Totems must be made from a lightweight material e. PVC, light wood or aluminum poles must be no thicker than 1 inch in diameter. They were tearing through jams and almost-forgotten gems that practically put Chicago, Paris, Miami and other scenes on the map. Everyone knows what to expect from an Excision set. He promises to rattle the bassbins and get the headbangers riled up like the best of them.

But the real draw was the following day when he fired up the decks at bassPOD and turned everyone on to a lesser-known side. With the sure-fire bangers and massive dubstep rumblers already accounted for, Excision was given some extra wiggle room to dive into the deep cuts and expose some of the experimental, lesser-known artists who are keeping the bass scene on its toes. But HARD has spent mad time putting people up on hip-hop and dance music alike. One of the most raved about projects this year is Virtual Self, the pseudonym for Porter Robinson.

His greatest trick was taking iconic sounds and making them feel both familiar and foreign all at once. While the lineup had more high-profile and hotly-tipped solo sets than one can comfortably fit into their schedule, it was all the b2b business that provided the biggest bang for your buck.

These back-to-back bookings have become somewhat of a calling card for EDC in recent years, and was the year we doubled-down on this front. Each stage had its own unique pairings, which ultimately play out like a once-in-a-lifetime affair. The most impressive one in my book was seeing Green Velvet, Gorgon City and Detlef one-up each other all night with tech cuts that had the discerning folks reaching for the sky until the crack of dawn.

Besides giving Headliners the option to bypass the early morning trek back to the Strip each day, Camp EDC tapped into a whole new class of festivaling that shorter operating hours would not allow. On that list is consciousness-expanding talks and workshops, daily yoga sessions co-starring baby goats who helped you perfect those poses—yes, we said GOATS , and community building exercises that will only help our the culture we love thrive and survive.

All in all, it was a nice change of pace for EDC, one that places the future of the festival in an open-ended equation for new growth and possibilities. May Was THE Move While some might have doubted the decision to bump the festival a month earlier than its usual time in June, we must say that May is far kinder than its next door neighbor. Opening Ceremony Made So Much Sense The gates creaked open a few hours earlier than normal this year, which meant Headliners could squeeze in a little more sunshine into their daily routine.

New Art, Who Dis? Ookay Calls on the Smooth Jazz King While Ookay was eating up all of the hype for his Sunday set as part of the Binches, backed by Dotcom, Kayzo, Yultron and himself, his solo outing on Saturday almost broke the internet.

New to the festival this year, Headliners will also be treated to early-entry opening ceremonies on the cosmicMEADOW lawn beginning daily at 4 p. Search Events. Artist Feature 3. Features Festival Friday Roundup 3. Festival Recap 2. Front Gate Playlists 2.
