The magical time of the start of summer is completely incomplete with out Chicagos’ Spring Awakening Music Festival. Just a few days before before the heat takes over the breezy nights of the city, Spring Awakenings thumps its musical heartbeat for three days, bringing out electronic music lovers from all over the midwest.
Over the last 2 years, we’ve been lucky enough to grace the rumbling fields of Addams-Medill Park while DJs like Kaskade, deadmau5, Above&Beyond, Showtek, Dillon Francis, Steve Aoki, Alesso, Afrojack, Armin Van Buuren, Diplo, Yellow Claw, Galantis, Martin Garix, Rufus Du Sol and ssssooo many more. This year, the festival grew in attendance, stage sizes, sold out crowds and accommodations for its attendees. The after-parties were incredible and the day vibe at the festival, was nothing shorter than musical heaven.
2018 will be no different, as the festival will take over Addams-Medill Park from June 8th through the 10th. If our 2016 & 2017 experience were to predict 2018… Don’t event reading and grab your wallets and buy your tickets right now! We’re already counting the minutes for Spring Awakening, because after all, there’s no better way to celebrate the birth of summer.

Haunted Fest- Indianapolis Edition
Oh Halloween…
“In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy…”
In Music Festival World, is just another night where boys and girls can dress up as whatever they like and no one can say anything about it… The hard-core ragers turn on their LED gadgets while they step into their party dimension and stay hydrated. Fortunately for us, this was not our first rodeo.
We gathered our Halloween gear and got to Indy’s hottest event/concert venue, The Pavilion at Pan Am Plaza, for Haunted Fest, Indy edition. WE were extra excited for A) Haunted Fest 2016 was so much fun, we loved it, B) it’s was here, INDY!! Which we’re so happy to see more of our favorite types of show come through our city, and C) Our close friend Jason Barth opened the show!
The Pavilion at the Pan Am Plaza is huge, great warehouse vibe with multiple elevated VIP areas, an ultra VIP area (that could use less lighting and more bass, give it that ultra lounge exclusivity) and bars (for the 21+) all through out. We did missed the silent disco, the outside little plaza would be ideal, plus it would make for the perfect spot to cool down.
Cash Cash rocked the stage with remixes of classic 90’s electronic beats. They rocked a killer mix of Eurythmics -Sweet Dreams, Nelly’s Ride with me and lots of their originals. Their vibe is always so dope and they put on a great show every time. Waka Flocka Flame, for us, totally changed the vibe… Personally, really into his music, but the crowed loved him. He does put on a fun interactive show. He brings his pose up on stage and got the crown hyped. Now, Yellow Claw, that’s totally up or wheel of loving. It’s amazing how music can transport you to a different time and place. I found myself dancing at Ultra Music Festival or Spring Awakening when some of his songs would play. That’s thing about musicians (Yes! I believe DJs/Producers are musicians), if you love them, they take you on an amazing journey with their songs and performances.
Haunted Fest 2017 was a huge success for us. The Pavilion downtown Indy is amazing and we’re so excited to see all the upcoming shows they have in store for us! Check out our Haunted Fest pix below.

Summer Always Ends With Amazing Memories: North Coast Music Festival 2017.
Summer always comes to an end like a day hungover post brunch… heavy and painful. Though the beauty of it all is like that mimosa at brunch, refreshing, fun, and sexy. North Coast Music Festival is my end of summer bottomless brunch mimosa.
This year, I grabbed the beautiful Kayla Noel and our friend Jason, for our end of summer rager at the 8th annual NCMF. All August long I joked about “August being the Sunday of Summer” and in true #SundayFunday nature, we celebrated it as such. WE took full advantage of all the NCMF accommodations: Hotel purchase through their site, best idea ever. We stayed a few blocks away from festival grounds and from downtown Chicago. We celebrated our festival day/night hunger with their broad options of food, even had a gluten free AREPA!! Took pix and filled our snapchat and instastories with the art around the grounds and, of course, danced our heads off with the eclectic combination of music and artists NCMF featured this year!
Favorite acts: Big Boi from Outcast, brought us back!!! Carnage, as always, amazing. Elephante brought fun top 40 electro beats, fell in love with Electronic Guest, Hippie Sabotage rocked it! These guys are incredibly crazy and got me a little teary eye with their “fuck whomever tells you ‘you can’t achieve your dreams'” speech. LOVE THEM! Destructo set the vibe for the night fall and we closed our weekend with some Primus and Skepta. So, thank you NCMF for being an incredible way to end my summer and for always introducing me to amazing music! Till 2018!
