| Let's see; there's Electric Daisy, Electric Forest, Electric Zoo.....and now the first ever and probably last ever Electric Sun. In Jacksonville, at the Morocco Shriners complex. I say "last ever" because although the DJ selection was excellent and the music was excellent, there were issues. Like only 1 stage instead of 4, and DJ's like Tiësto and Cedric Gervais cancelling out! |
 |
| Running from 1pm until 10pm yesterday, the crowd was spartan at the beginning under the quite hot Florida sun! |
 |
| DJ Jacob Lyne (S) was playing when I arrived. He was the only main stage act I had never heard of but he did a great House set which had the dozens in attendance really moving. |
 |
| The guy has potential; gonna have to look him up when I get back to Orlando. |
 |
| After an hour he turned things over to Nick Terranova, better-known as Starkillers (USA). |
 |
| His mostly House set also got the growing crowd moving! |
 |
| The line was growing to get in. Nothing like EDC in Orlando though! |
 |
| As you can see, things were picking up! |
 |
| The only Orlando person I ran into! |
 |
| He got a huge round of cheers for his performance! |
 |
| Starkillers posing while headed off the stage. |
 |
| Next up, DJ John Dahlbäck (S). |
 |
| More house with a little Dubstep and a little Trance. |
 |
| They probably don't have this kind of heat in Sweden! You may recall my article in February about the best DJ's right now are from Sweden. |
 |
| Tiësto was supposed to follow him but people were commenting that Tiësto's Facebook page had reported that he was going staight to Miami and skipping Jacksonville! That was contrary to the Electric Sunfest Facebook page which on Friday was insisting that Tiësto was playing! |
 |
You can never go wrong with Go Go Girls! |
 |
| More house and quite a bit of Trance. |
 |
| For those that listen to Sirius/XM 51 BPM, lots of familiar music. |
 |
| Early evening crowd listening and dancing! |
 |
| Better perspective showing that the event did draw EDM fans, just not enough. Acosta took his 90-minute set through sunset into darkness. |
 |
| Orlando's own DJ Icey (USA) was up next and he quickly moved the music from the mostly House we had been hearing all day and into the Breakbeats! |
 |
| He was not shy about putting out some Old Skool classics! |
 |
| He plays completely off CD's; no laptops here! |
 |
| The crowd was at its maximum as a surprising number of people showed up after dark! |
 |
| More Breaks tonight as DJ Baby Anne is supposed to play on Day 2. Also on schedule today are BT and Robbie Rivera along with Orlando DJ John Debo. |
 |
| A good perspective of all the people here for Icey! |
 |
| Close up: No room to move out there! |
 |
| Icey turning the equipment over to DJ Reid Speed. |
 |
| She's tiny, the music was anything but! She moved into mostly hard-driving Dubstep. |
 |
| There was plenty of glitches at Electric Sun.....but a good time was had by all! |
