“Welcome Home Headliners” from last night’s drone show.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was Day 3 of Electric Daisy Carnival – Orlando<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The entry lines never got too long. They had a very efficient system of getting everyone through.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Since it was adjacent the entry gates, we began our Sunday at the neonGARDEN stage<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A handful of like-minded people did the same.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Opening set from Toronto-based DJ Zorza (CDN). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Her set a mix of House and Techno.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Directly across, the kineticFIELD <\/em>main stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Opening set from DJ Jake Silva (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Thought we had seen him somewhere previously but couldn’t find a record of it. He played a mix of House and EDM. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lots of capacity remaining over at stereoBLOOM<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Luccio (USA) delivering both vocal and nonvocal Trance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Whenever there’s a Trance show in Orlando, you can count on this Miami-based DJ to be a part of it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Made-up of shipping containers, this wall serves as a sound barrier between the stereoBLOOM and circuitGROUNDS <\/em>stages.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A few had arrived for the opening set here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Chicago-based DJ Align (USA) playing House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The circuitGROUNDS <\/em>stage was primarily Dubstep\/Heavy Bass during the first two days of EDC <\/em>but went mostly House and EDM for Day 3. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
EDC<\/em>‘s version of the Dubai “Frame”<\/a> building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back to the mainstage!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time seeing DJ Xandra (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Her set too was mostly EDM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A crowd was slowly building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It would get packed for later sets by Illenium (USA) and Galantis (S).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
People always ask what’s the difference between GA tickets and GA+ tickets. The main difference is when you need to use the loo, GA gets port-o-potties. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While GA+ gets air conditioned trailers!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was soon 2PM and time for a visit to Casa Bacardi<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Facing the rear lawn of the building, the opening DJ was on duty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
California-based DJ Fredy Fresco (USA) was playing House and Latin House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Not that many up here yet but later in the day there was a half-hour queue to get upstairs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There’s no ladder. They have to be able to physically climb that flexible pole to get up there!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The stereoBLOOM <\/em>stage would go Trance all day Sunday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the crowd was building for these first Trance sets of the festival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Chicago-based DJ Miyuki (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She opened with some Hard Trance but then migrated over to more Uplifting Trance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
People standing in the shade wherever they could find some.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The circuitGROUNDS <\/em>stage is kind of the alternate main stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Mary Droppinz (USA) “dropping” a mostly House set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
View from VIP.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She had played a Breaks set this past December at Iron Cow<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Absolutely stunning at night but really beautiful by day too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Space 92 (F)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set a mix of House, EDM and even Techno-sounding at times.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Thank you to everyone for your poses!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Returning to the GARDEN<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
An absolutely fascinating set from this guy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Charlie Sparks (GB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would mix DnB, Trance, Psytrance, Acid House, Hard Dance…..it was hard to keep up!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We slowly approached back to kineticFIELD <\/em>because it was getting noticeably more crowded. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And the first big name of the day was playing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Cedric Gervais (F)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We don’t recall him playing at EDC-Orlando<\/em> since 2013 when he also played on the kineticFIELD <\/em>stage. Back in those days the kF<\/em> stage was the one adjacent the stadium in Tinker Field<\/em> but the stages got so large they had to move it over here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
No surprises here…..mostly EDM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Casa Bacardi<\/em> has existed at EDC <\/em>for a few years now but this is the first year they had DJ’s. It’s a brilliant marketing move on their part and you can see how popular it is.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Back on the decks, Miami-based DJ Edgar V (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had played Friday over on the stereoBLOOM<\/em> stage. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Edgar V had the crowd bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Actually, they were going crazy down there for his House\/Latin House set!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As the sun set and the lights came on, stereoBLOOM <\/em>was looking impressive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First time ever seeing Montreal-based DJ TDJ (CDN).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lots of vocal Trance had the crowd swaying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Another visit to the neonGARDEN<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A fascinating fast-paced set from Berlin-based DJ Patrick Mason (D). He’s super-energetic with his hand motions, body motions, mouth motions, dance motions! So impressive!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A Techno version of the old 2 Live Crew (USA) song “Face Down Ass Up, That’s The Way We Love To Fuck” had him dry humping the monitors next to him!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Patrick Mason was the first of three DJ’s in-a-row from Techno capital Berlin playing on this stage. He would be followed by DJ Klangkuenstler (D) and DJ Kobosil (D). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was already 5:30PM and circuitGROUNDS <\/em>was completely mobbed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And daytime was turning into nighttime. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Alesso (S) doing his sunset set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
An all-EDM set which included his own bangers such as “Heroes” and “If I Lose Myself” along with other’s songs such as the classic “Sandstorm”. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was throwing down fire!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Alesso had played locally at Gilt Concert Venue<\/em> back in 2021. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
His set was like listening to Sirius\/XM<\/em> channel 52 “BPM<\/em>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Mi casa, su casa!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Eran Hersh (IL)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House and Latin House, of course.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dancing upstairs!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dancing downstairs! This was such a fun stage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And it got really jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
At this point we took our union-mandated dinner break and then decided we’d had enough. Sets by Cosmic Gate (D), ATB (D) and John Summit (USA) would be missed. A lot of people were saying this was the best EDC-Orlando<\/em> yet and it may well have been. What’s next? A $400M renovation of Camping World Stadium <\/em>will begin sometime next year which could impact Tinker Field<\/em>. The goal is to have that project finished by 2027 so that the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/em> of the National Football League<\/em> could possibly play their 2027 season here during their <\/em>stadium rebuild that year. We’ve heard rumors about EDC-Orlando <\/em>relocating to Daytona Beach either next year or in two years. Update<\/strong>: Insomniac <\/em>is now advertising EDC <\/em>as happening in 2025 here at Tinker Field<\/em>, so that’s great news. LINK<\/a> We’ll keep you updated on any additional news. At EDC-Orlando<\/em> this past weekend, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
