![BT – Electronic Opus Miami [Event]](http://corillomagazine.com/home.html/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/BTS-ELECTRONIC-OPUS-Event-in-Miami-2015-125x125.jpg)
Electronic Opus held in Miami, FL was truly an amazing WMC experience. What an incredibly unique blend of music ideas put together by the legendary BT. A concept where technology fusions electronic music and a full orchestra redefine the way we enjoy it. State of the art visual technology was implemented to see this creation of music in physical form too. The energy was simply breathtaking during performances like Emergency, Dreaming and Love Comes Again. However, there is no doubt that the deepest and most touching moment was the dedication BT made to his daughter. It’s very clear that she is the motor of his heart. Definitely an unforgettable and elegant way of closing off WMC 2015.

Review: Daddy Yankee @ Echostage
Event: Daddy Yankee @ Echostage – July 18, 2014 –
Puerto Rican ‘Reggaetonero’, Daddy Yankee, performed at one of Washington DC’s premier venues, Echostage. Traditionally Echostage is a hub for Electronic music shows but, last Friday it was home to one of the best Reggaetoneros in the game.
The night began pretty bad to say the least; the opening DJs didn’t know what to play with the crowd booing at times and even a commercial being played on the Echostage LED wall — all of which were failures by the promoters of the event. Luckily, Daddy Yankee was able to save the night. Daddy Yankee opened with what boosted his career onto the international stage, and we all know it, “Gasolina” in honor of 10 years since the release of his album “Barrio Fino” As the night went on, the crowd completely forgot the failures of the opening acts and sang along to just about every song.
Video:
The crowd was surprisingly diverse; fans from a wide range of ages, backgrounds and ethnic groups — it was nice to see how Reggaeton has globalized beyond just the Latin market. What made the night most enjoyable was how the fans knew every song; it didn’t matter whether it was old or new, the crowd danced and sang the night away. My only grievance is that Daddy Yankee didn’t perform, “Gangsta Zone”, which was one of my personal favorites from Barrio Fino En Directo. Even though he didn’t perform my favorite throwback song, overall, the night was memorable and one of my favorite Reggaeton concerts as of today.
Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars

Sounds Of QDance @ Mysteryland USA (Event) [Review]
Another chapter has been written in the history of the sacred grounds of Bethel Woods, NY where 45 years ago thousands of people gathered for the famous Woodstock festival. Now in these same mountains thousands of privileged Nomads coexisted in harmony, peace and unity at the first Mysteryland USA. As soon as you set foot in the camping grounds and look onto the horizon, you are able to admire the festival and zone in on the orange Q dance tent bringing just a little more excitement to all the Hardstyle lovers who are moments away from their awaited destination. The journey starts from the camping ground as you walk down the hill, pass the campers market through the luscious woods to the campers entrance. After you clear security, your hike up the mountain begins with such anxiety and expectation as you soak in these famous grounds. Finally arriving at the Q Dance tent, it was time to face the truth and present. Kutski opened and the stage was completely full serving as an eye opener to the U.S. crowd that Hardstyle is here to stay. As the afternoon progressed, Brennan Heart made Hardstyle lovers remember why we fell in love with these fast beats in the first place. Sam /AudioFreQ was the chosen one to play both days. Sam is such an awesome person and we had the chance to catch up with him for a live interview that will be out soon. To close the night Coone stepped up to the stage and brought along Steve Aoki, an icon in the electronic music industry. Another interesting moment was when Steve Aoki gave Coone the opportunity to play at the main stage which was another important move in the expansion of Hardstyle. The last day of the festival brought a magical gathering at the orange tent. Wildstylez and McVillain gave a show that will live in our memories for years to come. AudioFreQ showed the fans how much he cares sharing his time among them and of course delivering when time to get down to business. Ran-D injected rawstyle and euphoric beats that only he knows how to tailor according to our needs. The closing set was of epic proportions! No other than the man himself Evil Activities was there to guide us through the darker and faster beats of Hardcore. Overall a great festival with great diversity

It is always a good day when the crowd and the DJ seem to be in sync and that is what happened. Every time the beat dropped, the crowd erupted — I even saw some Jumpstyle dance and shuffling in the back which was nice to see. I am also proud to report that grinding was kept to a minimum, almost non-existant.
Most shows in the DC metro area occur at a handful of venues in Washington, D.C. but, Brennan’s show was the first ‘edm show’ I attended outside of DC — which was a nice change of pace. In general, the crowd differed from crowds you see at shows at other venues. The people there seemed to be there more for the music than anything else; you didn’t see girls taking selfies every 30 seconds and there were very few phones blocking one’s view during Brennan’s set. Although the venue was nice and the crowd was great, the lack of security both outside and inside of the venue was unsettling. I was never patted down and stage security was sort of weak. Luckily, there weren’t any altercations.
Overall, Brennan’s show was a great start to bringing Hardstyle headlining shows to Washington, D.C. and surrounding areas. I hope to see similar events at larger venues in the future.

