And just like that Indianapolis was taken over by some of the biggest name in the EDM industry! For the 100th running of the Indy 500, Indianapolis pull all the stops. The city was filled with energy, events, and people from all over the world to celebrate this monumental (and historical) moment for the circle city. But what’s more important, to us, is what happened in turned 3-in field of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway… The Snake Pit.
Over the last few years The Snake Pit and React Presents have worked together and really hard at providing a pretty killer experience. Not to suck up or anything, but React Presents puts together pretty amazing events throughout the year in the general Chicago area, so this is really just a taste of their production. This year the Snake Pit stage was taken over by the DJ Mustard, Zeds Dead, Skrillex & Martin Garrix, a pretty killer lineup.
Traffic was out of this world crazy, so we were late for DJ Mustard. Zeds Dead (who we’ve never seen before) was awesome. The duo was full of energy, fun personalities and killer beats. Skrillex followed them as the the Indy 500 car racers took over the track. Skrillex never disappoints, we shook hands as he walked up to the stage and talked about how crazy the Indy 500 and the Snake Pit experience is. Cool cat for sure!
Martin Garrix took over after and closed the place down. Another quick chat with the DJ before going on stage. Before his set he roamed around the track after pulling into IMS in a private chopper… talk about an entrance! So for those that don’t really know a thing about EDM, here’s a little breakdown on what Skrillex plays vs. Martin: If EDM was RAP (and this is 100% OUR opinion) Skrillex would be in the gangster rap end of the genre and Martin Garrix would be in the mainstream pop/rap blend end. Make sense?
The Snake Pit once again was an incredible experience and it’s always so fun seeing everyone get dressed up in their Memorial Day gear. Check out the full gallery of pix below and like them! We want to hear from you and your thoughts!
