Summer Vacay season is coming to a close with a handful of fantastic Vacay Festivals. Pukkelpop which is happening as I type has been sold out for quiet some time and for good reason. So make sure you don’t end up being that idiot who is listening to the live recordings because he/she didn’t get their tickets way in advance, just saying… Anyways, there are 4 superb festivals left to prepare for and 3 of them are still selling tickets. If you have tickets to Creamfields and Pukkelpop… get ready to vacay hard, and take plenty of vitamins. If you still haven’t bought a ticket for Electric Zoo, South West Four, or London Electronic Dance Festival and getting there isn’t a problem….as Rusko puts it “WAKE THE F#%@ UP”. Over the next 2 days I will put out a vacay guide that’ll help you sort everything out and prepare you for the festivities. I personally will be attending Electric Zoo and have quite a vacay plan laid out. For everyone in the northeast (US), Electric Zoo should be a no brainer.
Labor Day Vacay
Im going to be kicking off my labor day vacay a bit early and fly down to Miami to catch a couple appetizing nights of raging before I feast on Electric Zoo.
Wednesday, September 1st
Afrojack vs Steve Aoki: pitch-bending vocals Vs excessive yelling, dirty dutchman Vs flying asiaman…. this an epic showdown of heavyweights you don’t want to miss. Is there a better way to kick off Labor Vacay?
P.s. Autoerotique with a special opening set.
Event Information
Afrojack vs Steve Aoki Vitamins

Thursday, September 2nd
Vacay vs Cedric? (Set Door Guy)…. Once I hijack my way inside, they’ll be nothing but great vibes as Team DIM MAK has everything under control with co-pilots Joachim Garraud and Felix Cartal, alongside vacay navigators Autoerotique and SonicC.

there’s some serious talent up there that wasn’t approved. tisk tisk
Awesome posts. I’ll have to take all the songs and put them on a disc so I have something to remember the Zoo by.
Where the fuck is the pic that was taken of me anyway? Blonde mohawk with spiked respirator. O.o
wow why would this fag skip out on armin, the greatest trance producer this world has ever known, to see shitty dubstep by rusko?
I’m pretty sure rusko and armin didn’t overlap… but yea armin was pretty epic, but BASSNECTAR is more my cup of tea.. bass face babbyyy
agreed. and markus and cosmic gate. I would have gone fedde over joachim. Oh well
Now that E.Zoo is over and done with it is clear.
Medhi over Moby. Although Moby gave a strong performance, mixing in a lot of newer sounds and dubstep bass lines he could not top the sheer energy of the Medhi crowd and performance.
Savoy – Has Officially achieved Vacay Approved status
Major Lazer – Awful.
I’m surprised to not see Armin vacay approved, but everyone else looks sick. Wish I could have been there!
all of those electric zoo vitamins are dope. u are the man. keep up the philanthropy.
WHY WOULD YOU NOT APPROVE MAJOR LAZER #fanboyrage
