Electric Forest: A Magical Musical Experience Awaits
With Electric Forest just around the corner, anticipation is already bubbling in the air. Having attended in 2013 and 2015, I’m eagerly counting down the days before I step back into this enchanting realm. If you've never been, expect a whimsical atmosphere where music and nature unite, creating memories that last long after the final set is played. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned festie, finding your top acts to catch is crucial!
My Must-See Artists at Electric Forest
While I initially planned to highlight my top five picks, I simply couldn't resist expanding it to eight amazing talents! Here's a breakdown of the artists I can't wait to see at this year's festival, with a focus on their contributions to the evolving landscape of electronic music.
Innovative Bass Magic with Ahee
The anticipation to see Ahee is palpable! This innovative DJ has redefined the electronic music scene with his bold, genre-defying sound. Born Chris Adams, the California-native produces exhilarating tracks that range from dubstep to psybass. Emerging as a driving force within bass music, Ahee has graced some of the biggest stages, transitioning from a festival-goer to a must-see headliner. It’s impossible not to get hyped about his set!
The Consistency of Liquid Stranger
I've had the pleasure of witnessing Liquid Stranger's performances multiple times, and he never fails to impress. Known as Martin Stääf, this Swedish-born state-of-the-art bass artist has spent over two decades pushing the bounds of EDM. His craft blends progressive trance and dubstep into a sonic experience that resonates with listeners on a profound level. His unique blend of experimental sounds means no two sets are ever alike, making him a festival staple.
The Dark Bass Sensation: Mersiv
Every time I’ve seen Mersiv, he has absolutely crushed it. Known for his darker bass styles, Anderson Benoit Gallegos includes elements in his sets that keep audiences engaged. Rising to fame at Electric Forest in 2018, his tracks such as "Beautiful & Filthy" resonate deeply with fans. He’s not just an artist; he’s a curator at MorFlow Records, propelling new talents into the spotlight. Don't miss his electrifying performance!
Saxsquatch: The Meme-Making Maestro
Ah, the legendary Saxsquatch! His unexpected burst onto the musical landscape has made him a fan-favorite—especially among meme enthusiasts in the festival community. This multi-instrumentalist from North Carolina combines live saxophone with electronic beats, creating an irresistible groove. His sets are interactive spectacles filled with charm and fun that keep you dancing all night long.
A Festival of Connection and Culture
Electric Forest isn’t just about the music; it’s a celebration of culture and community. As we immerse ourselves in these artists' world, we forge connections with friends and fellow festival-goers. From gathering around the iconic forest stages to indulging in amazing food and art, each moment offers something special. Be sure to explore all the cultural events surrounding the festival—there’s always something new to discover!
Meet the Local Vibe
One of the most rewarding aspects of attending an event like Electric Forest is embracing the local culture. Interacting with locals who share that passion for music creates enriching experiences that enhance our own festivities. Make time to interact with your surroundings, discover hidden gems, and taste local cuisines. Trust me, it’s worth venturing beyond the stages!
