I sincerely apologize for not knowing every single EDM artist with less than two years of raving. I’ll do better next time… just kidding idgaf I went to my first festival knowing like five artists. The best way to find artists is to experience them live.
My “best friend” woke me up by saying she’s moving out 🙃 like in the middle of packing with a bunch of people in my apartment and I had a full blown panic attack and now I’m drunk at 1pm and her and her stuff are gone ✌🏼
Raves are my happy place & I refuse to let people ruin it, unless it’s a medical emergency. 2 times I brought non-ravers & they caught an attitude bc they wanted to leave like 2 hours early. You do you baby boo, get an Uber. I’ll be here until 15 mins before the music shuts off.
I feel bad for people who don’t have equally obsessed edm friends because we’ve been texting pretty much non stop about couch lands. Every time something cool happens someone is like “DID YOU SEE THAT?”
This boy raves, DJs, is smart, funny, hot as fuck, likes crystals, likes cats, he’s traveled so many places. We have two more dates planned this week. I see no red flags and now I’m scared.
Things I experienced at my first Lost Lands:
-The kindest crowds
-So many people carrying narcan (even saw it being used)
-Almost every DJ brought someone out
-The best sets I’ve ever seen. From the production to the music every single DJ went hard
-SO MUCH ROOM TO DANCE!!!
I can understand how all dubstep sounds the same to people who don’t listen to it much but i (& most of us probably) can listen to a song for the first time without looking at who it’s from and be able to tell who the producer is.
The edm community is hurting so bad right now. Losing three people who had so much love for the community & such kind & pure souls in the same week is a wound that wont easily heal. Tell people how much they mean to you & please stay safe. My thoughts are with their loved ones 💔
I know we don’t actually want people like this at shows, but just imagine people showing up at an excision event thinking it’s a shrek rave. I just— they will not know what hit them.
I know everyone who is highlighted, who else should I listen to so I can make my list of must-see’s? Bonus points if it’s some of the names at the bottom
My sister turned 21 in April and she was always the golden child and I’ve (obviously) been the psychotic problem child. She lives in Rhode Island so we haven’t gone out together but we are picking her up for Vegas at noon tomorrow and I’m about to teach her the problem child ways
Guys I recognize that I do not know a lot of the bottom artists which is why I asked for the suggestions. I’ve only gone to two festivals outside of AZ and they reuse a lot of the same artists. I don’t have endless money to spend on shows so I usually go to artists I already love
I put that I’m attracted to people who listen to dubstep, can cook, and like cats on my hinge and every guy swipes up like “what a coincidence. I’m cooking a 5 course meal while listening to excision with my 3 cats”
People are quote tweeting like “oh my god I can’t believe you don’t know this song” meanwhile I was literally 12 years old when the song came out. Ma’am I was playing with my wii and barbies not listening to EDM
What music do people who don’t listen to edm work out to? You can’t tell me a rap song is going to give you more motivation then Fight Through The Pain or Muscleville or Gassed Up or Body Bag or
Lost lands ticket day is the most active day of the year for EDM Twitter because it’s 10,000 tweets about fighting for your lives trying to get them and then another 10,000 screenshots of “im going to lost lands”
“Let’s hang out!” Well okay but I was at LL for 5 days and then I went to work for 5 days and then I went to Basstrack and now I’m working 10 hr shifts for 11 days straight and possibly going to goldrush and then I’m going to Vegas next weekend. So we might have to wait on that.
I think people are a little too hard on DJ’s having the same set for multiple shows/fests. If you see any artist in another genre multiple times on the same tour, they’d perform basically the same thing every time. Sometimes for YEARS.

Please be safe guys. Besides everything that happened at nocturnal, there have already been plenty of horrible things to happen at LL. The fact that people dose anyone without consent is insane, but to do it by TOUCHING SOMEONE puts a whole different type of fear out there.
This is why I stick to my rave friends. We will preparty, go 6-12 hours at a festival, and then go to an afterparty. You have me allll the way fucked up if you think I’m spending hundreds of $$ to go for a couple hours & listen to you yelling at ME bc YOUR phone froze
I loved lost lands so much but holy shit some of the campsites are so far. I was out of breath just walking to the village marketplace because of those hills.
I was talking to someone about how active edm DJs are on social media and he asked me if I thought it was their team and not them. I told him that I didn’t think so but I knew for sure
@johnsummit
was running his own account 😂😂
If u think all dubstep is the same, dont listen to it. If u don’t like an artist, don’t listen to them. Acting like we are holding a gun to you & forcing u to listen. I dont like country music but I dont tweet about it 24/7. In fact I’ve never tweeted it all. Learn to be silent.
What those men did is terrible, and by all means they do not deserve people being kind to them, but immediately jumping to fat shaming people makes it seem like you were just waiting for the moment you could say it and I’m side eyeing the fuck out of you.
That being said I do want to spend most of Lost Lands watching new artists so I’m making a spreadsheet when I get home from work with all of the people you’ve mentioned so I can make sure to check them all out
At hard summer last year, my friends left Marauda b2b Svdden Death to see 21 Savage (mistake) and I stayed (obviously) with a girl who was standing next to me and she took me to the rail and I still won’t shut up about it.
My favorite thing on EDM Twitter this week is the countless DJs posting that Rezz followed them. They are fangirling like they aren’t on the same lineups she is and it’s so cute.
This boy raves a LOT more than me (I’m BROKE) and we haven’t been apart more than 1 day since we started hanging out a week ago. Now he’s at a festival and I am learning that I will be struggling every weekend from now on.
Edm Twitter=
✅ Horny tweet
✅ Bad take
✅ Song/festival announcement
✅ Someone hating an artist
✅ Lost Lands countdown
✅ Predator discourse
✅ Another horny tweet
My mom is feeding my cats while I’m in Vegas this weekend. Despite being almost 23 years old I’m still hiding my bong, weed/psychedelic paintings, and temporarily taking the half naked hooters girl playing cards that are taped up all over my bathroom.
Just bc you dont see it doesnt mean we arent. I see tweets about Palestine on EDM Twitter everyday. U cannot expect people to EXCLUSIVELY post about it. Both things can happen. How about instead of pushing people into performative activism u post some resources to actually help.
My job told me they couldn’t give me the night off for
@SlanderOfficial
so I got another job and put in my two week notice. My last day is the day before Slander… so guess who’s definitely going?? 🥳🤪
Like you cannot tell me you’d listen to a Virtual Riot song and not immediately be able to tell. Or Subtronics, Excision, Barely Alive, BTSM, Deathpact, Kai Wachi etc. They all throw that signature sound in every song.

