4 - 5 years ago when I spent a good amount of time visiting LA, I ate Insomniac events up... when there wasn't much in FL outside of MIA. Went to the last EDC at the Coliseum which was simply amazing, checked out TAO with Sasha and Digweed, Deadmau5 dropping an incredible set which at the time ignited his future but at the same time was the beginning of the end of what I thought was his incredible ability to weave melodic tracks. I had the privilege of attending Nocturnal Wonderland in the fall highlighted by Richie Hawtin just blistering the crowd before a man named Ali took the decks and took a small, but astounding step forward, expanding the boundaries of what we knew was techno. When minimal was getting maxed out... This was before the "bubble"....
I thought to myself, this is good, this is nice, I have more access to what I love than I EVER had before...

WTF just happened... Aside from DEMF and Ultra (this year ONLY as 2011 was shit)
My world has been exposed, and is currently being exploited by companies and conglomerations like Insomniac... but actually, it's not my shit... my shit is STILL underground, somehow, it's the big dogs of the trance (if you can still call it that) and electro scene that are doing us a disfavor...
The world of big time festivals is becoming a bastardized, money machine marketed to young folks with absolutely no substance...
and if you're asking yourself what really am I talking about? Take a look at the EDC Orlando lineup...
