September 1, 2012- Randall's Island Park. Brooklyn, New York. Since Above and Beyond sunk the island the night before Dre and I had to scuba dive to back to Randall's. It took us a little bit longer since there was a lot more people at day two. We were pretty sore from day one, but we were not about to let that stop us from raging hard again. We actually went twice as hard and it was AWESOME. We headed to Main Stage to wait for Bingo Players while Nervo was still on. They were pretty good, but Bingo Players ripped Randall's to shreds. Their drops were sick and their mixes were on point. Dre and I could not control ourselves. Sander Van Doorn was next and his set was also something just unforgettable. The crowd had such an awesome vibe and Sander nailed it; it was crazy. We met two kids, Brendan and Henry(such awesome ass kids), who ended up raging with us for the rest of the night. Next, we all headed to Riverside for 12th Planet. He was probably one of my favorite sets of the weekend. His filthy ass completely demolished the tent. His set was just insane. After 12th, we headed back to Main Stage for Dada Life and Axwell. Dada Life threw it down and it was a total rage fest, I was loving it. Axwell was so packed. His set was good, but it wasn't one of my favorites. After Axwell, we headed back to the Riverside for Steve Aoki. I had been anticipating his set all weekend and I could not wait for it. I've never seen anyone get a crowd pumped like Aoki does. He is like the Jesus Christ of djs and his Zoo set was the resurrection that brought Randall's Island back afloat. He totally and completely destroyed, I mean DESTROYED the tent, like I do not know how it was still standing. Everyone lost their minds when he dropped "Turbulence," and "No Beef" was just beautiful. Between his cakes, bottles, and raft, Aoki constantly interacts with the crowd keeping everyone so pumped. To end the night, we all headed back to Main Stage for the rest of Above and Beyond. Once again, it was just beyond gorgeous. It was still packed and the overall vibe of the crowd was amazing. "Sun and Moon" is such a great song and it was great to see it live again. It was a life changing moment. As day two of the Zoo was coming to an end we started a stretching circle in the grass as it was MUCH NEEDED after raging our faces off for the past two days. The Zoo was just an amazing experience that had me totally out of my mind staring at my brain on the floor all weekend. I will definitely not forget this experience and all the wonderful, amazing friends that I made. Thanks Electric Zoo.

Electric Zoo- Day One
August 31, 2012- Randall's Island Park. Brooklyn, New York. All aboard the Randall's Island ferry boat. Dre and I were off to day one of Electric Zoo with the rest of the raging animals who flooded the boat. The anticipation was killing us and I was beyond dying to be inside the Zoo. The ferry ride wasn't too long and there was no line so we got right in no problem. We checked out the tent stages and then headed to Main Stage to wait for Nicky Romero. Netsky was on before him and we were not impressed at all, but it was def worth the wait for Nicky. People crowded in and the dance floor was jammed packed. Finally Nicky was on and right from the start he murdered it. How the island did not sink was beyond me. He totally shredded Randall's Island into pieces. His entire set was just way too good for words; the whole crowd went out of their minds. Next we headed to Fool's Gold to see Dillon Francis who also killed it. The tent was super packed, hot as balls, and everyone was going bananas. Once Dillon was done we headed back to Main Stage for Laidback Luke. Now that was the epitome of demolition. Laidback Luke completely threw it down and we made the dance floor our bitch. The whole crowd went berserk when he dropped "Turbulence." Next, up was David Guetta. The first part of his set was pussy shit and once he figured out how to put his pants on he threw down some sick drops. After Guetta, we headed back to the Fool's Gold for A-Trak. By the time we got in there it was already packed and super ratchet. We had a friggen blast in there. Finally, we ended up in Group Therapy for Above and Beyond. That set left me just speechless. The light show was beautiful and the drops were out of this world. All of us animals had to swim back to the Zoo day two because Above and Beyond totally sunk Randall's Island. Day one of the Zoo was just beyond amazing and we could not wait for day two.