I’m making BAGSS full for my friends to give out at EDCLV next month. Like over 100. And we are getting together to make more. Just gotta find the right people.
Saying something pretty tone deaf is one thing. But doubling down in a worse way and then insulting the people who got you where you are a day later is NASTY WORK. How has no one taken your Twitter away? Have you seen what happened to Noah schnapp? You really want that life?
I love when EDM Twitter arguments are so loud that the DJs step in and go “relax ✋🏼” I just know that they open the app and sigh every time. They are like parents chastising us lmaoooo
I… the person who cannot go to the grocery store alone…. Am flying to lost lands and possibly camping alone. Not exactly sure yet. But this is my exposure therapy.
“Theres no proof” Do you expect us to record it? Do you not think that if we were fighting to get away that we might not have free hands to record your “proof”. I was younger than 5 the 1st time it happened. Didn’t even have a phone. How am I supposed to get your “proof” then?
I had a real life Barbie moment this morning when immediately after I woke up in a guys bed, he pulled out a guitar and started playing it to me. I couldn’t stop laughing.
@Capt_butler96
The only out of state fests I’ve gone to are EDC and Hard Summer so I haven’t really had a lot of time to see the smaller artists unless they opened up for people I know or I found them myself. Arizona fests tend to have the same lineups
I think holding up “excuse me” on your phone while walking through the crowd is so smart because do you know how many times I felt dread over trying to figure out how often to say it? If I said it to every person I passed, I wouldn’t even get through it before the next person.
I’m obsessed with the breakfast corndogs made out of sausage and pancake and I was going to get them at the store but then decided not to because I never eat breakfast but now I’m CRAVING one so bad
My apartment complex is about to charge my neighbors for their Halloween decorations because they “want the apartments to look uniform” so we can “take pride in our community”. What community? The one with no hot water and AC that got shut off multiple times in summer in ARIZONA?
Me: why does my stomach hurt all the time
Also me: EVERYTHING MUST BE SPICY. Franks in Mac & cheese, Carolina reaper sauce on teriyaki chicken, cayenne & chipotle pepper on sandwiches. Give me extra hot salsa on my chipotle bowl & then add more. I want to feel my taste buds die.
This is my worst nightmare. Sorry not sorry I will NEVER be interested in you if I find out you’re a loser ass “no one deserves rights besides white straight people and global warming doesn’t exist” type person.

And that’s a you problem. That’s why body mods are a thing, so a MAJORITY of people do. You don’t like tattoos? Basically the same thing. Changes the way you look to make you more confident.
Ive been living in this apartment since march and I have only been able to a handful of warm showers. I cannot fathom justifying having a $1500 1 bedroom apartment with no hot water. They have tried to fix it like 5 times now. How is water even able to be freezing cold in ARIZONA
My ex roommate stole a rave outfit from me and just posted a picture of her and the girl she randomly moved out to live with at a rave wearing the outfit 🙂
So many people shit on “EDM influencers” but then tweet shit like “I’d (insert some gross thing here) for tickets to (insert festival or show here)”. They don’t have to do all that. They just have to bring a ring light & make some tiktoks. You’d clearly do it too.
This is one of the best parts about being a raver. DJs are just silly little guys who will show up at a random Airbnb after the fest to play an afterparty.
I’ve been OBSESSED with ghost adventures since I was a child because I was haunted by a demon for a long time (long story) but my entire family said no to the zak bagans museum because you have to sign a waiver but my best friend and her husband said yes so guess where I’m going
The Basstrack Radiate chat has, in a couple of hours, pulled together a huge party with a lineup and the creator of radiate himself offered to donate money to help. I love the EDM community.
Radiate is going wild right now about Basstrack possibly being cancelled. As of right now it seems they just had small issues because of rain but they told vendors it is still going on as scheduled.
