About ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL:
As the world�s most famous outdoor electronic music event, UMF has won �Best Music
Event� by the International Dance Music Awards (IDMA) in 2009, 2008, 2007 & 2005,
�Best International Dance Music Festival� by the Ibiza DJ Awards in 2008 and �Best

Originally created as a pure EDM (electronic dance music) festival in 1999 by founders
Russell Faibisch and Alex Omes, who teamed up five years ago with Adam Russakoff,
Ultra has grown over time to present not only the genre�s hottest, biggest and best
headline artists (The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Tiesto, Underworld, MOBY,
Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Paul van Dyk, David Guetta, Armin Van Buuren, Erick Morillo,
Deadmau5 and Paul Oakenfold, to name a few), but also crossover headline bands that
incorporate EDM elements in their music and have a history, or new beginning in the
EDM community and culture (The Cure, The Killers, The Black Eyed Peas, Santogold,
The Ting Tings, The Bravery).
Tapped �Best Overall Event� by URB.COM and heralded by the Los Angeles Times as
bringing �out raucous revelers as well as electronica�s elite,� UMF had its biggest year
yet in 2009. With a line-up that included the launch of The Black Eyed Peas� massive

In addition to the annual Miami festival, UMF has expanded internationally. Look for

According to my friend who co-produces Ultra the final negotiations for the line up (and ultra carry on) are being done this week and should be out by next week, possibly earlier if things go smoothly.

Liking this, very much. As long as they get a decent set. 1 hour = fail.

Faithless soundsystem is INSANITY.
I'm on the verge of crying b/c i'll miss this...
hopefully they'll do some shows in other states following Ultra.
Anyone going to ultra, you MUST MUST MUST check out Faithless--its the roots of our culture, the smoothest voice in electronic, and just plain sick.
