Ultra music festival takes place every year in Miami, Florida and is known as one of the largest dance music festivals in the world. With some of the biggest names in electronic dance music as headliners, such as Diplo, Armin Van Buuren, Hardwell, Alesso, and more, this year’s Ultra was expected to be nothing short of incredible. Expectations were certainly exceeded, and it is safe to say that some of the best EDM sets of right now came out of Ultra 2014. Check out three of the best sets from the weekend below.
1. Martin Garrix
This 17 year old (yes 17) from the Netherlands blew up big time this year with his hit ‘Animals’. Listen around the 46-minute mark to hear the twist he put on his original hit for the festival.
