Ive been waiting for my friend to send me my high res photo’s from Electric Zoo before I posted this blog, but I can’t wait any longer.
Finally New York has a Electronic Festival that they can look forward to annually, it’s about time. My first day at the Zoo reminded me of my first time at UMF minus the lines. I went straight to the media tent to get my tickets and media bracelets and realized pretty quick that it was the perfect weather, time, and location for this event. I read the line up for Day 1 over again as soon as I got situated inside, I was stoked. When you have Busy P, Deadmau5, DJ Mehdi, Kaskade, Benny Benassi, Steve Aoki & David Guetta all on one small island in the middle of NYC you quickly realize you are in for a ridiculous evening.
All of these people would agreeBut we all know, a huge Electronic music festival wouldn’t be the same without these individuals.
Don’t forget this guy!
I do have to say though, for the extremely small amount of advertisement Made did for Electric Zoo a LOT of people made it out there to Randall’s Island. One thing that stood out to me about this Festival compared to UMF. I didn’t leave spending over $100 dollars just on food and water! There was also numerous vendors handing out free shitty tasting drinks for the slackers who didn’t realize they would need to bring cash to such a place. Calcium enhanced sodas to be exact; tasted like 1/2 Milk 1/2 Mountain Dew. My favorite performances from Day 1 happened to all be on the same stage, lucky me.
DJ Mehdi and Busy P dedicated a few of their songs to DJ AM (not officially, but I know). Of course blasting his infamous track, To Protect and Entertain Busy P had an intense set. Mehdi and Busy P shared their set times while mixing together coming up with some real potential club bangers. Over all I was 100% pleased with their sets. If you saw Steve Aoki any of the times he has stopped in Orlando and were pleased with his performance, you really missed out then. He played a bunch of fresh tracks im assuming were made with Bob Rifo judging by the style of the stuff that stood out (aka Rifoki). He couldn’t end his set without playing Warp, of course.*wonders if Warp 1.9 will soon join the list of songs to not be played in a club after 2009*
Main Stage, crowd is only 1/3 of what it reached later in the night at this point.Deadmau5
The only reason I went to Day 2 was David Guetta, of course my camera battery was dead so I couldn’t catch any photo’s of this insane show. I was more impressed by the lazers than Guetta’s selection of songs aka top 40 playlist, then again I don’t know what else I expected. Either way, I loved every minute of it.Popularity: 58% [?]
