GLOBAL GATHERING HOTNESS

I think a highlight of my life occurred last Saturday at Global Gathering. Seriously, it was a globalgasm. We got to Nanji park on the Han River at around 3pm & basically danced our asses off for the next 14 hours. It was amazing.

it's a festival: wear a feather
Ready to rock with our feather headbands.

fly across the world
chilling out before the craziness ensued

The first big act we saw was Fantastic Plastic Machine featuring m-flo, some DJs from Japan who were spinning super tight beats. They were a lot of fun! I remember freaking the f out out when they started playing Calvin Harris. Good times.

Here's a video of the crowd going wild when they were mixing Thriller.


Then we saw G-Dragon & 2NE1 and seriously...holy SHEEEEET.

Here's a video I made of G-Dragon & 2NE1's performances. Not the greatest quality, but pretty amusing.


After the K-Pop hotness came Röyksopp, one of my favorite bands. They put on an amazing show, playing most of their songs from Junior, the latest album, which i LOVE. Even though their music isn't quite as dancey as the K-Pop was, or Underworld and MSTRKRFT (who we saw later) were, they still got the crowd dancing and having an awesome time. Well done, Röyksopp.

Here's a video I made while they were playing "Happy up Here." It's a very happy video :)


After Röyksopp came Underworld, a band I'm not actually that familiar with but is apparently very famous in electronic/dance music. I only know their song "Born Slippy" that was in Trainspotting. Even though I didn't know their music, I really enjoyed the performance. Everyone was totally into it and the energy was crazy high.

They had these awesome inflatable tube things on stage that could be lit up in different colors.

Here's a video of the crowd rocking out during Born Slippy.


The final event of the night was MSTRKRFT, who were effing awesome. Seriously, it was about 2 or 3 in the morning by this point and everyone was going insane for them. When they're legit performing, it's awesome. I saw a DJ set by them last summer that wasn't so great, but this time was straight up insanity. SO GOOD.

MSTRKRFT ROCKING WORLDS
sigh...can this happen every single weekend for the rest of my life?!
