people who say EDC has quality over the MEMF are just saying that because a) they didn't read the first nine posts of the thread b) have socal blinders or c) think that JUST because they don't recognize the names they must be crap.
Alex you are ignorant to the EDM scene as a whole to think that EDC has better quality of that three day festival with every genre and 300 DJs from around the world.
quality does not mean
they have headliners that don't play often and are international and have great produced tracks.
quality of a whole event also means the genres covered and will there be music there for EVERYONE.
i HIGHLY HIGHLY DOUBT that out of all the DJs playing there in three days, people will be disappointed.
