Insomniac's 2012 Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas Generated More Than $207 Million for Clark County Source: Kirvin Doak Communications October 02, 2012 14:00 ET Insomniac's 2012 Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas Generated More Than $207 Million for Clark County LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - Oct 2, 2012) - The three-day Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) held at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in June 2012 pumped an estimated $207 million into the Clark County economy, according to an economic impact report released today by Beacon Economics, LLC. The study, commissioned by the producers of Electric Daisy Carnival, revealed that 90% of the attendees traveled from outside the Las Vegas area, combining with the local market for spending of more than $103 million, a 45.4% increase over 2011. This included more than $28.3 million spent in accommodations, $19.8 million in transportation, $19.6 million in dining, $17.2 million in gaming, $10.5 million in entertainment and $7.9 million in retail. In 2011, EDC attracted an astounding 230,000 fans to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and a post-EDC study by Beacon Economics revealed that 98% of them planned to return to Las Vegas for the event in 2012. Not only did they return, but they brought their friends, setting a new record in 2012 with a total attendance of more than 320,000 fans coming to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the EDC experience over three days, following a sellout at 345,000 tickets. "Our team worked day and night to ensure that this summer's festival was the most ambitious to date and the fans responded overwhelmingly, traveling to Las Vegas earlier and staying longer," said Pasquale Rotella, President and CEO of Insomniac. "For the second year in a row our fans' loyalty has helped support the Las Vegas community by generating millions in tax dollars and providing jobs. Las Vegas has embraced us and I'm excited to continue our work together." During EDC 2012, Las Vegas saw revenues spike as Insomniac expanded EDC to include the first ever "EDC Week." EDC Week included special pool parties and nightlife events surrounding the festival as well as the inaugural EDMbiz Conference, which hosted industry professionals for three days of seminars and panel discussions. "The activities surrounding the festival weekend brought fans to Las Vegas for several days before and after the event, so they were still able to get a taste of the EDC experience even if they did not have tickets to the sold-out main event," said Rotella. The week-long activities drew more visitors to the area for an extended period of time resulting in $70.6 million more in output, 618 more full-time equivalent jobs, $28.5 million more income for Clark County workers, and an estimated $4.2 million in state and local taxes than the year prior. Daily attendance peaked at 82,000 in 2011 while the 2012 festival sold out with daily attendance peaking at 115,000 revelers. The festival created an estimated $13.1 million in tax revenue for state and local government, the equivalent of 2,018 full-time jobs, bringing in $84 million in income for workers in Clark County. "We are very pleased with the production and growth of EDC," said Pat Christenson, president of Las Vegas Events. "EDC created a new business conference and significantly increased festival attendance. Insomniac continues to raise the bar with their unique sensory spectacle." Beacon Economics estimated the amount of spending generated by EDC Las Vegas using data collected via a comprehensive survey of more than 22,000 attendees and data provided by Insomniac. Plans for the 17th annual Electric Daisy Carnival and its return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, including the return of the highly acclaimed EDMbiz Conference, will be announced in the near future.

  • Satan's Trance Media & Magic Final Exam Colleen Viana 12
    SATAN’S TRANCE MEDIA & MAGIC FINAL EXAM https://vimeo.com/55339082 COLLEEN VIANA 12/11/12 Sensation can be defined as the mediation of body and world. It enforces and impacts a premonition of what our bodies experience upon some type of contact. Thus, it allows the body to be opened up to other forces and becomings that affirm in and as the future. This concept, posed by Elizabeth Grosz in Chaos, Territory, Art: Deleuze and the Framing of the Earth, is quite eminent in the subject of magic. The quandry of it as the mediation of object and experience, or science and religion, is what drew me to this video experimentation of the mediations created by media in occult and horror film. While sensation is, perhaps, the only state of consciousness that is impossible to scientifically measure, as are the limits of magic, I find it more valuable to visually see how it can be created/manipulated. The juxtaposition of horror film/television clips, and electronic music (with cosmological and haunting characteristics), and documentary footage from raves/electronic music festivals (that possess qualities of the occult) is experimented in this project. The latter adds an extra layer to this research, paralleling a cultural music phenomenon with the magical representations and rites defined by Mauss. With these media devices combined, I hope to embody this sensory experience that Grosz explains “as the contraction of vibrations...the forces of becoming-other” (Grosz, 80-1). Essentially, how can we experience Hollywood-defined magic and the magic associated with music and rave culture differently? In this video montage, I aim to highlight the three components of magic presented in Mauss’ A General Theory of Magic, in relation to the electronic dance music (EDM) culture.

  • The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music
    The Queer of Color Sound Economy in Electronic Dance Music Blair Black Within electronic dance music cultures (EDMCs), musicality and experi- mentation have been indebted to black and Latinx DJs of color since its inception in the 1980s. Even today, queer DJs of color continue to push the envelope of experimental EDM by showcasing dance music from the “global south,” centering remix styles that border between hip hop and EDM, and sampling cultural references popular in queer communities of color. This article explores music’s complex entanglements with identity and community for queer people of color in underground electronic dance music scenes. To be specific, the individuals within these communities self-identify as racial/ethnic minorities on the genderqueer spectrum of non-normative gender and sexual identities (gay/lesbian, trans, non- binary, etc.). Moreover, I argue that these socio-economic positions act as an impetus of a sound economy – the shared system of socio-cultural aesthetics – for queer communities of color in EDM. The first section dis- cusses the identity politics that underlie this sound economy by tracing how intertextuality allows DJs to display these minoritarian1 perspectives. I then highlight why (re)centering racialized queer identities is radical by tracing EDM’s political shifts. Specifically, I highlight how narratives sur- rounding EDM changed due to the demographic turn in Europe during the 1990s. The last section explores the re-emergence of pivotal queer DJs of color and the scenes they founded in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York by focusing on the flows of culture and people between cities to point to a more extensive global network of racialized queer communities in constant musical and political dialogue.

  • Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman Tackles the Multi-Farious Scene in One of America's Biggest Cities
    Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman tackles the multi-farious scene in one of America's biggest cities. Los Angeles has always been a capital of pop culture. Outside of rave, however, it's never had much of a reputation for its dance music culture. Until recently, that is. The efforts of local promoters have given rise to enormous EDM festivals, the Low End Theory-driven beat scene and thriving techno and house crews—and have led to the city finally becoming internationally recognized. Now, it seems, a place that houses four million people inside the city limits and 18 million in the greater Southland area, is finally representing itself on the world stage. True to its geography—a set of suburbs fronting as a megalopolis—Los Angeles doesn't have a dominant sound or theme. Instead, there are many scenes tugging for attention and battling over the few legitimate dance venues the city has to offer. It's enormously difficult to acquire a liquor license in LA, thanks in no small part to club-owning cowboys like Eddie Nash (of Wonderland murder fame), and those that do can't serve all that late anyway. Most nights last from 10 until 2 or 3 AM (a reality that often results in seeing your headlining DJ for two hours). It doesn't help that many of the historical clubs/bars in places like Hollywood and West Hollywood are a tough sell to fans of underground music, as the price points, degree of parking difficulty and douchebaggery quotient are all high. That means that many parties of note take place downtown or in other east side neighborhoods (if not a private estate).
