EDC New York’s location changes; Woodstock no longer venue!
Insomniac Events’ plans to host EDC New York and the infamous grounds of the ’94 Woodstock festival have now been cancelled by local government, as supervisor Kelly Myers released a statement, citing insufficient resources as the cause of venue change. During a town hall meeting on Wednesday, Myers mentioned that the 75,000 odd attending event would be far beyond the scope of local infrastructure, also stating that fire and ambulances did not feel they could swiftly and safely provide aid in case of any emergencies.
The owners of Winston Farms, the Schaller family also aren’t too comfy hosting an EDM festival on their property. It seems like the local government as well as the Schaller family saw eye to eye, regarding a bunch of aspects regarding an event of this magnitude. With North American festivals already coming under the knife, for all the tragedies occurring, such a decision might not be so bad after all. At the end of the day, safety and health of all attendees should be primary priority, period.

The hybrid tune features a nice mix of the deep, hard-sounding kick drum and basslines with Yasmine’s vocals laid on to that.
