SQZMYLMNS, the duo consisting of the deck masterminds Saul Q and Omar Ramos aka Kid Wonder, come together in the form of a tropical tech-infused hurricane: Raining down heavy, bass-laden drops that absolutely drown the dance floor with refreshing aural flows, that leave the crowds soaking wet — and always begging for more.
Day two was our day to explore the inner depths of the Electric Daisy Carnival — as the day before we found ourselves somewhat trapped inside the Coliseum’s gates.
FOUR other stages existed beyond the Coliseum’s gates — Cosmic Meadow, Circuit Grounds, Bass Pod, and the Neon Garden. One had to explore the Bass Pod, as it stationed in the very exact center of the carnival, there was little one could do to avoid it, so between sets it only felt right to embrace it.

An event wildly different than the Coachella-esque style that I’d been somewhat expecting, Electric Daisy Carnival was in a world entirely all its own. Whereas Coachella was more on the Hipster spectrum of vibe and style, EDC encompassed the epitome of every raver stereotype, come to life — and you were surrounded by nearly hundreds of thousands of them for 48 hours of pure fluorescent-lit, neon-glo rave hysteria — although a far more controlled chaos than that of Coachella.
After only five months of writing and performing as a band, the lighthearted boys of San Diego-based indie-glo-fi band LESΔNDS (Formerly known as ARROWWS) have already managed to turn the heads of the biggest critics in town, have lost a member of their team, and have been confronted with pressing legal issues — under the assumption that they will indeed be of great interest to the world…
I really don’t see why you wouldn’t?
Instead of by stage, we decided to engineer our very own guide of line-ups: Organized day by day, with set time schedules for EDC, all lined up pretty and perfect; and we even included a venue map at the bottom of each (why didn’t anybody ELSE think of this?!?!) — So you wouldn’t be lost trying to navigate your way through the crowds and carnival madness.
And we decided to share this little treasure with all of you as well — it would be rude not to right?!
So we’ve already formatted it so that it will fit absolutely perfectly on a sheet of paper — so you can stick this pretty little piece in your back pocket for frequent referencing throughout your adventures in electro wonderland…
If you’re still looking for the most amazing Electric Daisy Carnival-themed mixtape for the car ride and the after party, you’ll find the best one right here.
Still iffy about what’s allowed and what’s not, what to wear, how to deal with transportation, parking, or just need a great reference guide for the weekend?! Check out our Electric Daisy Carnival Survival Guide right here for ALL the answers!
You’ll find the guide for Saturday, after the jump.

I must have walked past this place dozens of times and had no idea it even existed. One of my friends randomly suggested it so we all decided to give it a shot. I’ll start by saying that I’m having a hard time not gushing over this restaurant because it really was an overall amazing experience! From the impressive spread of side dishes and desserts to the attentive service to the warm atmosphere, Rei do Gado really got it right!
I try to stay ahead of the “technology, music, fashion, culture, restaurant, food trend, and local curve” as much as possible: By following a BAAAAgillion different blogs/news sites of course. However, given my hyperactive and attention-deficit disposition I personally, find it “difficult” to click on EVERY blog in succession and carefully read through each one, everyday. And by “difficult”, I mean physically, no, laughably impossible.
I LOVE the L.A. Times’ website. I just do. There might be better news/lifestyle websites and I KNOW, it’s LA-focused — NOT San Diego –
However, just look at it, its lay out: IS PERFECT. Everything is just, RIGHT THERE.
Section by section, categories: News, culture, and Events – and it spits out those necessary breaking news headlines that keep me worldly-oriented — outside of la la Mixster land.
However, I obviously don’t live in L.A. So most of the “local” news for me — is totally out of context. And considering it doesn’t even begin to cover literally half the stuff I actually do focus on for this site, it’s kind of personally irrelevant for me anyways – minus the standard AP news headlines of course.
So what if I had that comfortable, clean, and organized lay out, category by category of those sources (i.e. blogs and websites) that DO interest me?
Ah ha!
Well, that is what Feedly.com is for: An add-on right into your Firefox search engine, that allows you to pick and choose which sources you want to include, and let’s you organize the interface into personalized categories; Resulting in your very own online daily magazine. Only thing that disappoints me about this site — is the fact I’ve only just found out about it NOW!!!
SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
It’s all finally happening. This thing is really really happening!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
So let’s do this RIGHT: Below you will find our carefully curated and unbelievably resourceful Survival Guide to EDC — fit to boot with EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY EVER NEED TO KNOW about careening around the wildest weekend of your summer.
Do’s and Don’ts, “Not-So-Obvious-Prohibited-Items”, Parking Maps, EVERY TAXI NUMBER in the area, what to wear, how to do your hair, our tips on who to see, who to skip, and MORE - all in our survival guide!
You’ll also find a few posts below that, the most essential EDC mixtape: Three hours of pure love and electro mayhem, featuring the best of the best and the newest of the newest from the world’s leaders on the 1s and 2s. DON’T forget to update you iPod with that lovely sonic goodness before you go.
However, this is the creme de la creme: The info we have all been waiting for is HERE IS RIGHT NOW!
The Venue Map and Set Times have been released. And we have them ALL here, ready for your eyes to feast on — after the jump.
Print out and save on your smart phones our three part EDC series, and all you’ll have to worry about this weekend honey, is keeping that sweet smile on your face and bouncing along gleefully on the aural and carnival rides you’ll likely be diving face first into. Weeeee!!!!

Electric Daisy Carnival is more than just any music festival or an underground dance music rave — it’s all that PLUS amusement park rides and carnie folk. Yep. It’s pretty weird. But the line-up, especially this year’s line up, boasts probably the most impressive round up of the world’s best DJs and producers who are at the top of their game, and will be together — all in one, same place. This year’s line-up went over and beyond anything I had expected — or actually could mentally prepare myself for, following all that Coachella desert madness.
But regardless of the excitement that lies ahead and probably the most worthwhile $120 bucks you’ll drop all summer, there’s always ways to ensure you have the MOST fun possible. Thus, we’ve responded to our call for duty, and although we are just as fiendishly excited with quivering knees for EDC as you all are, we’ve taken a step back and created a special go-to survival guide, for you to refer back to often throughout your electro wonderland of adventures;
So you’ll always be in the know, thoroughly prepared, and for those times when you’re a little lost, this will be the key that will get you where you need, no, where you should be during this 48 Hour Bender.
