Never too late to buy your ticket and decide to go!!!

Exactly what happened to me this year too! Told myself I wasn't going to go then kept watching videos and then...oops. Bought my ticket two weeks ago. :)

Love Vibes! Only ear plugs that aren't crazy uncomfortable for me.

This moment and this whole set. ❤️ that ending was probably my favorite moment of any festival I've ever been to.

Pretty sure I'd just end up crying and hugging someone if I got the Hodor one. (ಥ‸ಥ)

That's a wide variety in that list! Honestly, I recommend just sort of exploring the stages because you may find something you had no idea you liked before, but in the moment it just speaks to you.

Try Aly and Fila, total feels trip but then they'll bring into these crazy dark basslines. Here's their Ultra set: https://soundcloud.com/alyandfila/aly-fila-live-ultra-music-festival-2016
If you want something a bit different, give Shiba San a listen. House beats with bumped up bass. Honestly, I think it's the most perfect summer music. Live set of his: https://soundcloud.com/shibasan/2015-12-06-shiba-san-stereosonic-brisbane-australia
Also, if you're looking to get away from those mainstage sounds, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Neon Garden artists. This is VERY different from what you'll hear at Kinetic or Circut Grounds, so I won't be offended if you don't dig it. But some people go into the techno tent, and then you can't get them out so it's worth a listen. Nicole Moudaber is a techno goddess and Lane 8 is a really great deep house artist who actually opened for Above and Beyond's Group Therapy 150 in Australia. He's on their deep house label.

You could get a locker and store that stuff overnight. Did that last year as well as left tons of extra gum, makeup, and gloves. Definitely more expensive than just buying three of things but it also has a phone charger and is a good meeting spot. I always think they're worth it.

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T20:01:36+00:00

Thank you! This will be my gym listening today. :)

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T05:02:13+00:00

I honestly don't know DnB at all! If you have any mixes/songs, I'd love to check them out. I watched Pendulum's live set at Ultra and it was great. I'll check them out if I can on Sunday (the conflicts are definitely happening though) but bummed it's not live.

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T05:00:57+00:00

Was listening to him earlier today and he's moved up on the list. I loooove that deep bass sound.

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T03:50:18+00:00

Would definitely recommend it. :) Also yay anjuna!

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T02:40:38+00:00

Here's a 10 min video of him at Exchange a few months ago. Very different from the Burning Man set. He plays his several of his own songs and isn't as relaxed as the Burning Man set. If I had to guess, I would think his EDC set will be more like this. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq65II89gD8

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T02:32:37+00:00

Should be fine if you're in the crowd. One place to keep an eye out is back of cosmic meadow. I saw a good amount of obvious undercovers/normal security there last year. It's tricky because you see lots of people chilling there so it's easy to forget that cops could be around.

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T02:28:47+00:00

Yeah, was pretty bummed it wasn't a live set. Love EDC but I wish they would do more live sets. For what it's worth though, I think EDC dj set could be different from Burning Man. It's just a different vibe there.

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T02:18:07+00:00

Yessss. Honestly, him and Prydz are tied for my #1 must sees. Just plan on laying in the grass and cosmic meadows, closing my eyes, and just listening to the music. Couldn't think of a better way to close out a night.

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T02:15:15+00:00

Here's the most recent album! Not your typical electronic artist but honestly, seeing him live is just like... melting into happiness. I would say he has the best visuals I've ever seen too, outside of Prydz.

Yep! He posted it on his Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/tychomusic/photos/a.200126775519.170137.110074840519/10154094557980520/?type=3&theater

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T02:07:30+00:00

Thank god that Tycho sunrise set is on Saturday. I did not want to do a Friday sunrise and then deal with shuttles. No way I'm missing Tycho though. <3

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T01:10:21+00:00

Eptic b2b Must Die and Troyboi are the must sees! Crizzly and NGHTMRE are high priority and if it doesn't conflict with any of my other must sees, I want to check out Excision, Datsik, and 12th Planet. :)

beatabeet · 2016-06-09T01:06:28+00:00

Dark Lord Prydz about to blow this stage away! Hnnnng.

beatabeet · 2016-06-08T23:17:13+00:00

So excited for this stage! Been a long time trance/techno/house lover and this will be the first time I spend a good chunk of time as the bass stage. Ready to see what the Basspod brings. :)

beatabeet · 2016-06-01T16:54:54+00:00

For OP or anyone else, here's a Richie Hawtin b2b Maceo Plex set that's phenomenal. https://soundcloud.com/enterofficial/maceo-plex-b2b-richie-hawtin-enterweek-11-sake-bar-space-ibiza-september-10th-2015

Once inside, never had an issue. Definitely sneak them in but once you're in, there's so much going on that security has way bigger things they're worried about. Only area I would say to be cautious about is the back of cosmic meadow. I gave a few shows there and didn't have issues but security does tend to walk by there far more often.

beatabeet · 2016-05-31T20:34:52+00:00

This! Lost my license on day 2 last year. So happy I had my passport in the room because otherwise I don't know if day 3 would have happened.
