By Jordan Cooper Music Journalist We all have that one friend. The one who never misses an electronic music festival. Who prefers furry boots to sneakers.

It shifts to life with spinning twin glittering disco balls housed atop the stage, boasts framed enlarged images of Ellen Degeneres and beloved Rocket Man Elton John and rotates an electric mix of music from its oversized speakers. This mix of music fills the entire nightclub and has you twirling […]
By Natalia Glenn MR Fest Press Team At the stroke of 5:00 pm, Valentino’s resonated with the mesmerizing scent of freshly baked bacon cheese pizza. It’s disturbingly hot. Everyone is sitting down waiting for the first MR Fest performer to come up and then we’re graced with the wildly conscious presence of Brandon Smith. Smith immediately turned up every internal volume the audience possessed. The first few songs he started […]
