scroll. It’s a requiem. And like any good one, it’s meant to be felt as much as heard.

The underground might not have been saved, but it was honored. And for those of us lucky enough to witness it, that was redemption enough.
