Congrats Marcello! I'm sure you're going to rock it!

Originally posted by ramsau Well.. It's not THAT horrible.. But then again it is. The festival itself is pretty badly arranged (overlapping music, bathrooms are a clusterfuck, entrance to the festival and the lines) but the production is pretty cool. The crowd is way more irritating than anywhere else i've been. UMF seems to have so many kids in there who have no idea how to behave and it can be quite overwhelming sometimes. Last year Underworld and Chemical Brothers were excellent experiences at the main stage (the only acts i went to see there) because the kids didnt know who they were thus there was a lot of space to spare. Same with Trentemoller and Royksopp. I guess my point is if your taste is different from the kids (which i believe you do) i think you're going to be allright. For example I believe UMF saturday will be pretty epic because Sven Vath will be leading the Cocoon stage and I think it wont really attrack the target audience. Which is perfect! More room for me.

Perfectly said. The kids are just that, kids. They are too young to know what is what.

I'm 22 and i think i fall in the "kid" age range lol. But I hate that shit people my age are into. SHM, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, etc. not my cup of tea. I'm excited to see Sven Vath, Adam Beyer, New Order, and Kraftwerk for the first time!

Haha, hell no. It's all ages festival so I was meaning the range of 16-20 with few individual exceptions of course. Mainly the difference isn't age at all, its whether your mature enough or not.

Fuck that kandi shit. I was literally shocked when i saw that the first time.

there's definitely good and bad things about UMF. i went just once in 2010.

it definitely has more of a 'wow' factor that eZoo (which it should, as it's been around longer). the production is incredible and the space/size is at least 3 times bigger than eZoo.

the main reason i didnt go back, as said before, is that too much of the majority of people are younger kids who are basically annoying as hell. push around rudely, suck on lollipops and scream for the shitty DJs we wish weren't here. it got very crowded, the bathrooms were a mess and the food was uber expensive.

on the other hand, they do bring in a bit of great DJs. it's miami, it's WMC and it's a great spot so there is that unique feeling in the air. i wouldn't be against suggesting to check it out once. i really hate that they did away with 1 day tickets, though.

Repost from Florida thread:

While I like to sh*t on Ultra as much as anybody else for its execution, crowds, and such...... I still hold the opinion that if somebody has never been before and is contemplating it, then it is well worth checking out at least once. I am actually somewhat impressed with the initial lineup release this year. I think it would be quite the experience to see Kraftwork live. Add to that New Order, Vath, Fatboy, etc..... and you've got a good mix of legendary names this time around. Not to mention, the Carl Cox tent is an experience in itself and I've always thought the best reason to attend.

Now with all that said, I will not be purchasing a ticket unless Daft Punk gets announced on Phase 2. Since I don't see that happening, I feel hundreds of dollars will be much better spent elsewhere on those days. I've got my fingers crossed that the setup is the same as last year so we can catch Kraftwork on the main stage from our condo.

I agree here. It's an experience to have at least once. However, after that, the club parties are where it's at.

Last year, on the first night of Ultra, Markus Schulz, Wippenberg, and another big DJ I can't remember the name of played in a different club. I can guarentee that would have been 10x better than Ultra.

A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses. - Thomas Bangalter

Looks like there's gonna be a CLR night during WMC! Go to 5:27. It doesn't say the exact date though.

Originally posted by Sedna and Knife Party is alright too (for some reason, the dudes from Pendulum know how to make a genre* of music I can't stand sound pretty good).

damn, dude you just made my day.. I had no idea Knife Party are a couple of dudes from Pendulum... I share your sentiments about dubstep, but I really dig Pendulum and to know they will appear in one shape or form at Ultra made it now so much better because initially I was disappointed that Pendulum wasn't announced for Ultra 2012, lol.

I am returning to the WMC after missing 2010 and 2011. I will at the very least be there for the weekend. I am excited
