What was your first electronic music event?

Beyond Wonderland Bay Area 2012

What/who influenced you to attend your first event?

Afrojack and Tiesto’s music.

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

Meeting my rave soulmate at Nocturnal Wonderland SoCal 2015 for their 20th Anniversary. I’ll never forget the moment when Kaskade played “Let Me Disarm You” is when we knew we were meant to be a rave couple. I will forever cherish this moment when Kaskade dropped by my boyfriend’s work unexpectedly and when he told him the story, he had the biggest smile on his face and was glad his music brought us together!

What is your favorite festival or event?

Every event is my favorite because I create new memories with new and old friends. I’ve tried to attend to every Insomniac festival in the U.S.

What is your favorite electronic song and why?

There are so many EDM songs that are my favorite but the one song that got me into EDM was listening to “Sandstorm” by Darude.

Who are your favorite artists?

There’s too many to name but if I were to choose one it would be Kaskade.

What are your favorite genres?

Trance, Psytrance, House, Techno

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

I’ve started the NorCal Raves community on Facebook and Instagram to help promote events throughout the Bay Area and it has expanded exponentially to promoting events in Southern California to worldwide. Working with platforms such as Insomniac and other production companies to spread the beauty of what dance music festivals have to offer.

Creating a network for ravers to meet during Kandi meetups has been a blessing as I meet new and old ravers around the U.S. These festivals are simply reunions of new and existing friendships.

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

I’m currently a Medical Assistant trying to go to Medical School. No matter what career path you choose, music festivals are always a place to be free and escape from reality. There are no judgments at the events and that’s why I feel at home at every event.

  • ARTIST INTERVIEW: 🎵⁠
@MitiS shares Memories of his early career and releases a brand new four-track EP on his imprint to thank his longtime fans. 🙌🏽⁠
⁠
“I fell in love with the tempo, and how it was SO different from everything else,” he told us. “It just really clicked, supernaturally. The more I wrote, the more it made me excited to write more of it.” - MitiS ⁠
⁠
He returns with his brand new Memories EP, which not only harkens back to the start of his career but serves as a thank-you to his fans. “I got super burnt out trying to write more poppy-sounding stuff, and the melodic scene is so over-saturated now that I just wanted to write how I felt and what I wanted,” he said. “I had the most fun writing instrumental music my whole career, so I decided to dive back in and have a trip down memory lane.“ 🎶⁠

🎧️ Check out Memories on your favorite platform & be sure to catch MitiS on tour this year in a city near you. Link in bio for the full scoop! 🔗⁠

  • SHOW REVIEW:⁠
Millions of people across the globe recently ushered in a fresh Lunar New Year. For those that celebrate, 2023 is the year of the rabbit, which represents peace, self-reflection, and prosperity. And in honor of this celebration, Pulse Events produced two eventful nights at @avantgardnerbk, featuring a roster of Asian artists and two dance music titans – @Gryffin and @KSHMR. 🪅🎶⁠
⁠
The renowned venue displayed a 360 photo booth with a Lunar New Year backdrop for attendees, and a constellation of red lanterns suspended throughout the space with a huge chandelier right in the center of the Great Hall – and our team was there to witness the Lunar New Year magic. 💫⁠

  • ALBUM REVIEW: 💿️⁠
There are few artists in the melodic house and techno realm more in demand than @marshmusician at the moment. His latest LP to land on @Anjunadeep, Endless, is a glimpse of what the last few years of staying busy have meant to the producer, yet also act as a snapshot of his past as he takes his deepest influences and brings them into the present. This album is the culmination of both the artistry that’s made him a staple of the Anjuna roster over the past few years and the philosophical questions that arise from long journeys. 🛣️🎶⁠
⁠
"I’ve written this entire album on the move, writing from so many different homes. On a deeper, more spiritual level, this has led me to question, what is truly home, and will we experience home after this life?" -Marsh⁠
