chat is already providing endless entertainment and the music hasn't even started yet

Disabled now unfortunately.

Wasn't working. Now it is.

Chat is working fine, expect Brain Power meme spam.

EDC did the jump around to a new stage every 15 minutes and that didn't work either (And they used Yahoo...). I think the only solution that satisfy the viewers is basically full stream every stage but that would require too much work.

The Ultra stream is miles ahead of the other big EDM festival streams. EDC and Tomorrowland/world jump around like you said and are pure crap. It would just be nice to see more video streams like they do for Coachella. I think most people would be thrilled to have the main stage, the asot stage and maybe the Carl cox stage streamed. I would say those are the biggest three.

 

[Akala]

I'd pay money for uninterrupted video feeds of the main stages with similar quality they usually have.

Hopefully it stops with the video freezes. I have already seen like seven martin garrix commercials.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

The hive sounds begin...

Julian Jordan isn't too bad a Garrix signing...

 

[aorange999]

There needs to be a feed for every stage, 'freemium' model just charge a fee to get access to switching and a mp3 download after the sets. Somewhere around $25 for a weekend pass + dl could make sense from a business standpoint.

I would fucking love an ASOT video stream. He already has video streams set up at his other ASOT shows. I think he said once he would like to do it at Ultra but Ultra wouldn't let him. I mean, if you aren't going to let the guy have his own stream, do it yourself then!

edit: goddamn this music is generic. I always laugh at the twitter comments

"FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMGGGGGG"

Like, are they serious?

 

[Oxn]

Blasterjaxx is pretty disappointing

 

[Ashhong]

Blasterjaxx is pretty disappointing

Can't really blame him I guess. Everybody plays shit on the mainstage. Only one that tried something different that I know of is Avicii, and we all know how that went..

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Big room, hive sounds, big bass, minimalist build ups, trap and tropical house only

Everything else need not apply

 

[Secret Character]

Blasterjaxx is pretty disappointing

Seriously. This is pretty terrible actually.

 

[Ashhong]

At least we get both Prydz and Deadmau5 on Sunday. Hope they get decent air time.

 

[Anth0ny]

All I can ask for out of Blasterjaxx is a decent, bro-tastic big room set I can listen to at the gym

 

[MedIC86]

Seriously. This is pretty terrible actually.

i think its awesome, already heard some very nice new tracks.

 

[Ashhong]

Do these people at the main stage buy tickets to Ultra to hear this kind of music? Or do you think they go for the sidestage artists?

Who am I kidding..

 

[Oxn]

The 1st Blasterjaxx new music was not good, this 2nd one they are doing right now is meh also.

Dash Berlin save us.

 

[Jarnet87]

Would be nice to get video stream of those 2 sets but we got the audio as a backup. If they show Carnage over Deadmau5

from my experience at these events, it's always mostly 16 or 17 year olds. probably their first festival. I sure any loud music is good enough for the younger crowd and a set like this is more than fine for that crowd.


molly also helps

 

[Secret Character]

Man if Prydz's set is anything close to the one had had last year, I'll be so happy.

 

[Ashhong]

I have bad news for you......

Dash Berlin aint saving anybody

I'd be more interested in Prydz. He does more visually. But I do want to see what Deadmau5 brings for ASOT..

Yea that's true. But I mean, these guys are putting down 500$+ dollars for this experience. You have to go in thinking "damn, I can't wait to hear this music!" to justify that cost. At least I would lol

 

[Oxn]

Can someone help me with a song? Ive heard it many times before but never found the name to it.

The lyrics go something like this.

"Visions of ____, visions of _______," bah bah bah "I wont give up again!!!!!!!" dun dun, dun dun, dun dun dun dun.

Carnage has the worst crowd.

I went to one of his show at Webster hall. Not only was it literally 85% dudes, it was just Mosh pits at every corner.

l

Prydz comes on at 7:30 Sunday, same time slot as David Guetta. That's another facepalm if the stream shows Guetta over God Prydz.

I don't even consider him a dance music producer/dj, all I hear from him is straight rap.

 

[Smushroomed]

Sitting in my hotel right now waiting to walk to ultra

It's me and a bunch of late 20 to 30 year olds, enjoying our spring break.


We went to Disneyworld earlier this week so it's different a nice change of pace to see young hot bodies

Gonna get fucked up and party


I went to edc 7 years in a row, didn't go last year because of burnout, but I'm excited for this weekend

UMF!

Which is weird because usually they show all the hot guys and girls on the streams and aftermovies

lol this is true.

all I can think of is... daddy paid for the tickets? or they're blowing their entire paycheck from old navy on this event #yolo

 

[cdyhybrid]

Resistance stream is good.

 

[Oxn]

Blasterjaxx exclusive #3.

Another disappointment.

Maybe just me but is he trying to be the Avicii?

He's trying to follow that formula, but it sounds nowhere close.

Also, LOL at "technical difficulties"

Yea thats what Im getting. Like I dont like this current Avicii, but atleast he does what he does right.

I haven't heard Avicii in a while, but he makes music like this now? I've always loved Avicii, even his country phase. But if he's making super generic stuff like this I might have to write him off...

wtf bringing out an Armin remix now, okay.

and then they cut it off?! fuckkk

 

[MedIC86]

Carnage has the worst crowd.

When i went to carnage were i live (netherlands during ADE) it was an awesome crowd with carnage, very nice girls and no pits....

 

[WesternHeretic]

Few of my friends went this year all in their 30s. Not all kids there lol. I couldn't get time off : /.

What do they go for? Specific artists? Experience? Just wondering

I had to turn it off. Don't know who this guy is but he started playing Sabotage and...nope. I'll check back for Dash. Looking forward to Kygo though

 

[HabeeNo]

Gonna be tuned into the Resistance Stage for like 90% of it.

Ultra stream for mau5, Prydz, and Armin on Sunday, since Armin only delivers at the ASOT stage, and plays poptrance at main stage

Bank, accounting, bank, real estate.

I didn't ask what they do for a living lol. I meant why do they go to Ultra.

 

[Oxn]

Yea i feel conned.

Aftermovies always have such good looking people.

Edit: i just have the stream continously going on my ipad pro. PIP is so awesome.

 

[WesternHeretic]

I didn't ask what they do for a living lol. I meant why do they go to Ultra.

Oh i have no clue, but i would assume pretty standard big room mainstage stuff and ASOT.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Maybe Ultra shouldn't have raised the age and ticket price. Seems like less people are present overall. Now granted its still early but compared to the streams from last year and the year before that worldwide stage would have been packed.

Now some people see less people there is better but still...not a good look for the cameras

When it gets dark the main stage will be packed

 

[Oxn]

Holy crap at those empty seats.

But yea once its dark it should fill up.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Literally no one present for this set

 

[Akala]

This poor guy lol. Decent tho

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Considering he's also playing this on a launchpad too. He's actually doing work compared to pressing spacebar

 

[Oxn]

Whos everyones favorite unknown/underrated dj?

 

[l2ounD]

What did you guy think of raiden?
That last mashup with U&I was awesome.

His set was decent, but yea that song was pretty good.
