Not all festivals even try to deliver nine separate stages. In fact, most don’t. But for anyone who was in attendance for San Francisco’s 14th annual Outside Lands festival, it was a variety-lover’s paradise.

With the original album out for nearly a year, electronic music producers have reimagined Grimes‘ Miss Anthropocene from a rave perspective. The synthpop songstress brought together numerous high-profile electronic artists, including Richie Hawtin, Tale of Us, and REZZ to make her remix album Miss Anthropocene (Rave Edition) a reality.
