Note: God bless them, our friends at Miami New Times music blog Crossfade braved the EDM-infested waters of the Ultra Music Festival this past weekend. Follow their entire exploits over here, but we thought we'd give you a little taste. This article was written by Kat Bein.
Ultra Music Festival is nothing if not gnarly. The beats are gnarly, the people are gnarly, the portable toilets are gnarly. It's stank-face city, bro.All photos by Kat Bein and Gretchen Schroeder
But even more than the sight of no toilet paper, it's those dirty beats -- dutch, dub, or otherwise -- that make us twist our faces like ancient Japanese samurai paintings.
Because we love a good drop as much as the next fiend, we're paying homage to all of Ultra Music Festival's magical moments with a series of epic bass-face pics. This is exactly what you fools sitting at home missed.
This must have only been a half-drop, because we're only seeing half a tongue.
These beats make Chief Wampum into ugly beast.
Shocked, excited, confused, afraid, bassssss...
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Couples who bass together, face together. Or something.
