Our take (opinion)

This is the rare SoCal lineup that lets trance lifers and the newer techno-leaning crowd share a waterfront. ARTBAT and Enrico Sangiuliano debuting next to an Above & Beyond classics set is a clear signal that Dreamstate is widening the door without abandoning the sound that built it. With the Queen Mary a short hop from most of Southern California, the next 12 days are the window to pick a day — or take both.
