How big an artist is in the Dance Music Industry, like any other industry, is how he markets him/herself. It’s all about branding, as we can see with many artists. However, some of these guys take the marketing aspect to whole new levels.
At Ultra, when almost the entire world has come out to see their favourite electronic producers/DJs perform, it serves as the perfect platform for many artists to showcase their merchandise. However some of these are really, really quirky, interesting, and funny and some of them are just downright ridiculous.
