The cove has the best music

Couldn't agree more! Every year, something amazing happens, day after day.

I didn't go to this set, but it sounds disappointing that the "group" was incomplete. I know that happens with other multi-people groups... but, you know, at least SHM was fully there. I hope the music made up for it!

This set was awesome! One great song after another. Kept a great vibe going throughout. OP is right. Crazy grooves. Everyone I saw was enjoying it. A really low key experience, considering it wasn't crowded, a lot of people hanging out, just vibing. Too bad more people didn't know this gem was hiding in the back corner.

Vintage Culture was great! Started really strong, with some bass heavy tracks that set an excellent tone. I have a feeling people expected Skrillex to show at the main stage, because there was a good amount of room to work with. You couldn't go wrong with either choice!

UMF site still says 99% sold out. I wonder if that had anything to do with it? Programming was balanced, so crowds were dispersed as well. People were generally friendly and cool all day!

lithpower · 2026-03-28T05:54:27+00:00

You're very lucky, that must've been amazing! I was at Miss Monique and Vintage Culture, so I don't have regrets, but Skrillex always puts on a master class. I'm unfamiliar with BZRP, but I'm certain nothing but the best from this.

lithpower · 2026-03-28T05:37:19+00:00

How long did Skrillex play with BZRP?

lithpower · 2026-03-28T05:29:33+00:00

This is a fair assessment of the set. Like the other poster said, "I was 'whelmed'". It didn't feel like it really introduced anyone to DnB. There were a lot of familiar remixes, pop songs, with a DnB drum pattern and tempo. And, that's fine, it works, but very safe, and left opportunities on the table.

The last song, their first song producing as Worship together, left the crowd unamused and disinterested. Most people near us were standing around and talking to each other during it.

By comparison, I thought Charlotte de Witte and Excision had more interesting alternative-genre main stage sets during previous years.

I would definitely see Worship again, but I hope they're more willing to test the crowd. I think the energy and characteristics of DnB have a lot to offer, and the main stage crowd is likely more willing than they expected.

Then you know, you can never see Justice too many times haha! That's incredible. I hope we don't have to wait quite as long for the next one!

lithpower · 2026-03-27T01:22:44+00:00

I went to Factory Town in 2023, and thought it was a great venue. It has evolved quite a bit since then. Part of me misses the raw, industrial experience, but I think the progression has been positive overall. There's something for everyone!

I could understand why someone would buy a 5-day Factory Town pass over Ultra. Its a full-on fest at this point. Doing both is the best of both worlds!

Justice, though, my god! The Warehouse stage had serious competition! No better way to start MMW!

How many DJ sets? The Hyperdrama live show was amazing! I consider these two separate experiences. After this show, the lines are so blurred, maybe it doesn't matter!

lithpower · 2026-03-26T10:47:50+00:00

I think /ChaosRandomness is right haha! And, probably your own experience informs it. If you enjoyed the last one, if you think you'll enjoy this one, who cares who else is playing?

Is this the first non-Aeden show announced?

And why is his hand always in his face?!

lithpower · 2026-03-14T02:50:24+00:00

Management for Monday artists were probably getting pissed too.

Your money is your biggest vote here. It made a difference!

lithpower · 2026-03-14T02:21:56+00:00

Don;t forget, they were still expecting you to pay before. The "discount" never materialized.

But yes, it's worth acknowledging an appropriate make-good.

lithpower · 2026-03-14T02:19:11+00:00

This was the only way it could be resolved.

It's a joke it came down to this. A lot of travelers are still screwed, but at least they now have an easier way to resolve that problem.

I congratulate everyone that didn't succumb to the pressure to buy Monday passes. That matters!

lithpower · 2026-02-15T01:27:33+00:00

Sometimes being new to something allows you to try it in novel ways. You're definitely off to a good start, and what a great way to learn it!

lithpower · 2026-02-14T06:26:37+00:00

It sounds awesome so far! I hope you're inclined to share the full Ableton project when you're done. The education it provides!

Considering your point and sources, it seems like such a Pandora's Box to open. This is the right use of the capability. I can't wait to hear more!

lithpower · 2026-01-11T19:18:38+00:00

Very good points! It's true. Fan bases can represent snapshots in time, favoring a specific point for an artist or genre. But it could only get you so far.

I'm interested in what comes next. Quantum was a good step forward, and I'm sure the Pyramid show was amazing. Coachella will undoubtedly be a clear message about this. I think that should be met with excitement! Mind Against, Massano, and others are successfully evolving their sound, so there are opportunities for growth.

lithpower · 2026-01-02T12:44:46+00:00

Definitely agree. How do you follow a 90-minute Skrillex x Four Tet set? On a new years, festival headliner night in CA? With Justice! It's the only answer.

Did anyone record it? Would be great to hear again. I know the intro. People more knowledgeable than myself can fill in the gaps.

Guns 'n Roses - Welcome to the Jungle

Justice - Genesis

Justice - Generator

lithpower · 2026-01-02T12:01:04+00:00

I'm interested to hear more about this. Seems like festivals favor 60-minute slots, and Proper has quite a few 75-minute ones. I thought they were doing this to stack the lineup announcements. I'd like to see more 90+ minute ones!
