Dubstep helps me forget about binging

Hey all!  Remember when I said the guy behind The Big Gay Lion is a real procrastinator?  Well, that’s NOT what happened this time, he promises.  He is a perfectionist, and sometimes gets caught up in the technical minutia of things, and that caused this post to be delayed... well, several weeks!  But the kinks have been worked out, decisions have finally been made, and here we are, so let’s get into it.

My second year of EDC Orlando would be my first year visiting a stage other than Kinetic Field for a full set.  Sure, I swung by Circuit Grounds my first year, but only to visit and see what it was like.  Calvin Harris and Tiësto were closing out Kinetic Field at EDC Orlando in 2015 on Day 1 (Friday), and I wasn't feeling it that year.  I saw Excision would be playing during that same time at Circuit Grounds, so I decided to see him (and Flux Pavilion) that night.  Boy, was I super happy about that decision!

YouTube | Facebook | Instagram X gon' give it to ya!  Decided I should switch back to video to get a better sense of what he's throwing down.  This is about 40 minutes into his set. Excision & Space Laces - Destroid 7 Bounce VIP https://soundcloud.com/excision/destroid-7-bounce-vip

And that's all I got from the set!  Hopefully this #TBT was worth it!  Now that he's got the process down on how to go about everything technical, hopefully we can make these posts more frequent!  Love ya'll, see ya next time!  🏳️‍🌈🦁❤

EDIT:  The animations weren’t working because the while the thumbnails were of right dimensions, they were too large when it comes to file size.  I’ve edited the thumbnails that needed it to be about 3 seconds long, which I figure I’ll use going forward if something needs to be a bit smaller than the original.  The “Download High Res” and “Download Low Res” links will always have the full set of animated images, so don’t forget to check those links out if you wanna see more loopy goodness!
