EDC MEXICO 2018!

this past weekend i headed to the capital of Mexico to experience the 5th anniversary of the Electric Daisy Carnival — Mexico! entering the festival was a breeze & you basically get slapped with bass as soon as you enter! the overall layout of EDCMX was superb in my opinion! stages not too close or far from each-other, workers selling cerveza every 20 feet, food all around, and tons of rides and activities that nobody ever really talks about! the event was definitely more than just a ‘rave’. it was unity, between love and music. the vibe was unbelievable, it’s definitely true that we mexicanos know how to party!  i’ve been to festivals all over the world, but EDC mexico definitely felt like home. ♥️ i will definitely be returning for 2019! will i see you there? 

take a look at photos from the festivities below and read my interview with Mexican-born electronic DJ Loojan!

INTERVIEW WITH DJ LOOJAN [en español! keep scrolling for english translation!]:

​1.¿Qué te hizo darte cuenta de que la música era tu camino?
Desde niño cuando escuchaba alguna canción amaba aprenderme la letra, bailaba las canciones que me aprendía, tenia ese gusto de sobremanera con la música de cualquier tipo, hasta que un día supe que era la música electrónica, que era un dj y me dije yo quiero crear esto que estoy escuchando.
 
2.¿Qué sigue de ti? ¿Alguna idea sobre el nuevo álbum? Planes de gira?

INTERVIEW WITH DJ LOOJAN:

1.What made you realize that music was your path In life?
Since I was a child when I was listening to a song, I loved learning the lyrics, I danced the songs I learned, I had that great taste with music of any kind, until one day I knew it was electronic music, it was a dj and I said I want to create what I am listening to.
 
2.What's next for you? Any details on the new album? Tour plans?
I just released a single called A Lo Loco with the vocals of Happy Colors and Godwonder two Dominican artists who are breaking it, came out under Sony EVT Music, tour is planned in Latin America but I have many shows around my country
 
3.If you were not making music, what would you be doing?
Would be a footballer or MMA fighter
 
4.What is a festival or dream place that you would like to play? If you already played it, how was it? How was the experience?
I already fulfilled the dream of being in EDC for the second year in a row, I think that Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland are the following. The experience of EDC is total madness to realize that in your country they love you, they enjoy what you do there is no comparison

The most valuable and beautiful there is, our culture is something that I love and I would not change it for anything
