[Dynagroove] EDC 2010

[Jason Deyarmin]

We were there Saturday and had a blast. The magnitude of the  
production and turnout was unbelievable. At 185k peeps, that was  
probably the biggest rave ever. The crowd was young but not unruly. It  
seemed like the music on almost every stage was a lot of mash ups. I  
kept hearing a decent remake of Chili peppers 'how long'. Standout  
sets: Dirtyphonics and Afrojack.

I think the large scale and high cost of massives has bred a new kind  
of partygoers who don't go to smaller underground parties. I spin and  
attend mid sized raves planned before & after massives ana they  
usually seem to have slow turnout.

Sincerely,
Jason splat
