What is one moment from an event that was special and why?

When I met my new group during Sander’s set. The next day we saw Swedish House Mafia, easily still the most incredible show I have seen in Vegas.

What is your favorite festival or event?

EDC Las Vegas hands down. Burning Man may change my opinion this year though =/

Sean Riordan

What is your favorite electronic song and why?

“You Got To Go” – Above & Beyond… This song convinced me to move forward to Los Angeles. It spoke directly to me at the time and is still relevant today.

Armin’s “Intense” is a very close second…

Who are your favorite artists?

Above and Beyond, Armin van Buuren, A-Trak, Ilan Bluestone, Arty, Mat Zo, Wolfgang Gardner, Eric Prydz, Claptone, Way out West, and Oliver Heldens

What are your favorite genres?

Trance, Progressive House, Deep House, Nudisco /indie dance, Techno

Sean Riordan

What do you feel your “Identity” is in the electronic music community?

My “identity” I would say is that I am the giant that is overly conscious of blocking people’s view and always wants to get to the venue on time. Also I am called Guardian because of my need to constantly make sure everyone is having a good time and being safe. I’m happiest when everyone is happy.

Is there anything else you would like to add about yourself for the readers?

If you see me at a show come say hi! I’m 6’8 and have a big red beard! Come say hi and rage with me. We can drink scotch and bounce around circuit grounds!
