Great day, finally just got home, gonna die for a bit now.
Afterparty was some of the strangest, creepy and awesome music I've ever heard! :nervous:
How does one lose a pair of shoes at the island, that they were wearing?!
Great seeing so many familiar and friendly faces with great weather! |

But not quite sunny enough to warrant a weird sun screen rub down. Lol. :/ |

Tunes were good all day IMO. Would have preferred longer / extended sets from the headliners (Dixon) but besides that I can't find any faults with the party.
Another quality Electric Island event. |

| Could just be my preference but Dixon and Tennis put me to sleep - I just don't get the hype around them. Thought the same thing at BPM and Coda. |

I thought the Canada Days addition was awesome. Really fun, the atmosphere felt different... my friend decribed it like being at a theme park, minus the rides... It wasnt as busy as last month... there was porta pottys by the entrance... the ping pong table was nice touch... as well as the tv's for the world cup game...
the music was on point... highly enjoyed it... I lost the plot when Damian Lazrus ft Ancient Moons - Lovers Eyes was dropped!
The only problem was paying $50 at the door... but thats my bad from not buying them early...
Really excited for Seth Troxler, MJC, and Bob Moses, hopefully we get another name added on! |

| Hopefully not... another added dj would just shorten troxler or mjc set. |

Henrik Schwarz set was amazing but I knew that before going :)
Some repeats in his set but it felt like I never heard those songs before, I love the quality in his music. |

| Sven vath set the bar too high with his set, i need more techno madness. Also knowing I missed tenaglia's marathon kinda disappointed me too. Had a good time no doubt but there was no memorable set for me |

Like I said before, loved the island, great vibes all around I thought. I think everyone is getting so picky with expecting everything to be perfect at their optimum taste. Sound, people, weather. I had some run ins with some unsavoury people, wished it was a bit louder at times etc. I can only imagine the logistical nightmare of moving a club essentially to an island on a holiday, and presumably lots of red tape, and I think everyone involved deserves a much deserved pat on the back for what they did. This was my 3rd island, 1st this year. Each time I feel they're doing better and better overall.
Tales of Us were my favourite so far from last year, but like mentioned above, overall vibe and organization was astounding how well done it was and seems to be improving party to party.
I think Tennis could have easily been the headliner, he was on point, especially at the afterparty. First time for Henrik, was very enjoyable, I think MarBros are overrated, but they still threw it down, Dixon was good, but I had the bar set much higher from my Detroit experience from him at the festival and Old Miami only a month or so ago.
I don't think sound is the promoter's fault, I highly doubt with the calibre of bookings and parties they do, that they would voluntarily hold back on that if they didn't have to for some reason.
One other thing, were there like 3 different groups of security? I saw the grey shirts managing the doors and bathrooms, then a few red shirts who seemed to rule over them all, then a few blue shirts who were in a small trio seemingly randomly asking people to empty their pockets?
Finally, shot out to Alex for his continued hard work and hospitality this weekend.
AND lastly, was I wrong in assuming Maceo was supposed to be Civic? Or did I get the wrong information from many people about the same thing? *fingers-crossed* for Labour Day! |
