mad decent block party

 

 

Some shots I took during Mad Decent Block Party at South Street Seaport

Got back from Mad Decent Block Party at South Street Seaport a few hours ago. Went with some friends from high school to check out some new sounds and dance a lot. We spent most of the day crushed against the front of the crowd, having a good time.

For a free (!) music festival it was pretty incredible, but I didn't really expect much less from such a stacked label; The Hood Internet, Maluca Mala, Zeds Dead, DJ Mehdi, BAIO (Vampire Weekend), and Claude VonStroke killed it. I wish I could go to the Philly, Chicago, and LA shows (particularly Philly and LA for Diplo and Major Lazer), but my schedule's booked solid for the next six weeks.

On another note, I really want that photographer's shirt.

Electric Zoo 2010

Over this past year, my friends and I went to almost every music festival imaginable. This year, I feel like I should be a bit more economically conscious so I'm going to Identity Festival in Mansfield on August 20 and Electric Zoo over Labor Day Weekend. I haven't been to a single festival all summer, so I'm itching to get out to a huge open field and dance to great music and love life.

The Mansfield lineup includes Kaskade, Rusko, Avicii, Data Romance, Steve Aoki, and Nervo, while Tiesto, Guetta, Moby, Benassi, Rusko (twice in three weekends, yay), van Buuren, Afreojack, Boys Noize, Skrillex, ATB, Bloody Beetroots, Fake Blood, and Infected Mushroom will be at EZoo. I wish Pretty Lights was also on one of the lineups, but they're both already incredible, so I can't complain too much.
