I had the fortune of going to Las Vegas over EDC weekend, and never imagined that I would have so much fun! I only went to EDC for one night but that was not the highlight of my trip – they were the pool parties. Granted, my pool party experiences were pretty limited – I […]

Review of Ministry of Sound, London
My rating: 4/10. I know that this is an important club for many people, and my rating is totally subjective!!! I felt that the club was too crowded, the techno crowd keeps too much to themselves, and the layout of the club was kind of awkward. Shiba San played, which was the only redeeming factor for me. […]

Hardstyle in Madrid – Fabrik
My rating of the event: 6.5/10. It was really cool to see hardstyle so big in Madrid, and to visit the legendary Fabrik. The music and lineup were great, though I wasn’t crazy about the crowd and especially not by the drink prices.
Fabric: Solo Clubbing in London and Finding Drum & Bass Heaven
My rating of clubbing at Fabric, on their Friday night Bass event FABRICLIVE: 8/10 for its amazing ambiance and killer music. At the end of January, I took advantage of the fact that flights from Barcelona to London were cheap (70 euros round trip, and even as low as 40 euros if you book far enough […]
A weekend of dance music in Tokyo and a review of ageHa club
My rating for ageHa club: 6.5/10. The venue was huge, especially the outdoor one (unfortunately it was raining, but usually you can see the sunrise). There were so many spaces to explore and time flew by in there. However, it is just way too far from the city center!!! So hard and stressful to get to […]

UMF Ultra Music Festival Europe 2014 falls short
My rating for the festival: 3 out of 10 Ultra Music Festival (UMF) is one of the two most important festivals for electronic music lovers in North America. Held annual in March in Miami, it marks the arrival of “festival season” in addition to hosting industry-wide events throughout the city for a week. I was lucky […]

Q-Dance Chile. Using Couchsurfing to find festival buddies.
My rating: 8 out of 10. Mad bonus points for an amazing Chilean crowd. As I neared the end of my stay in Florianópolis, I needed a plan for the 10-day gap between the end of my lease and the opening of the World Cup in Sao Paulo. When I saw that Chile has waived […]
Review of Warung Day Festival
My rating for the festival: 7 out of 10. The combination of nature and music was amazing, and for a techno festival the talent booked was diverse and deep. Beautiful people though as in most other techno festivals, people were kind of “in their own world”. Warung Beach Club, in Itajaí, SC, Brazil, is the […]
Hardstyle and Trance in Taiwan
Event rating: 8/10. State-of-the-art Funkton One sound system, a solid group of true dance music lovers, everyone dressed in black, and dirt-cheap drinks = great party and an aching body the next day. One of the best value raves I’ve been to! When you think about the best places for dance music, Asia is not a […]
