Club Report: EPCOT Italy

Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat.  New Years Eve, EPCOT-Italy, DJ Mark Sanchez, Repeat!
The Italian piazza packed as far at the eye could see!
Mark Sanchez (Firestone Live, Club V) playing "85% Euro Techno-Pop", lol!
While the lasers were flying!!
It was like partying under the stars in Venezia itself!
The music was all stuff you'd recognize from EDM radio stations although he surprised me with some Breakbeats in there too!
Dancing in all the corners!
Spotted: Blog reader ClubMaster with fiance'!
Forget Hip Hop, the peeps want techno! The term "techno" is used here as the generic term for electronic dance music, not as the specific electronic dance music genre known as "Techno".
After intermission for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth, the music resumed with a couple dozen partiers occupying the DJ podium. Disney Security had to chase them off.
Italy has the most elaborate DJ stage in EPCOT on NYE. His post-fireworks set was more Progressive House than the House/Dance he was playing earlier.
Sanchez hinted that he might be more active on the local DJ scene this coming year!
Because in EPCOT last night, a good time was had by all!
Happy New Year everyone!

Soooo..maybe don't call it Techno? Try "EDM" since that's what it is.

Sorry, but 50% of the Blog's viewers are not here for the music part of our coverage and for most of them, techno (lower case) is the generic term for electronic dance music.

As Newsweek described it: "techno, a blanket term that describes music made on computers and electronic gadgets instead of conventional instruments, and performed by deejays instead of old-fashioned bands."

When the Blog refers to the genre of Techno, it will be capitalized.

it's insulting to the other 50% of us that know that you're usually referring to the various forms of house music when you call it "techno".

EDM is a nice safe middle ground.

Just sayin. ;)

EDM = Electronic Dance Music = techno music and will continue to be used interchangeably in postings.
