Ultra Music Festival 2005

I’m pretty stoked at the moment. I just received my ticket for Ultra Music Festival 2005. This is supposed to be America’s biggest electronic music event, which is saying something in terms of size. Although I’m expecting it to be multiple times as large as Enchanted (approx. 50,000 people are expected to attend) I doubt it’ll have the same charm as Enchanted as none of my Aussie Enchanted friends will be there! Ah well.

I’m incredibly bloody picky about what electronic music I listen to – a lot of the harder techno styles I think are utter crap and could have been written by monkeys, and most of the dance music I’ve heard whilst I’ve been over here has been… uninspiring. I dunno, if it’s dance music it has to have a certain latin flavour for me to like it but then again it can’t be too laid back. I don’t really like the really hard drum and bass stuff either. Sometimes it sounds like someone with no music knowledge at all sat on a keyboard and pressed record. But then I still do like a lot of other DnB songs. Like I said, I’m picky. So on that front I’m very interested to see what this will be like. Once I’ve recovered from this event I’ll write up a review, or something like that.
