To all of the parents who are reading this article in hopesto find a nice place to take their young child for his or her first Ferris Wheel ride: I sincerely apologize. The ElectricDaisy Carnival is an electronic music festival which was held in Aurora, COon June 14, 2008 and will be held again in Los Angeles, CA on June 28, 2008. I had the fortune of attending the prior which was held at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. The festivities, which included five stages of artists, carnival rides that ran all night, and the most eclectic group of people one will ever come across, lasted from early evening until early morning.

            If you are a fun-seeking young adult then the Electric Daisy Carnival is a definite must. The plethora of electronic genres provides entertainment to even the most sober of party goers. Unfortunately, there were just too many DJs playing simultaneously for me to make it to every one. However, I was able tocatch some amazing spinning by Mark Farina, Above and Beyond, Colette, UberzoneLive, Kaskade, and a few other bumping DJs. As I wandered around the fairgrounds in Colorado not knowing what to expect next, I heard amazing remixes of classics like Guns and Roses’“Welcome to the Jungle” to Daft Punk’s “Around the World” along with some amazing original beats and melodies by over 40 artists.

  Logistically the event was run very well. Parking was right next to the fairgrounds and the best part was that it was free!  There was a food stand set up right behind the main stages along side a water stand where attendees could buy a bottle of water for no less than $4. Security was also tight and effective. I witnessed no disturbances or breaking of the good vibes which are the basis for an event like this. An Event Staff member was guarding every door, gate, fence, and dance floor to ensure that the Carnival remained safe and secure.

            If anyone out there plans to be in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, June 28 I highly recommend you attend the second installment of the Electric Daisy Carnival whether you attended the first one or not.  The sonic assault on the dance floor that will ensue is not to be missed. I look forward to next years’ event and have every confidence that it will meet and exceed the “epic-ness” of last Saturday.
