Overview for, EMO NITE: THE ROAD TO THE GRAVE RAVE 8/26
Just a few weeks ago, I attended the event hosted by Insomniac and Emo Nite, “EMO NITE: THE ROAD TO THE GRAVE RAVE.” This led to Academy LA having only five tickets left thirty minutes after the doors opened. It was a blast! Academy displayed the aesthetic right by hanging the Emo Nite logo as…

Hard Summer ’23 RECAP
85 degrees, clear skies and just enough wind to dry off our perspiration. Held in our very own concrete jungle, Hard Summer was hot enough to give their attendees some color, but windy enough to cool their attendees down. I’ve been attending Hard events since 2015, and although Hard Summer may have had it’s logistical…

Dance Global Dance
Jumping into Global Dance this year has been quite the blast of emotions for me. At first, I was very excited to be covering the festival. Then I started to doubt if I was even slightly talented enough to be writing about it. I do not have the proper words to describe my experience, but…

Another Beautiful Year of Electric Forest
Welp, that’s a wrap y’all. Another beautiful year of Electric Forest has passed and I must say I had an amazing time. Although much different than last year, I was wow’d by the new art installations, the upgrades to the stages, and the new dream emporium. Last year was my first time at the forest…

Striking GOLD With Lightning In A Bottle
It’s hard to wrap your mind around all the events of 2023 so far, but for me, and I’m sure many others, Lightning In A Bottle was an absolutely life-changing event. Taking place in the Central Valley region of Southern California from May 24th-29th, an eruption of expression took place that would shake the ground…

It’s The Last Summer Camp And…
This past weekend, I had the incredible pleasure of attending my very last Summer Camp. It was emotional in so many ways for attendees, artists, and staff. The one thing you kept hearing throughout the weekend was that it was the last SCamp and we had to go out with a bang. Honestly, the whole…

Desert Hearts was a long-awaited music festival for me. As I am discovering my love for this music genre, I couldn’t wait to step foot into one of the most talked about house and tech fests here in CA. With the recent change in venue, I had some doubts. *Ellie also attended this festival. Check…

Continue ReadingDreamstate Was What Dreams Are Made Of
It’s been years since I had my first Dreamstate experience, so the anticipation was high. As a lover of trance, Dreamstate SoCal is a mecca of music. Making the trek from Arizona gave me plenty of time to reminisce about my previous Dreamstate experiences. I hoped that it would live up to the memories I…

The five day excursion, presented by Whet Travel, included 120+ hours of nonstop music that culminated with a beachside party. There were artist activities, panels, and of course 24/7 food options. Have extra money…

Being back at the Glen Helen Grounds for Nocturnal Wonderland was like taking me back in time to the beginning of my festival days. I felt such nostalgia walking in and seeing the beautiful mountains behind the stages. I must say that I felt like the grounds were set up in a way that made…

I’ve only been to Chattanooga a few times but had never explored the city much. This changed when I went to Moon River Music Festival this past weekend for the first time. I could only go on Saturday, which ended up working out as Sunday had to end early due to bad weather (more on…
