EDC was massive, that's the general idea for it, but In my opinion/experience it was too massive. Within an hour of being there I was separated from my friends and was left alone to find new ones. I met a lot of new people and a few old friends, the music was great! The 150k watt system raped my ears, it was all worth the grueling wait. Moby didnt spin anything slow/ambient which is a good thing, he didnt drop any popular songs either. IE: natural blues, porcelian, forever, etc.. Benny and Paul had the best overall performance. (lightshows and fireworks.) and the way the entire expo park was converted into a weird hell/heaven type of environment made it completely unreal. The entrance to the arena was a giant mouth...picture a hellmouth. Edc was great, I have a feeling next year will be better though.
I would say it was an 8/10. Consider this though, as a raver I'm a little bit biased.
-onoe.

Well Mark I would have to say EDC 2008 was the most epic adventure i have been on. The whole night was weird it seemed more like a carnival to me with ppl on stilts walking thru tunnles and walkin around just for our enjoyment. Also there was more games i noticed then last years edc and although i wasnt impressed with the line up this year i still give props. Eddie Halliwell, Bt, R.I.T.M, Z-Trip were my favorite thru out the whole night i never made my way to the DnB room but i guess it was just cuz im over seeing the same ppl (even tho there great). How can i forget the lightgraden it seriously is amazing to look at sober or not. . . i really do want one in my room.
I would say Bt's opening was amazing when he played let it be yeah that made my night.
All in all i was running around with friends going stage to stage trying to figure out where the hell i was and where i was going but in the end we ended up in the spot we wanted to be in . . . a lot of ppl were there and they could have for sure done a better job being more organized with the let in but whatever.
The next big thing thats looking crazy is Nocturnal Festival - Above and Beyond, Cosmic Gate, Digitalism, Kaskade. and also Beyond the Beat looks like a crazy big event too on September 20th (my b-day) they have John B, Limewax, Brisk and Ham, Luna C, Gammer, and kevin energy to name a few and its at the shrine nuts.

As always Mark, keep up the great work!
