10 Sets That Will Show You A Different Side Of EDC Las Vegas

There are two kinds of people in the world: People who are going to Electric Daisy Carnival, and people who are everything that’s wrong with the world. No, not really, we’re just kidding… Kind of. Because if you’ve been going to these events, it honestly does sort of feel that way. No matter how emotionally bankrupt the electronic music scene has become over the years, you know how you felt the first time you danced under the electric sky - and you keep coming back year after year in hopes that you’ll feel a little of that same magic, even though times have changed so much.

We’ve already told you how we feel about Armin Van Buuren’s “pure trance” side project with his co-producer, Benno De Goeij, and it’s really about time that the organizers of Electric Daisy Carnival got these two behind the decks to demonstrate what real trance is all about.

Pure trance is a style of trance with faster BPMs and more brooding melodies, and any fan of the genre owes it to themselves to catch at least one Gaia set this summer. So, why not start with EDC?

8) MitiS

MitiS’ Living Color EP from a couple months ago proved that EDM artists don’t have to be one-trick ponies to land a time slot at EDC after all. His productions on the effort ranged from trance to progressive to drum and bass – all the while managing to maintain his signature sound throughout.

Bright and uplifting, his shimmering synth stacks and euphoric melodies remain constant throughout all of his tracks, anchoring his sound to a strong central theme.