Universal Music Latin Billboards After Party “Fire + Ice” (Event) [Review]
The Latin Billboards took place and all eyes were on Miami. Hennessy, Corona and Universal Music Latin Entertainment hosted one of the hottest after parties at Bamboo a prestigious club in South Beach, FL. The night was young and celebrities started to make their way into the venue. It was all smiles, great energy and beautiful people. VIP guests such as Enrique Iglesias, Juanes, Luis Fonsi, David Bisbal, Duina Del Mar, Zion Y Lennox, Los Rakas, AtellaGali and many more. It was a perfect combination of good music, exotic Hennessy drinks and refreshing beer thanks to Corona. It was all everybody needed to make the night a celebration.

Meet & Greet Alexis y Fido @ Radio Shack (Review) [Event]
We got a chance to catch up and interview non other than five time Latin Billboard nominees Alexis y Fido. The meet and greet took place in Miami, FL at the Dolphin Mall. It was a great time and an awesome gesture by these two guys. Since the beginning of their career they’ve demonstrated love for the fans and “la entrega” (the commitment) for the music they make. The fans didn’t hesitate to make their way to Radio Shack to see this talented duo.
The people of Miami are well known for their love of music and it’s fair to say their fan base is faithful and shows support no matter what. Hundreds of fans stood in line waiting for a chance to have one on one contact with Alexis y Fido, for many, a dream come true. Stay tune for the interview.

F*** Me I’m Famous @ Story Nightclub WMC (Event) [Review]
Sun down and lights up. Miami was ready for another edition of F*** Me I’m Famous hosted by David Guetta. Arriving at the club, you immediately notice the amount of beautiful people who want to be part of a night that’s to be remembered. Daddy’s Groove started off by applying nice high quality beats that increased intensity as the night matured. Party goers were hunting for harder deeper sounds and boy did they deliver. Daddy’s Groove was now clearing the way for another star. Up next was Nicky Romero wearing a cool backwards cap. He grabbed the mic, saluted fans and offered us the best experience possible executing a full set of signature tracks. The night hit its climax with David Guetta on stage. A complete show of lights, dancers and music lead by his iconic look didn’t give the attendees a chance to stop partying. During his set special friends like Afrojack and recent Grammy winner Cedric Gervais showed up to support him. The night was not over yet, Showtek was the last to show Miami how its done. The dutch duo who is currently on a success rampage closed the night the right way. Their unique and banging tracks were a perfect dose of adrenaline ending another action packed WMC party.

Mixmash Pool Party @ WMC (Event) [Review]
What a perfectly sunny and breezy day in Miami for sold out Mixmash Pool Party. People were greeted at the National Hotel by event staff who were willing to help and comprehend the attendees needs. The convenient and excellent layout permitted all fans and party goers a chance to enjoy the party in a unique way. Fans ranging from Melbourne, Australia to New York, NY made their way to Miami and enjoyed this party. This turned out to be one of the best pool parties of all WMC. What made it such an interesting night was not only Laidback Luke hosting the event but the unexpected surprise visits by Steve Aoki, Dimitry Vegas & Like Mike, Sander Van Doorn and Carnage. Overall exceeded expectations in terms of atmosphere, music, people and logistics.

Soul Frito Festival – Miami, FL (Review) [Event]
One of the most original and unique festivals just happened in Miami, Soul Frito. Bringing some of the best international and multicultural artists. Ranging from Hector Acosta (El Torito) playing his well known romantic Bachata songs. Plan B the duo who always drives the ladies crazy. Victor Manuelle the salsa legend who enchants the old and the young with his classics. Then we have Juicy J who just about made a fan rich by almost giving away his gold chain while playing some of the best 36 Mafia hits and latest Release – Dark Horse. Followed by Bustha Rhymes who as usual has everyone dancing and singing to the best old school favorites and still manages to exceed expectations. Nas never hesitates to deliver the best he has to offer which explains why so many of his fans were at the event. DVJ King Arthur got to play right after Nas and gave the festival an EDM touch that exited the crowd. Last but not least Don Omar closed the event with an outstanding Reggaeton performance that made all the anticipation worth waiting for. Overall an excellent group of performances with a well mixed and happy crowd.
