3. PASQUALE ROTELLA, 40
Founder, Insomniac Events
The founder of Los Angeles-based Insomniac Events has been in the scene since dance's early-'90s boom, and is now widely credited as the man who brought raves back. Insomniac's last two versions of the Las Vegas Electric Daisy Carnival, the biggest and most influential dance event in the world, sold out 400,000 tickets before announcing a single artist. In 2013, Live Nation bought half of Insomniac, which also runs several clubs and a dozen other key festivals, for an estimated $50 million. In 2014, Rotella started Insomniac Records as a joint venture with Interscope. He's currently in talks to expand the EDC brand to several international markets.
Role Model: Walt Disney
Best Thing About Dance in 2015: "It's not the same as in 2014, and that's a good thing. Music genres die if they get stagnant." |
