The Electronic Daisy Carnival Experience

Insomniac hosts an another incredible experience in Puerto Rico

Dancers + Datsik = Awesome

It's been some 30 hours since Electronic Daisy Carnival, and I have to admit: "I'm still reeling from such an intense experience."  I still can't hear out of my right ear, I still can't seem to drink enough water, my arms and legs ache, and I've still got to go through some 2,700 photographs I took during EDC.

One of the things that Insomniac understands is generating engagement (involvement) by appealing to multi-sensory experiences.  As they put it, they are not concert producers. they are experience creators.  From the props, to the costumes; from the rides to the art; from the dancers to the light shows, an Electric Daisy Carnival is like no other event you will ever attend. 

No matter how crazy fans may get, their events seem to be able to harness an audience's emotions and reflect it back to them in a way that creates an electrifying experience.  At least for this humble photographer, I'd have to say that this year's Electric Daisy Carnival was one of the best moments of my life.

Thanks to everyone involved and there is a lot more to come.

Datsik & Linkin Park on SoundCloud

Popular DubStep Producer Set to Play Electric Daisy Carnival

If you haven't heard of SoundCloud, then you're in for a treat. According to their website, SoundCloud is the world’s leading social sound platform where anyone can create sounds and share them everywhere.

Recording and uploading sounds to SoundCloud lets people easily share them privately with their friends or publicly to blogs, sites and social networks.

An example of this slick sharing is the ability to embed a track on a website.  Here is one of Datsik's latest, a remix of Linkin Park's "Until it Breaks." Very cool...

Nice background Interview with DatsiK

My teenage daughters do it. My 8 yr old does and I have to confess. I do it too!

Whenever I get hooked by a new artist, I've got to know more about them. I (we) start looking for other videos, maybe interviews, maybe a backstage perspective. I love learning about what artists think about themselves and their influences.

So that's what I've been doing for DatsiK. In this nugget I found in the archives of Spinner Magazine. It's an interview with DatsiK he shares his experience participating with music festivals, his roots, and guily pleasures:

After first hearing the punishing bass of the dubstep sound on ginormous outdoor festival speakers, DJ/producer Datsik was hooked like a junkie with his first hit. Ever since, Datsik has still been in search of that perfect high, playing with some of the top performers on the circuit, driven to create more and more boundary-pushing bass music.

Thanks Spinner!

DatSik Coming to Puerto Rico!

Dubstep's "darkest and most robotic," "funkiest and most gangster," and "dirtiest" DJ is coming to EDC 2012!

For me as soon as I saw the line-up announced for Electric Daisy Carnival 2012, the name that jumped right out at me was DatSik.  For those of you who haven't had the pleasure:
