Having survived Day 1 of Electric Daisy Carnival – Orlando<\/em>, we were back out yesterday for Day 2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Opening at the main stage, Florida’s best brand of Techno, based right here in Orlando, is called “Shade<\/em>” and that brand’s head of production began the day on stage here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And that would be DJ Carlos Mendoza (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Getting the blood pumping early, what a great way to start any day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Ditto over at stereoBLOOM<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A Florida-favorite, DJ Edgar V (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A mostly pure House set!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Of course when you’re the opener on any stage, there won’t be a lot of people just yet since the gates had just opened.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
One of our favorite stages yesterday, dedicated all day to Drum & Bass. the Anniversary Art Car<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The circuitGROUNDS <\/em>stage is pretty much Dubstep all day but the opener was interestingly going DnB.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They were hard to see up there…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Duo DJ Fury with MC Dino (USA). When we calculated the results last year, these two have played at more EDC-Orlando <\/em>shows than any other artist. Add one more set to the count.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Even though it was early, more than a handful had already migrated over to this stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the duo had them bouncing. Drum & Bass has really caught-on again and many are discovering it again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Like everyone at Torque<\/em>, the music was at high octane beats-per-minute!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can’t have proper DnB without some narration and that was provided by MC Freak (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The instigator of Torque<\/em>, DJ Circle K (USA) in the center, very grateful for the opportunity to host a stage at EDC<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The crowd at stereoBLOOM <\/em>was “packed to the rafters”!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Ditto at circuitGROUNDS<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For DJ Wilkinson (GB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When he played his set earlier this year at Okeechobee Music Festival,<\/em> he delivered a mostly DnB set but last night there was a surprising amount of EDM in his set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The crowd here too was “packed to the rafters”!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We dropped by the Hall of Mirrors located in VIP at neonGARDEN<\/em>. The EDC <\/em>grounds are full of selfie stops and this is one of them!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Like most of their main stages at EDCO<\/em>, simply amazing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Wow! Come out and see it one last time tonight!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The crowds over at the main stage was already backed out to the two streets that bisect the grounds. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We saw fireworks! We saw flame shooters!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Now based in Los Angeles but originally from London, Ontario, DJ duo\/trio Loud Luxury (CDN).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
To say they were animated for their mostly EDM set would be an understatement!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Coveted spots along the barrier were not to be had unless you had arrived early at stereoBLOOM<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
For DJ Mau P (NL).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
One small disappointment to me was when he played his biggest hit “Drugs From Amsterdam<\/a>” he played a remix rather than the specific version that had made him famous. But we did get the regular version of current hit “Dress Code<\/a>” so I was happy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The baggy wide leg look applies to the guys too!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would play several other hits of his as well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Largest crowd we’ve ever witnessed at stereoBLOOM<\/em>. Come out today for Day 3 and experience it for yourself!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
And then back at the main stage, there he was!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The one we were waiting for all day, DJ Armin van Buuren (NL).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He played some Trance but for the most part he was on the EDM side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Peeps are far as the eye could see!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Clown band passing through!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
