I heard about this festival while I was surfing the internet right about this time one year ago. At the time, I was searching for upcoming David Guetta appearances since he was one of the current and newest DJs I was listening to. So I searched and his shows were in the usual hotspots for DJ: Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Ibiza, and Paris. As I searched on, I happened to see him going to El Paso around Labor Day weekend. I was confused for a second and had to keep clicking the refresh button over and over to make sure it was a mistake or something. But it was true.
After being excited by the fact that Guetta was indeed coming to Texas I searched to see why was he coming to El Paso out of all places. That's where I found out about the 2-day EDM music festival and saw that Above & Beyond was headlining there as well. I was debating for about a month or two until I finally decided to go. After I committed myself to go, the rest of the lineup submerged. I didn't know too many of the DJs when I first attended the festival, but all I had on my mind was seeing David Guetta.

As I was on my way to Ascarate Park, the site of the festival, the taxi driver was kind enough to change the radio from the Latino station into a pop station that was playing electronic/dance music in honor of Sun City coming to town. The kind gesture went a long way because I've heard so many bad things about El Paso since it's right next to Juarez - the most notorious city in Mexico. These guys were so nice and kind to me from the moment I stepped foot into El Paso. I knew after I got out of the taxi and once the doors were opened for the 2-day festival to began that it was going to be memorable.
