Live: Ultra Music Festival in Miami
Los Angeles Times
show in seven years a stellar Ultra highlight. ne of the festival’s founders and promoters Russell Faibisch said 50000 people attended Friday night 60000 on Saturday. Unfortunately not every veteran on the bill was as creatively dynamic as Size. Such headlining DJs as Armin Van Buuren Tiësto and Paul Van Dyk trotted out the same tired techno and trance beats. Van Dyk did introduce a new single “Home” that true to its title had an unusually warm house-music feel and operatic pop vocal. Anything was better than Prodigy the once hugely successful rock-electronic crossover band which resorted to a string of epithets to try to spark a muddy wan performance.
