MIAMI, WE’RE COMING HOME! #BackToBayfront

A post shared by Ultra Music Festival (@ultra) on Jul 25, 2019 at 3:46pm PDT

6 years of Ultra music festivals under my belt. The experience is always amazing. The vibe, the music, the people, and the place. This last year, 2019, Ultra celebrated 21 years in a new location, Virginia Key. Altho the festivities went on without trouble, transportation was a bit of a mess… Now, come on, it was not all on organizers. We have to be realistic, for the limitations the location had, Ultra did a great job at accommodating and keeping the traffic moving.

The negative news headlines came from angry festival goers that couldn’t patiently wait for their ride… also, these inpatient ravers, decide to walk the couple of miles (we walk more around our jobs in an 8-hour shift) on the two lane bridge (while intoxicated – lets be for real). Thus, creating more traffic for moving cars and eventually causing an accident.

This wasn’t Ultra’s fault. This wasn’t the cities fault. This wasn’t even the locations fault. But that’s not what people wanted to read or see… there for, the news published what they did and festival goers ate it up… Now, all the positive efforts and planning and FREE services for goers went unnoticed and un-pressed.

The good news is that Ultra is coming home. Back to its downtown location and I couldn’t be more happy. I’m incredibly excited to see what they will bring to us next year and I can’t wait to create more memories with all the UMF fans!!

See you at Bayfront next year!!! PS register for your tickets now here: UltraMusicFestival.com/tickets

Spring Awakening Music Festival: Volume 2019.

Spring Awakening Music Festival threw a 3-day house warming rager that had the Hoffman Estates Major in great spirts came Monday morning.

This year, the Chicago native festival, changed its location to the massive 27 acres Poplar Creek. Some may have liked the new location, others may have not liked the journey there… however way you felt, once you entered the gates of SAMF, you felt nothing but glitter, love, joy, and music.

Getting to the grounds, from the city…which for me, it’s what makes SAMF so special – CHICAGO… was a bit of a journey. Ubers were in the upwards of $130 and about an hour and a half commute, one way. Hopping on the train (The Blue line in this case) took about an hour and 45 minutes and only cost $10 (both ways!). So for our squad, the train was a no brainier. The festival also provided free shuttles from the final train stop to the grounds, dropping everyone off right in front of the gates.

Getting in the festival was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful, the check-in security staff was kind and thorough. I always believe in the benefits of VIP tickets, and at SAMF they stand true. Speedy entry, designated food and bars and way better restrooms. So next year, and if you’re 21+, get yourself a VIP ticket. It’s worth it! If you don’t, but want to, you can always upgrade to VIP once you’re there. Also, an amazing feature that I have not seen at any other festival was the VIP areas between the two main stages were connected! Providing VIPers the ability to run back and forth, not be stuck in the crowds, have faster food and drink lines and less waiting for restrooms. Which, also takes away from foot traffic in the general area. SMART move SAMF! SMART! MOVE!!!!

We all know the music is amazing, the lineup was filled with heavy hitters and the last minutes changes were the cherry on top! How Spring Awakening stands out among the rest festivals is on how they care for their attendees. Everyone was educated on what protocols to follow, adapted quickly when changes needed to be made (parking on day one – I was told – was a bit hectic), and the level of medics available to care for any emergency was incredibly comforting.

Day one gallery:

As a whole, Spring Awakening 2019 gets a B+! Not to mention I got to celebrate National Bestfriends Day with one of my top 10! Who, BTWs, had never been to a electronic music festival before – The ability to see a festival from a newbie’s perspective is amazing! So next year, grab your bestfriend, plan to stay near the grounds, your energy level and patience will thank you. As always, Spring Awakening was an amazing experience and so happy to call this one of my favorite summer festivals!

Deorro shares new track “Obvious” on Ultra Music

Deorro adds to his ever-growing arsenal of new music with “Obvious,” out now on Ultra Music. The reality is, however, there’s nothing at all obvious about this single. Smooth and emotive, “Obvious” represents a new style for the Mexican-American producer and follows the release of “Keep It Goin’” featuring Danny Avila, the Latin-infused “Pica” featuring Elvis Crespo and Henry Fong, “Focus” and “Wild Like The Wind.” These songs span multiple genres, giving Deorro’s fans a taste of something new with every release.

Stylistically, “Obvious” is an indie driven electronic track, with slicker-than-ice production and gentle vocals that meld into the perfect pop-infused masterpiece. This is Deorro at his silkiest.

Deorro’s high energy sets are the stuff of legend and not to be missed. How lucky you are that he will be on tour throughout the spring/summer, including performances at Chicago’s Lollapalooza and more.

Obviously, you need more Deorro in your life, so do yourself a favor and listen to “Obvious” here:

Deorro Tour Dates – more TBA
6/1 – Echostage – Washington, DC (w/ Steve Aoki)
6/7 – The Park Ultra Lounge – Sacramento, CA
6/8 – Marquee Dayclub – Las Vegas, NV
6/14 – Ravine – Atlanta, GA
6/15 – Marquee – New York, NY

Now, as the festival continues to grow, React Presents and Jam Productions look towards the future and are excited to find Mamby a new home with a bigger footprint at Montrose Beach. The new location is a 15-minute drive from downtown Chicago and a 5-minute walk from the Redline Wilson stop.
