STORY: Has the Music Business Turned a Corner? RIAA Reports First Revenue Increase in 7 Years I’ve seen the magic of a well-organized rave, Creamfields Buenos Aires 2006 was unreal, and I know as a community we can improve the standards for these events in the future.Also set to take the EDMBiz podium are AM Only’s CEO Paul Morris, Stephanie LaFera, President/COO of Atom Empire and Donnie Estopinal, CEO of Disco Donnie Presents. Don’t keep stuffing us in like cattle – it creates anxiety and frustration, which just brings everyone down. Check IDs at the gate, create more chill spaces, and allow the event to sell out. With that said, I also believe that for the most part, these events could be better managed and have better security.
I’m not exaggerating when I say a rave can feel like home. People live for the music, the DJs and the unforgettable experience that the rave environment brings to life. raves are mind-blowing events that thousands look forward to every year. These benefits do not justify the end of a young teen’s life, but then who is to blame? From an economic point of view, the event generates about a million dollars for the Coliseum and creates about 4,000 jobs, both two important considerations in a time of national recession and a California bankruptcy. and it would break my heart if they really did put an end to it.
None-the-less, there is no other event like it in the U.S. Last year’s EDC felt downright claustrophobic and there were rumors that promoters had oversold the event. raves including Monster Massive, I am not surprised to hear the news. As a three-time attendee of EDC, as well as an enthusiastic fan of other large L.A. While drug use is widespread, if not expected at these events, this story has gained momentum following the announcement of Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky calling for a moratorium on the staging of future raves at the Coliseum, saying the public needs to be assured that “the health and safety of the promoter’s patrons are protected” at future events. This year, an unfortunate drug-related death of a young teen has caught the ear and eye of the media and has now become a topic of debate among the Los Angeles community. Known for carnival rides, art demonstrations, and the occasional USC marching band show among the multiple stages pounding out the best of house, electro, trance and techno, EDC provides extreme entertainment value for the thousands of eager attendees. Where this is clearly visible is the attendance of this past weekend’s Electric Daisy Carnival.ĭubbed the largest electronic music dance party in the county, nearly 200,000 people attended Electric Daisy Carnival at the L.A.
This shift in music culture has directly impacted the attendance of the commercial electronic music events and has without question created a rave revival in the city Los Angeles. The music has spoken and is speaking for itself and consequently grabbing the attention of those who had previously never really paid attention to it. Steve Angello, Sander Kleinenberg, Mark Knight, and James Zabiela are just some of the names that are becoming familiar on local club lineups. No, not the Lil’ Jon electro mashup kind of electronica music, (although he pops up now again on rave stages for unknown reasons), I’m speaking of the real heavy hitter DJs and producers that play at the most renown parties across the globe. Over the past few years, Los Angeles has increasingly become an international hub for electronic music.
