"Attending the Electric
Daisy Carnival is a colorful, vibrant, visceral experience," said
Director and Producer
Kevin Kerslake. "My goal in making the Electric
Daisy Carnival
Experience film was to create the next best thing to actually being there - an immersive cinematic experience that brought as much of the actual feeling of being there to the viewer," "It's a testament to the size of electronic music's enormous fan base that we were not only able to screen the film nationally in theaters across the country, but that it is now performing extremely well on all the major distribution platforms like VOD and digital download. As we follow this up with a DVD release in January 2012, it's abundantly clear this scene is 'underground' in perception only."
In the August 4 issue of Rolling Stone proclaimed, 'Dance
Music Rules 2011'. The turnout for the EDCE premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood was so overwhelming it prompted the LAPD's Riot
Squad to shut down Hollywood Blvd with tear gas and rubber bullets. While the event sparked international media attention it should be noted that there were no injuries reported, no personal or public property was damaged and only one arrest was made. Fans of electronic music are certainly the most joyously fanatic in all of music. The most recent Electric
Daisy Carnival in June of 2011 drew more than 270,000 fans to Las
Vegas Motor Speedway, while top DJ's boast half-million dollar paydays domestically and internationally. The ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL EXPERIENCE captures the essence—and the spirit—of the scene like no other film has ever done. Produced by Manifest for Insomniac Events, Executive Producers include Pasquale Rotella, Edward Bates, Randy
Simon and Richard D. Titus.
Director Kevin Kerslake is best known for being well ahead of the curve when it comes to music and film. Along with directing iconic music videos for top artists long before they became household names, he worked with the premiere action sports athletes and brands before the word 'extreme' was used as a marketing tool rather than an adjective. He has directed music videos and documentaries for The Ramones, Green Day, Nirvana, Red Hot
Chili Peppers and Rise Against, among others. With EDCE, Kerslake captures live performances of over twenty top artists including (in alphabetical order) 12th Planet, Above & Beyond, Afrojack, Benny Benassi,
David Guetta, Deadmau5, Fedde Le Grand, Kaskade, Laidback Luke, Moby, MSTRKRFT, Simian
Mobile Disco, Steve Aoki, Swedish House Mafia, Will.I.Am, with a special tribute to DJ AM.
