Early reviews

Tell us what's up.

Any fun stuff?

Good events?

Songs?

Holy shit the Carl Cox Tent is ridiculous this year. The production in that tent alone blows everything away (even the mainstage). Here's a checklist:

Lasers: Check!
Kryo Machines: Check!
Kryo-Man: Check! (He gets attached to a hook and lifted and moved over the crowd while blasting us with cool air!)
Transforming Tent: Check! (The honeycomb pattern panels come from the very top and can lower down within 6-7 feet of the crowd!)
Bubble Machine: Check! (When they used this it looked like it was snowing)
Vibe: CHECK! (Room to dance!)

This is the main reason I come to Ultra, for this tent and man did Coxy bring it. I brought a friend that never listed to Carl before and he stayed the entire 2 hour set haha. I think I may have converted an electro house fan to some house/tech-house.

Was watching the live stream and it looks sick! Last year was cool in there, but they really did step it up a notch with the adjustable honeycomb with the graphics inside this year.

Yeah it was amazing. Worth every penny spent to see that setup with Coxy and all those dudes. Tonight is Nicole Moudaber and Richie, plus a 3 hour set from Cox himself!

Yep, that is why I go every year. Didn't even bother to go to Main stage last year as couldn't care less for the cheesEDM that they have booked on it.

I was watching the live stream, the vibe looks so fun.

It didnt look that packed at all in there, i hope it stays like that for weekend 2 when im there.

Also, im reading ppl say no free water, wats up wit that?

O rly? Thought it was free water and wi-fi this year?

Looks sick as fuck. Even better than last year. Wow.

Can't wait until next week. Definitely the best produced festival in the U.S. EDC has nothing on that.

Definitely do not miss Nicole Moudaber. To me there's only a handful of DJs that are spinning better shit than her right now. The show tonight at the Cox tent might be one of the best since that thing got started several years ago.

sweet baby jesus carl cox!

Any reviews on day 2 ultra..security check?

Wow, great videos Pantone.

Just woke up and about to head to work for a few before coming back and resting up for tonight.

Security Check at Ultra: Lol wtf is that? Seriously though I had a camelbak full of chapstick, food, and other things but they never looked they just glimpsed in and moved me along. Line went so fast it was ridiculous. Still try to hide your stuff, whatever that may be, you never know when you'll get the one security person who wants to care.

As for the water, it is free, but they don't really advertise the water stations and to my knowledge the only one was near the bathrooms in the underground portion by the Klipsch Amphitheater. Nothing like EDC though with the machines and all that its just some shitty little faucets and you can use the bathroom sinks as well. Oh well, Free is free.

So yeah yesterday I went back at noon and stayed til 11:30. Line was super fast and the day was another perfect weather day for Ultra. Nice and cool and sometimes a slight breeze.

I stayed in the Cox tent for most of the time but I did hang out at the Bedrock Stage because its secluded and had lots of shade so I just laid down and rested while jamming out to some Bedrock Artists and Digweed. This stage is the best kept secret at Ultra. Not to many people and usually they are playing something non commercial.

The Tent again was rocking, I saw most everybody on the lineup minus Uto Karem but that's ok. Man, I'll tell you what when Nicole started playing I noticed a surge of attendees just running to the stage. She was smashing the tent apart and going hard. Unbelievable set from her. Carl once again smashed it all up with his music and his energy, nothing new there . Richie really took it to another level, I think his intro is about 3 minutes long (I have a video!) and he just banged it out the crowd was definitely feeling it.

See you next year Carl Cox Tent! You are always 100% going to be the best party at Ultra for me.

P.S. I'm also jealous of those going next week, can you imagine seeing Cirez D in that tent?

Nicole


Carl


Richie

nice vids...what kind of camera do you use?

Hate to say it but Ultra is amazing this year, I haven't been in awhile. Treehouse is slamming too. I picked up Marco Bailey yesterday from the airport with his girlfriend. He was closing the Bedrock stage at Ultra. After Ultra we went to eat and then to Mansion for Sharam's party. Marco was also closing after Sharam. Wow, what a party, it was slammed.

I was using my iPhone 4S. The sound distortion isn't bad if you just space yourself from the speakers. Only problem is shooting night video, looks a bit grainy but oh well.

Reset pool party at the Carlton rained out this afternoon... Huge storm coming through. Looks like possibly rain tomorrow, I wish y'all the best of luck going to pool parties tomorrow.

Damn Pantone those videos make me wanna go there now.
I can't wait to be in that tent... And to know that Cirez D will be playing there on Saturday.. oh man, oh man...

This is what Prydz said on his facebook:

"I have Cirez D with me on the tour bus.
In a cage..

Expect darkness."

Life and death was great last night, venue was sick. Only bad thing was tale of us spun and it wasn't us but me instead. One of them didn't spin.

OMG. SLS was a shit show venue.

Get organized peoples.
