Puerto Rico EDC 2012 in Panamerican Pier?

Just how many people can fit into the facility? Will it be enough?

Just take a quick look at this link for the ariel photography of the Panamerican Pier on the World Port Source: Panamerican Pier. Based on last year's reported crowd for EDC and Skrillex in Pablo Sixto Escobar in January, I'd guess at least 15,000 ravers will want to go to the carnival.

I don't know how much of the facility has been cleared, but it needs to host 3 stages, the rides, PLUS 15,000 raging ravers.  Seems like too small of a location.  Change of venues have been a common occurrence with festival like atmospheres. Both EDC 2011 and Skrillex changed venues, it all depends on us.  Ticket sales will most likely drive the venue. So we'll see.

Skrillex in Puerto Rico Shopping Guide

Top choices for raver gear

I really thought Skrillex would be sold out by now. With limited space, many people who went to the Electric Daisy Carnival should be pumped for this opportunity. Skrillex is at the top of his game, and for sure, he's gonna throw down an amazing show.

Luckily there's still plety of time to get your tickets and order only the very best raver apparel. I'm going to order a set for me, right after I finish this.

Raver Blacked Out Gloves



By far, this was the coolest thing I saw at EDC. They just really look like a lot of fun to play with. So, first on the shopping list is a pair of LED tipped raver gloves. It's hard to choose, but I'm an RGB kind of guy. There are a variety of choices. But I'll be sporting the Raver Blacked Out Gloves RGB LED 7 Colors Light Show Gloves. If you look for them, there's a bunch of great videos on YouTube, like this one that show you a little taste. Just imagine:



Light up LED Shutter Shades Multicolor Rockstar Sunglasses



For the next step in mood altering effects, if you're going to be rocking a light show for eveyone to see, then you might as well as be your very own light show. Imagine looking this these babies as a you are completely immersed in a light show! These LED glasses will really get to bouncing when the dubstep gets you jumping. So step two in my raver ensemble is a pair of Light up LED Shutter Shades Multicolor Rockstar Sunglasses.

Red LED Shoelaces Light up Shoe Laces



No ensemble is complete without some lights for your kicks. These Red LED Shoelaces are gonna make my feet look they are on fire when I get to dancing. Uhm, I mean bouncing. As you can see, you've got a variety of colors to choose from. Live a little, can you picture yourself in pink?

Only for serious ravers

Now the dynamic duo I saw at EDC used, what I would call, only for the seriously cool. So if you're seriously cool, then you'll also want to buy an Ultimate Candy Raver LED Pacifier.

For me, there's something about dancing around with a flashing pacifier in my mouth that doesn't seem like the manliest thing to be be doing. Because, the gloves, glasses, and shoelaces are really gonna come of as pretty, maybe too pretty. But, hey, it's in the name of partying as hard as I can at the show, so why not?

Rave: Skrillex in Puerto Rico

I'm really excited that 2012 will kick off with a loud rave courtesy of Skrillex, one of the hottest new DJs to enter the techno scene. On January 4th, 2012 Skillrex will take over the Muelle Panamericano in Puerto Rico, and turn it into a rave scene extraordinaire.


Coors Light is sponsoring this event, so we'll probably be only to buy that crap once inside. Whatever, this is going to be great. In addition to Skrillex, Zedd y Alvin Risk will be throwing down the big bass. Skrillex is part of a new generation of artists that refuses to be restricted by any pre-conceived notions or expectations.

I've heard some describe his music as what it must sound like when Transformers do it. And by do it, I mean hot Transformer on Transformer sex. Skrillex, himself, describes his sound as "a mix of dubstep, electro y glitch, all together."

Background

Like many people, I owe Steve Jobs. I owe him for restoring music back to my life. When I bought one of the first generation iPods back in 2004, it brought music back into my life. Over the course of about 10 years I had stopped listening to much music.

I, like millions of others, listened to only what the radio played or whatever CDs and tapes I carried around in my car. The iPod meant I could load all of my favorite music and listen to it on demand. It was like being rescued off of a deserted island. I couldn't believe how much I missed listening to the soundtrack of my life and not the sponsored soundtrack offered by some local radio stations. Music = Life!

Dubstep and Techno

I love music. I love finding new music. I love the Internet for making my search for new music a joy. So when I came across electronic or techno music I was in heaven. It was like a mash-up of some of my favorite instruments, styles, and sounds. For me, it becomes even more special when you consider that by electronic, much of the sound is coming from computers that are running part of the slow.

Last year when Electric Daisy Carnival came to Puerto Rico, I was kicking myself in the ass for a year, for not going. So when EDC came back in 2011, I was there and it far exceeded my wildest dreams. I hope they bring it back again in 2012, but thanks to this Skrillex event, we'll get our dubstep groove on early in 2012. Tickets are available in Ticketpop under the "baile" section, not conciertos. Go figure. It can't be both?
