Three Arrested After Stealing Over 70 Cellphones at EDC Orlando

22 Images That Illustrate the Stupefying Sights of EDC Orlando 2022
We’re running out of superlatives for EDC. What more can be said of Insomniac’s flagship festival brand at this point? It’s long been a lynchpin of the electronic music community, but even though EDC is considered the apotheosis of dance music hedonism, its architects are seemingly hellbent on raising the bar year after year. And after this year’s fest in Orlando, the star of EDC’s legend somehow got even brighter. There was no ambiguity when it came to Insomniac’s commitment to fan experiences.

“I Feel More Alive”: How ACRAZE Achieved Chart-Topping Success Through Sacrifice
Imagine going from the opening slot at Exchange L.A.—performing to a near-empty venue—to headlining and selling out the following year. For 26-year-old DJ and dance music producer ACRAZE, this was reality. Before becoming the red-hot “Do It To It” artist we all know and love, his music production journey started on a much different path. In an exclusive interview with EDM.com, ACRAZE admits that growing up, he “was not very musically inclined.” But his interest was piqued during his senior year of high school, when he knew he wanted to become a DJ. ACRAZE then went on to release his first original production, “Pull Up,” in 2017 via 4B‘s MACA imprint. It’s now a far cry from what fans have come to know and expect ...
