The shortcut through the air force base was not always faster depending on traffic to get there, but was a mostly reliable 1-1.5H trip:

empty bus line yipee!

nice awacs planes

Welcome to EDC, 3 more days of fun:

Basspod

Quantum Valley, much much nicer this year with pixel forest in the foreground

Daisy Lane

Rainbow Road to Kinetic Field

the calm before the storm

One fun thing at EDC are the people and costumes:

fantastic paint job, well done

The dancers were nice and took pictures with us:

LED/Neopixel/RGBPanel work:

low res version of my previous shirt better coverage. Nice job

I obviously didn't resist the urge to take pictures with others:

Including friends and people I know from other events:

Afik and his new sign

in his natural habitat

Hi Nathalie

and then, there is this guy, it was his first EDC and he did more than great :)

not causing trouble :)

Random burning man-like displays and projects, as well as art:

Art cars:

burning man's mayan warrior

it's a beautiful art car, just not my kind of music

VIP Areas (there were many kinds):

Then, there was Pixel Forest, really really cool job, especially the music/neopixel tunnel:

Another great display were the Tesla Coil Dancers (Lords of Lightening?):

Lots of rides:

Misc:

Every day had a parade:

And yes, EDC was about music of course, let's start with Day #1:

Quantum Valley (trance) was much improved

Niko Zographos helped open the new stage with a great set

Ali and Fila

above and beyond was next at circuit grounds

only at EDC

Gareth Emery was next, for an interesting set that travelled all over

And there isn't an EDC without fireworks, right after Above and Beyond's set:

Also, a lot of tech to make this all work:

Here is a summary of Day #1:

And brings up to Day #2

after Craig, I went to check out the competition a bit

cosmic maedows

basspod

then back to Quantum Valley for Bryan Kearney

then Paul Oakenfold took over

Nice suit :)

Ferry Corsten was next

Paul van Dyk sadly only got to play a little bit before the stage was shut down for wind

Sadly, there was a lot of wind on day 2 and day3. It caused a shutdown of some stages on the 2nd day:

Here is a summary of Day #2:

Then, the last day, the hardest one on your energy bank :)

Ruben was nice enough to take a picture with me

I then tried to check out other stages again, got to see a good portion of Say My Name, which was an interesting mix of genres:

Then, it was time for Armin's set at Kinetic Field:

Armin was also nice enough to take a few pictures

After Armin, back to Quantum Valley for Cosmic Gate:

Marlo:

And Mark Sixma:

Here is a summary of Day #3:

And it was time to get out and catch a shuttle to make my flight (which ended up being cancelled, thank you Southwest):

eventually, all good things come to an end

time to get home and race back to the airport for my flight that I found out got cancelled when my phone started getting signal again
