Normally, Thanksgiving is a weekend gathering with family and friends and eating good food. However, instead of a traditional Thanksgiving this year for me, it was “Trancegiving” at Dreamstate SoCal in San Bernardino. I got to spend two days with amazing ravers and a weekend full of one of my favorite subgenres of EDM: trance music. This year’s lineup was stacked with some of the best trance artists out there, such as Gareth Emery, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottovani, Bryan Kearney, and many more. Continue Reading

A few weeks later, I got the amazing email that my dream came true! I was notified that I was selected as one of the Unicorns for EDC Orlando and was about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.  Continue Reading

The Magic Behind the Rave Culture: My Experience Meeting Rezz

My boyfriend, Jake, is a fellow EDM lover and Cult member. However, he suffers from an incurable inner-ear disease which rapidly progressed a few weeks before we hit the road to Shambhala this past summer.
