The Electric Zoo Festival is going down in New York City this weekend, and it’s on track to be one of the most significant dance music festivals of 2009! …so of course RV is going to be there on the frontline bringing you full exclusive coverage of the festivities…I’m talking about exclusive video, photos, interviews, and more 
Why do I say The Electric Zoo Festival is “on track to be one of the most significant dance music festivals of 2009″? …after all, that’s a strong statement when you consider the likes of WMC, Sonar, DEMF, etc.
Well, let’s start with perhaps the most important factor for any dance music festival – the talent. The Electric Zoo lineup is simply first-rate, and (I think just as importantly) it’s diverse! You’ve got the rock star acts like Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Benny Benassi, and Deadmau5. Then, you’ve got the lords of techno like Richie Hawtin and Adam Beyer, along with Steve Bug, Marco Carola, and Audion. You’ve also got dance floor pounders like Danny T (one of my all-time favorites!), Victor Calderone, and Roger Sanchez…and the list goes on and on!
In addition to the event’s exceptional lineup, I also think The Electric Zoo Festival will be special simply because it’s in New York City! This point is not to be overlooked. NYC is not only the city where I fell down the dance music rabbit hole, it’s also a city that has had an enormous impact on the dance music scene since the earliest days. When you research the history of dance music, you inevitably read about legendary figures and clubs in NYC.
I’ve been in touch with the dance music scene in NYC for about a decade now – from the heyday of Sasha and Digweed at Twilo to Paul Van Dyk in Central Park – and I’d have to say The Electric Zoo Festival represents a new milestone for the city. I mean no disrespect to previous NYC festivals like Minitek, but The Electric Zoo Festival is setting a new benchmark. Simply put, I don’t remember a dance music festival going down in NYC that had such a diverse, star-studded lineup while being so well-promoted and organized.
Since this is a major dance music event, we would be remiss in our duties if we didn’t cover it for you! So, just as we did for WMC and DEMF, RV is going to be bringing you in-depth, exclusive coverage of The Electric Zoo Festival. We’ll be getting video coverage of the primo sets. We’ll also be getting professional-grade photos and behind-the-scenes audio interviews…and, of course, we’ll give you some editorial content to give you unique insight into the event.
Our aim is to help you experience The Electric Zoo Festival with us!
