Earlier this month, I found myself back in Baltimore, Maryland attending Moonrise Music Festival for the second year in a row. I’d witnessed a handful of electronic music acts over the years, and attended music festivals since 2012, but it wasn’t until Moonrise 2015 that I truly discovered the wonderful world of electronic music events. There’s a seemingly endless amount of possibilities when you cross the threshold of one of these festivals, and for me, Moonrise was my electronic genesis. Needless to say, without my experience at Moonrise 2015, I wouldn’t have pursued the events that I have this past year, and I wouldn’t be writing about them today.
It’s crazy to imagine that just over a year ago I was attending Moonrise as a novice electronic music fan, and this year I was invited to attend as a member of the press.
