ADAM BEYER
After discovering house music in 2010, I dabbled in the different sects of electronica and found myself in love. In March of 2011, I made my official crossover from rap-enthusiast to househead when I attended Ultra Music Festival. Nearly a year later, I cannot wait to return to my stomping grounds and once again bask in the harmonious music and beating sunshine.
Last year’s festival was an incredible experience, but as a newbie, I had a lot to learn. The low-point of my weekend was when my ticket was ripped off of the lanyard strewn around my neck by a drunken fool. The maniac grabbed the ticket that was hanging above my chest, and ran. Luckily, my mother had always instilled within me the importance of self-defense, so I lunged at the crazy kid who attempted to steal the $275 ticket and returned the item to its rightful owner... me.
Sweden. Top exports include: Women like Elin Nordegren, Volvos, Sonys, Superstar DJs, (and okay, fine, Swedish Fish.)
Since we prefer not to give The Jersey Shore credit for the sudden craze over house music, we can high-five that cold little country most Americans can’t locate on a map for bringing us the likes of Adam Beyer, Ida Engberg, Par Gravnick, Aril Brikha, and Christian Smith, as well as Axwell, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso (the latter three comprising the Swedish House Mafia), and acclaimed newcomer Aviici.
The highly anticipated announcement from District 36 has finally come. The opening event for the new 36th Street nightclub will be on September 17, 2010, perfectly timed with the culmination of Fashion Week in New York City. Featuring Adam Beyer and Ida Engberg, the opening night promises to be one of nightlife's most exclusive red carpet evenings.

The official festival runs from May 23rd until the 25th at Detroit's Hart Plaza, while The Prodigy will perform at an opening party on May 22 at the Fillmore Detroit.
