One of the biggest events around the world is Ultra Music
Festival (UMF). It is so big that it is an event that pretty much everyone
travels around the world just to see. Held in Jamsil stadium this year, there
have been many who traveled to Korea from other countries just to experience
and see the sets of world famous DJs which include, but are not limited to:
AVICII, Kaskade, Afrojack, Fedde Le Grand, Cazzette, Boy George, Shut Da
Mouth, and Carl Cox.
It is a two day party of chaos and fun with three stages,
over sixty acts from mid afternoon until night time with after party of course!
UMF is such a big event that there are people who are willing to pay $150 for
tickets the day of events. Yes, just that big. There is not only a VIP section,
but a VVIP section. The amount of fun and chaos that goes on is just beyond
explainable. The best part is being able to share it with those who are not at
the event, but able to listen in online.
Lucky for me, I got the pleasure of being backstage of Shut
Da Mouth’s set along with the emcee Pinnacle TheHustler. It was definitely an
experience to be behind the scene, meeting a ton of awesome people which includes the unforgettable DJ Agent Smith (because of his awesome fro) and at the
end of the day, enjoying the main acts through the night. Of course, this comes
with a price of lots of energy drinks as well as pain with the crowd jumping up
and down and squeezing to the front of the acts. Being able to immerse myself to the music and enjoy every moment of it was something that made the not so great experience, pretty awesome, after all. Nonetheless, it was something
to experience and always a great memory.
This definitely makes it another great experience and
explains how awesome it is to live in Korea. The number of people you meet, the connections you make, it just makes you remember and feel grateful for every experience. Not everyone is as snobby and as stuck up as you think they could be after "making it." That is probably the best part about going out to gigs like this.It tops my experience last year with World DJ Fest by meeting a ton of awesome DJs and people in general. Can’t wait to see what else is in store for me! Photos definitely do no justice for the day/night that I had.
