I went to one of the stops near Philadelphia, and despite a severe downpour of rain I was not disappointed in the slightest (the rain probably made it better to be honest). Such acts as Skrillex, Steve Aoki, Kaskade, and Chuckie headlined the event joined by several other great artists (Nero’s set was insane), and it was really amazing that all those great DJs would come together and do a tour.

VIDEO: Odd Future – Oldie

Yep, over ten minutes of video, one continuous scene shot by one camera, and a bunch of teenagers with enough energy to be presumably hopped up on the equivalent of three 5 hour energy shots a piece. The WolfGang got together to shoot a cypher-esque video displaying their youth, collective individuality, and rap prowess. It looks like the gang have done it again.
