This was the first year that New York was host to a Electronic and Dance Music festival of this magnitude, with 26,000 people streaming into the festival grounds over the Labor Day weekend. Organized by Made Events (known for bringing together top talent at parties at WMC Miami and elsewhere), the festival brought some of the world's best DJ's into the Big Apple to dazzle and wow party people from across the globe with the beautiful, crazy, and eccentric sounds of techno. My two days at the festival were spent for the most part at the Sunday School Hilltop Tent - home to the Detroit sound, minimal, techno, dark house... my favorite kind of dance music. And what a lineup! I caught sets by Paco Osuna, Luciano, Marco Carola, Deadmau5, and Francois K on the first day with more treats the following day - Audion, Adam Beyer, Steve Bug, Victor Calderone and Richie Hawtin. Here's a glimpse of the happenings from a weekend in the big city. Enjoy!
