“The last time I was really happy was Saturday because I
went to see Mersiv. I feel like the first show that really got
me into EDM was Bassnectar. I love the whole scene. The
energy in the crowd is insane. It’s just a very magical feeling.
Everyone is so happy to be there with each other and just
enjoy the experience together. It’s really something else. I
feel like you definitely need to have a deeper connection
with music when there’s no words. It’s a lot harder to
feel that. But when you feel it and it hits right, its magic.
Obviously not everyones gonna like the same thing and
that’s okay. I think it’s lame when people hate on something
that’s not for them. One time I went to this thing called Freak
Style. It’s a dark party so there’s no visuals. It’s just the music
and you and the dark. It was definitely a weird at first but you
just have to connect with the music because there’s nothing
else. It was so cool being there. To me, certain songs feel
like it’s coming from somewhere, like maybe below you or
above you. I don’t know. Sometimes it feels like its coming
from inside of you. Going to shows has made me feel more
open. It introduces you to things you wouldn’t normally feel
and people from all different walks of life. You realize like
here’s this person that I never would have thought I’d have
anything in common with but I do. It’s really cool.”
