MONO/WMC Journal: Day 3...the day of Ultra

So we are up at...12? or somewhere around there. It's definitely noon. Getting to bed at 5am is weird, feels like college all over again. So it's time to grab some food and meet up with Steve Aoki. We get to the hotel and wait in the lobby. They have sharks in the tank all along the wall. This is a nice ass hotel.

Steve meets up with us, he's got some killer new things going on with Dim Mak. We can't disclose any of those here, but they are pretty big. We'll be speaking with him in the future about other "things".

It's now time to head over to Ultra. I don't think we know what we are getting ourselves into. When I first heard mention of it, I thought it was some nightclub. YEAH, I WAS WRONG! It's starting to heat up a bit, definitely the hottest day so far. It's still really nice outside though. We've got press and VIP passes so we can bypass going through the entire festival and get golf carted to the Carl Cox tent. We have a meeting with Moby when we get there.

Conversation is super tough especially being right behind the tent. It is ridiculously loud in there.

Carl comes out to meet us. He really really digs the products.

I decide to enter the pit to take a few shots. I am soooo glad I have earplugs. The mains are right next to pit so passing by them you can feel the air being pushed so much so that it vibrates your entire body. I swear I felt my colon shake. Erick Morillo is up and he is a favorite over here. Moby goes on next and pumps the crowd up.
