EDC UK 2015

Yes, i am finally doing a post on EDC UK 2015. Saturday, 11th July 2015.

It was sick.

They say you remember your firsts. Your first kiss, your first love, your first dance, your first car. I remember the first moment I fell in love with EDM. That is why I am so honoured to have EDC UK 2015 listed as my first EDM festival. What's more is that the Kinetic Cathedral was brought all the way from Vegas to UK for its first year debut here! So blessed I swear!

We don't need to pop to get on the same high.

Of course, the line up was incredible. Four stages in total for the whole day and Bernie & I were at the main KineticField- Kinetic Cathedral stage 90% of the time. It was really tiring though, the crowd, the people, the heat. It was tiring but it was so worth it. There were so many DJs playing but then we chose a few to stay in the middle of the floor during the entire set and we rested and refuel-ed for the next set. I didn't go for the alcohol, or for the sake of going to a festival just to say I've been to one, or to get high and completely wasted or to torture my body with laughing gas or pills. I actually went because I loved the line up. My favourite people were going to be playing all in one day and it was pretty affordable and it didn't go on for three days and the timing was great. I didn't need to put any crap into my body to have a good time.

Hardwell. Steve Aoki. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and of course the king himself, Tiesto.

They slayed it, one after another. Without even trying. Hardwell pulled out all the stops, he killed it omg. Steve Aoki got the crowd wild. It was so good! When he did a tribute to Disney I was smiling from ear to ear. From Lion King to Madagascar to big hits like Wonderwall and Holy Grail. Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, what else can I say? Tremor was literally a crowd pleaser, as expected. To be honest I was hoping that Martin Garrix would appear as their special guest on the set and do Tremor with them. I was disappointed but oh well, next time! They spun their new track too, Higher Place, it was a collaboration with Ne-Yo. When it was 9:30pm, the crowd was chanting for Tiesto. Literally. Chanting. His name. Before he even appeared and even after he ended the festival at 11pm. When Tiesto did Red Lights I felt emotionally high i swear! It was so so good, as always! Honestly, it's a whole different experience being at a live festival where you could feel the bass bouncing and vibrating off the grounds and going through your body and watch the effects take place. Now I can't blast their tracks in my room or through earpods without the thought that it isn't anything as amazing as being at a live festival.

The crowd was pretty amazing as well. There were a lot of Americans. And Asians. Tons of Asians. I was surprised. Needless to say, a few of them had the resting bitch faces then they gave me the famous Asian bitchy up-down glares. Typical *sigh*.

One of the most amazing things is that -> patriotism to one's country was evident. People from different nationalities gathered in a group in different parts of the crowd and raised and waved the flag of their country. It was a sign of unity. I thought it was so beautiful, that the world in a way came together as one at an epic music festival, regardless of their beliefs or political situation or even race or color and just enjoyed the music. It would have been perfect with Calvin Harris, Zedd, Martin Garrix, Alesso and Markus Schulz too but then it's alright, there's always next time!

When we arrived at the hostel after the festival at 3 in the morning, my sneakers were completely filthy. We could tell, because they were brand new and were black in the morning. The next two days, my voice was gone and my entire body ached like crazy - truly the aftermath of an amazing time. It was a reminder of the incredible time and experience at EDC UK 2015.

Repost : Tiesto.

If you say "EDC UK 2015" to Bernie or I, you'll see a smile creep up. It was truly amazing. I wish I could do it all over again, without the queuing. Who wouldn't though? Looking at this photograph above, professionally taken of the Kinetic Cathedral, I can't help but smile and just reminisce the good times. I still can't believe I was there.


BIG DREAM OF MINE
A group of us should go together and raise the Malaysian or Filipino flag. 
Like a huge group, at least 10. I'll pretend to be Filipino if I have to, honestly. 

My instagram was filled with videos and clips and magic after the 11th of July. Check out @pokerfaceeeyyy for the videos!
