It was pretty stressful tbh. Just throngs of people. It was in this gigantic outdoor area, and you'd still feel like you were going to die. They had all these world class dj acts on about 20 different floats driving around, so many djs that they all only got 20 minute sets. Like, huge names like Sasha playing a 20 minute set. It was weird, but a unique experience. Going clubbing around Berlin that night was the fun part.

Here's a shitty stock photo of it from the air. In the main plaza, that's all people packed in. And that area is huge. There's people packed in in the forested part surrounding it too. It's nuts.

That's like Notting Hill Carnival. About the same numbers attend and there's the same shattering off throughout the night. You gotta admire the vibe when so many come together with (mostly) the sole intent of having a fucking good time right?

I'm still hoping for more tracks/inspiration. Loving it so far.

Hey Burke, I was at the Love Parade in 2007. What year did you go?
I was 17, too young to really realize what I was doing. Didn't know a single act, was really just wandering around stoned flabbergasted at all the people and music happening. My first exposure to house music, I was pretty anti-electronic music until I went. Such a kick ass time.
Gotta love that festival atmosphere in Germany. I went to a lot of festivals when I was there, all were free to the public - the ones I went to at least. There was always some kind of festival going on in Germany on the weekends, within a few hours distance on the hauptbahnhofs. Hope to spend some time there again at some point in life.

I'd be going if PL wasn't the headliner. That dude is a fucking trainwreck. I'm just not ever gonna go to a show just for openers because they play limited sets and dont go full throttle on the speakers. Love me some Tipper and G Jones. PL just gets rocked before shows and his sets suck because of it. It amazes me that people will still pay to go see him fall asleep on stage (and yes I've actually seen him do that). The dude can't even do a transition. Instead he has to stop the track and mumble some gibberish into the mic so he can start his next track
I saw G Jones candyflipping suuper hard a couple weeks ago and damn, he played so much new shit. It was insane

25,000 is like the most I would ever want to deal with. Being in that love parade where people died must have been so traumatizing

Man. Fried DJ's...
A friend of mine wrote a text message to one once and walked up to him with the words 'YOU'RE LOSING THE CROWD' on his screen and showed it to the DJ. I think it shocked him into action. A little, at least..

This dude is a bigger spunion than most of his fans, and his fans are really spun. Him trying to DJ is just absolutely pathetic. The guy loves K and is addicted to opiates and he can't stay sober just for his own set
Last time I saw him I go to my friends "Someone needs to line up 2 fat gaggers and tell him to wake the fuck up". But for real, it would have made the show a lot better

I caught Skrillex at a music festival. Wasn't big on him to begin with, was really just catching part of his set in between other sets I wanted to see. He was completely (and obviously) wasted though. Will never see a show of his because of that. Later that night, 12th Planet was playing at another stage, and Skrillex commandeered half of his set just walking up. I was like what the fuck. 
Not my type of music anyway, but yeah.

I've seen Skrillex twice. Once like 4 years ago and I used to stick up for the guy but I saw him again a couple weeks ago and holy shit. It was some of the most pathetic shit I've ever seen. I don't think he did one transition. The whole time he would build a track up, then drop it and let it play out for like a minute. Then he would stop it, say some retarded shit to the crowd and it was always some joke that wasn't funny and it seemed like it was directed towards like a 16 year old girl. Then he'd start another track wnd keep on doing that over and over and over
Like yeah some lf the drops were pretty insane, but they mean nothign when you aren't letting us flow. It was just so hard to get a rhythm going because he wouldn't shut the fuck up. And all his jokes were so dumb. It was EDM for people with ADD and absolutely no knowledge of music. It was incredibly stupid. We left the fest early that night because he was headlining

I went to the Love Parade in 2002. I was 20 and was spending a fun month just kinda bumming around Germany & the Netherlands with a couple friends. I was very much into electronic music so it was all a pretty big deal to me. There was no way I was prepared for that party though, just so many people. I'm glad I went, but I doubt I could ever enjoy something like that these days.
I hate when I'm at a rave or show or whatever & the dj is too wasted to perform well. It's really disrespectful to the crowd. Thankfully, a lot of the bigger names are pretty professional. It still happens though, Pretty Lights is apparently working on crafting a career out of being a trainwreck (I've heard of this outside of the poster above who mentioned it). Rusko is another one. And fuck Skrillex.

Rusko has been getting better though, he's not a dopehead anymore. He's been playing b2b sets with Caspa recently and they've actually been pretty legit. But yeah there were a few years when he was a total trainwreck. Literally going in the mic at the end of his sets and asking the crowd for opiates. Yes, that happened
But yeah Skrillex is a faggot. That set was just so dumb that I saw a couple weeks ago

EDM DJs should be limited to a 2 minute mic limit for any set, unless it's used to make music. Less than 2 minutes is preferable. A hello at the beginning and farethewell at the end.

DJ's should have 0 access to a mic. Leave that shit to the MC's.

Agreed. Talking is fine every so often, but just stfu and focus. DJs who don't talk, are actually DJing. So many DJ's just do coke and won't shut up and it's so annoying
And as far as that MC comment, eh, MCs kinda ruin shows too. I've seen an MC make the show better once and every other MC just yells retarded shit over and over. Id rather have a coked up DJ on the mic than an MC
