Electric Daisy Carnival London 2013 - review
Chris White is wowed by the pyrotechnics and music at EDC's maiden voyage in the UK.

Following previous mammoth one-day music events Wireless Festival and Hard Rock Calling, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park has certainly been gaining a reputation this year as London's best new outdoor events space. Turning the corner to enter the latest soir?e to take over the space, Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), you're instantly wowed with the vast size, thrusting you straight into the 'kineticFIELD' arena. The main stage sits at the end of this huge grassy area, itself surround with the obligatory food, merchandise, and general festival convenience stalls. EDC is big from the off.
Arriving slightly later than planned we practically sprint to the front and catch the second half of Hardwell's set; which is laced with all the bounce, bass and drops we were hoping for from one of our must-see acts of the day. Concerned not to peak to soon, we wander to the back of the kineticFIELD and head on the fairly lengthy trek to the festivals tented areas, including the bassPOD, cosmicMEADOW and neonGARDEN tents.
Passing some rather intense fairground rides (a towering zip wire, an upside-down-vomit machine, you know the sort) we arrive at the opposite end of the event. Littered with glittering, mirrored daisy constructions (a brand essential looking back at the previous EDC's in Las Vegas and New York), and wacky performers in bizarre tricycle type contraptions, there's a definite air of the bizarre. It all has a great feel, but doesn't detract from what we're really there for; some awesome music.

We instantly fall back on a name we?ve loved for years, knowing we can rely on Jack Beats to lace our step with that much needed spring. The lads don't disappoint with a cracking hi-octane electro set perfect for getting us in our dancing groove. Just across from us Jaguar Skills is going down a riot, we stroll by but don't quite have the stomach for it. A packed tent would think us mad. Instead we drift towards to grooves of Danny Avila and Deniz Koyu, two artists we?d not encountered in the flesh previously, definitely emitting an air of cool in the neonGARDEN.?
We?re then drawn towards the main arena for Steve Angello. Reliable as ever, Steve's set is a wonderful ode to his Swedish House Mafia roots, with some personal twists and slightly more filthy bleeps and basslines. Having edged our way to the front, we even get some audience participation during his finale of SHM's 'Don't You Worry Child'. Not as it sounds, thousands of people jumping from the ground in unison to the rousing chorus was nothing short of euphoric. You also can't go wrong with some OTT confetti cannons. All this is leading nicely on to what for us was the main event; Avicii.
At the time (and currently) riding the chart tidal wave of another huge global smash, 'Wake Me Up', it's safe to say the crowd arrived for this. Concerned we may be in for a slightly, dare we say, cheesy set, Avicii really blew us away. Raising the tempo and throwing in, our eyes at least, some unexpected curve balls such as Disclosure's 'White Noise', kept every one of us totally engaged. Finishing of course with his breakout track 'Levels', we couldn't be happier with the Swedish wonderkids performance.

Final act on the main stage is the legendary Tiesto. We?ll confess we only stayed for around twenty minutes from the start needing both a rest and then a stroll, but what we heard in honesty didn't draw us in quite like the previous three DJ's. Not that the other thousands of people pounding the turf felt the same however??
We wander back to the tented area, diverted to spend some time watching the masterful Chuckie do his thing and catch the end of Sub Focus. After a quick power sit the only place to be is back in the main arena and returning to watch the event's finale with Tiesto. It was actually brilliant to now be looking ahead from behind the crowd for this moment, the full spectacle ahead of us practically in wide screen. A volley of fireworks and epic cheering from the crowd; the day has most definitely been a success.?
Being its inaugural event in the UK, plus taking place at what is still a very new and untested location, overall the success of London's first Electric Daisy Carnival is undoubted. The Olympic Park is a truly wonderful location for a day like this, never once feeling crowded - unless you wanted it to. The stark contrast of the Olympic village buildings and towers, tented arenas, leviathan main stage and quaint grassy area complete with postcard style rive and foliage, is all perfectly at odds with the pounding electronic music coming from all corners. Line-up wise we couldn't have been happier; the variation was never too much to put you off exploring one of the tents just one more time.?
We can't wait to see what daisy-shaped tricks they pull out of the bag next year.

Mayor: ?Difficult, if not impossible? to rescue Holiday Parade
khou.com
Posted on August 8, 2013 at 6:28 PM
Updated yesterday at 7:05 PM
HOUSTON -- It will be ?difficult, if not impossible? to rescue the Thanksgiving Day Holiday parade after longtime organizers announced they would no longer produce the event, according to Houston Mayor Annise Parker.
Parker said longtime parade organizers backed the City of Houston in a corner.
"We've been aware of this for some months but they didn't pull the trigger until yesterday, and we couldn't take over a private entity and a private event until they officially let it go," Mayor Parker said.
Parker was referring to the Houston Festival Foundation, which has produced the annual parade for the past 15 years. She said while the City was well aware of the organization?s deep financial troubles, it was handcuffed essentially, while the non-profit kept delaying a public decision to step down.
"There was a hope that someone else would produce the event," said Kimberly Stoilis, CEO of the Houston Festival Foundation.
But holding out hope while the Thanksgiving clock was ticking, was not the nail in the parade coffin according to the Mayor.
"We thought we were in productive discussions with them," Mayor Parker said.
But those discussions in essence, disintegrated when Festival Foundation sold off all of its signature parade floats, including Santa?s sleigh, for cheap. The buyer, the Texas border down of Hidalgo, paid $30,000 for five floats that the foundation paid $130,000 to buy or build.
11 News: "When they sold the floats was that a slap in the face to the City of Houston?
Mayor Parker: ?By selling the floats it made it difficult for us to rescue the event, if not impossible."
Parker said the search is on for sponsors, and some corporate leaders have expressed interest. But the price tag is hefty -- up to $500,000 to put on the event.
And time is running out.

German industrial production rises in June
BERLIN (AP) ? The German government says industrial production grew 2.4 percent in June compared with the previous month, a further sign that the economy is picking up steam.
The Economy Ministry said Wednesday that the jump was partly due to seasonal factors that weighed on May's figures, when production was down 0.8 percent, revised from an initial drop of 1 percent.
But the ministry says the June figures also show that manufacturing businesses appear to have overcome a period of weakness and surveys indicate positive developments to come.
On Tuesday, official figures showed that German industrial orders rose 3.8 percent in June.
Germany has weathered Europe's economic turmoil relatively well thanks to robust exports to developing countries and low unemployment.
