OK, not really. But we’re really struggling to un-see the image of our favorite minimal techno white guy Richie Hawtin’s face photoshopped onto 50 Cent’s body in this rather amusing photo gallery done up by the gang at Mixmag (presumably after a full weekend at Fabric.) Or how about Tiesto as, um, Richie Hawtin?

Electric Daisy Carnival founder and chief executive Pasquale Rotella has written an op-ed piece that was published in today’s LA Times. In the article, Rotella finally speaks out about the unfair targeting of EDC by the media that eventually pushed the festival out of Los Angeles after 15 consecutive years and millions of dollars in revenue for the city.
