Indonesia's biggest electronic dance music festival set for its 8th edition in December

Apparently, this happened:

It was in the seventh edition of Djakarta Warehouse Project (DWP) last year, Indonesia's biggest EDM festival courtesy of the promoter Ismaya Live. And now, on December 9 and 10, DWP will return to its repeat and new crowds from Indonesia and beyond at JIEXPO, Kemayoran, Jakarta Utara

Djakarta Warehouse Project has achieved a tremendous success since its first run in 2008: Being the long-awaited, 70,000 people-courting music festival every year. The names that came on their slots got increasingly well-known over the years and you could only guess that the stakes, too, are higher every year. And I've got the numbers to back that up: According to a report by Billboard last year, Ismaya raked in over USD$2.9 million with 75,000 people in attendance.

DWP, like its Singaporean counterpart ZoukOut, capitalizes heavily on the electronic dance music and the culture it spawns: The out-of-body ecstasy, celebrated loudness and....hang on, did someone get taken to a hospital for alcohol-poisoning incident last year?

Anyway, DWP is just an annual reminder that electronic dance music is one's gateway or excuse for something. Or 70,000 of them, to be exact.
