EZF NY Cancelled
That was surprising..
you mean EZF not EDC
Electric Zoo Festival
EDC is Electric Daisy
couple people died. MDMA was found on scene
Kaskade had a really good point he made about it in a reply
actually i made the same one just before my wife found his on facebook
What does Extacy and getting high have to do with electronic music festivals? nothing
its what people will do anywhere else too so if you are going to get high at these events thinking youll have a better time
stop being selfish and stay the -F- home so you dont ruin it for everyone else
now that two dates are cancelled and no one will be paid back for them
the organizers are gonig to pay some serious fines, as well as STILL have to pay the artists - vendors - staffing involved even though the dates dont take place.
What do you think this is going to do for their budget for next years EZF ?
3 years of this RUIN and shut down the Boo Festivals.
not because of drugs but because of bad weather. 3 years in a row, then the entire organization lost its money to the point of not being able to maintain itself. So they shut down.
Here’s a decently thought out editorial on the subject.
Found it interesting that Bonaroo has had 10 deaths over the years.
Unfortunately, deaths at large gatherings of young people has happened way before EDM and will happen in the future.
EDC NY Cancelled
Yes I meant EZF I don’t know why I typed EDC maybe I’m still living in the past or something, but check this out its so true
To me its as simple as making the drugs legal so people can become educated about them and so the drugs will be pure and not cut with everything under the sink…
what happened to dancesafe? get your shit tested for free at the party…
I understand and agree with the sentiment, but you are ignoring an inconvenient truth. Drugs are part of this culture as much as violence is in the current rap culture, and it always has been. Disagree? Please explain classic songs like Everything Starts With An E, or Energy Flash, where “ecstasy” is just repeated over and over. MDMA is just as much a part of the culture as music is. It’s the sketchy uncle that no one wants to talk to, see, or admit exists, but he is still there. Ignoring won’t help. I’m not saying accepting it is the way to go, but it needs to be addressed. Not ignored. Just acting like it’s not part of the music doesn’t help people make the right choices or educate them to what can be poor ones either.
And for what it’s worth on the subject of BOO, look into who produced it, and who is doing some of the larger events in NY now.
Yeah but that’s like alcohol, it’s been legal for mad long and we know alot about it but yet people still getting alcohol poisoning a die no matter if its legal or not people will die of it, they could make alot of money off of it by making it legal but that’s a long stretch.
soulwax : e-talking 
most of the artists are high too.
Except people arent dieing from pure drugs lmao, they are dieing when its cut with things that can kill you.
of course SOBI
we are on the same page. i am certainly not new to seeing what happens and how these two things tie into eachother.
However, there is no magic switch on anyones back that you can flip to make them do what you want.
its the person themselves that choose to do things, drugs, drink, steal, or even to do things out of favor and generosity.
what i dont agree to is how media keep ties the two things together.
drugs are drugs
music is music
what? no one talks about the substance abuse that Mozart inflicted on himself because its called Classical music? he was an avid drinker
how about Hector Berlioz who was am opium addict?
no lets not put that into our current news broadcasts or into the new york times when remembering music and its culture,
instead lets talk about how kids today (and only today) all use MDMA if they listen to electronic music
lets make all the parents think that if they send their child off to a rap concert, they will bump into at least 16 people who have a gun while their little sisters get gang banged willingly in the parking lot before the concert
and a mosh pit only exists at a ROCK concert where the worst thing to happen is Cocaine and Weed.
Sorry Sobi, im on a rant. This is the exact reason my wife doesnt understand why i dont like to sit down and watch the news while she loves it. I keep reading between the lines / lies/ yellow journalism just grinds my gears
Agreed. Even this forum has a strict “no drug talk” policy for some reason, even if the discussion is mature and productive. The moderators even close threads that discuss the need for discussing drugs (this thread is probably getting shut down soon). There has to be a responsible and PG way to talk about this taboo subject, even if it takes a little extra moderation.
Things that can kill you like what? Drugs? Drugs are cut with other drugs… Drugs don’t kill the person, the person kills themselves by taking the drug
Yes this is true but it’s like covering the truth, it is what it is, we can’t sugar coat what happened, “kids had too much sugar and they crashed” doesn’t sound right. It is a PG forum but the sad part is that real life is not PG.
Just how far is too far? That’s what everyone is going to be concerned about.. In Ny we have had some bad incidences with news and EDM festivals, anyone remember the Haunted Coliseum about a year ago when it was shut down early because people died, well now it’s Ezoo and it will just make it harder and harder for a show to get played in Ny because there will be people 100000% against it.
You make no sense dude? Mdma in a pure form is fine. With it being illegal it gets made by some random dude in a bathtub to begin with then gets cut many times before you even get it. you see my point yet?
It makes alot of sense dude, and I gotcha now.
It’s pretty simple if you ask me. I don’t know anything about drugs, never done em, don’t wanna try em. I know that they aren’t allowed at the festivals or in the clubs. Thy are illegal. End of story. Don’t tell me they go hand and hand with the scene because that just makes the scene sound horrible and will make it harder and harder to have shows.
Look at NYC 15-20 years ago. The clubs were a drug supermarket. Enough people died and the mayor got involved. Fast forward to today and there’s nothing like there used to be around NY anymore. That a conversation for another day.
RIP to the party goers, I hope people learn from their mistakes.
I agree, they think this will give a hint to the other festival goers to not
Do drugs, it won’t but when you do drugs you know the risk.
eh… I have been in plenty of clubs where people are bumping k and many other drugs right on the dancefloor. It may not be right in your face like you think it use to be, but its still there…
