There’s been some negative news and videos online about the gatecrashing/rioting teens-out-of-control occurrences during Electric Daisy Carnival this past weekend. But what hasn’t been discussed much is how one of our own pick for, um, Worst of EDC, rapper/MC and Benny Benassi cohort Lil Jon, actually stepped up big time when it counted. And in my book, he should get a “Best of” for sure.
People taking the initiative is always welcome in a time where being bland leads to being cool. So, when someone puts out a product on a culture that’s in a creative limbo, we get to see its ups, downs, and all-arounds. With The Electro Wars, director and creatvor Stephen Vasquez wanted to capture the essence that is electro culture–from the skimpy skirts to the tightest jeans and the most distorted sounds humanly possible to manipulate. With an upcoming screening during the 2010 Winter Music Conference in Miami, Stephen took time to elaborate on his film and his origins of being a electro “warrior.”
