This year, the midwest’s most anticipated event gets even bigger. For 7 years now, Panoptic have been pushing the limits of what a indoor, dead-of-winter event can and should be. WWD is not your run of the mill midwest party. Events and productions like these take a full year to plan and execute – and without a doubt – the term “what you give is what you get” applies here.
Stage presentation, decorations, lighting, live art, vending, ice sculptures….the list can go on. WWD is an experience, and I can’t wait to see what can happen with such an open and large space like the Family Arena. Private Suites, a handful of live artist and a group mural, body painting and a spectral art dome by Jumbie Art are just a few of the things I am personally excited about for this year and the new experience that is waiting, only a few weeks away!
I have had the pleasure of knowing two of the main cogs of Panoptic – Miss J and Shawn Harvick for a while now, and their commitment to this event, as well as the overall love and advancement of the EDM community in general has really impressed me, and it’s always refreshing to meet and become close to like-minded souls. It’s people like Julia and Shawn that really make our community possible, and it’s no wonder that Winter Warpdrive has become a annual celebration for the midwest and beyond.
All that – and we haven’t even TALKED about the lineup! WWD has a history of bringing some of the most sought-after selectors and live artists , and this year is right in line! Performances from BT – CA, USA , EOTO – CA, CO, USA , Marco V – Netherlands, VibesquaD – CO, USA, Andy B (Spacecamp) and Luke Hansen vs. Cypher in a redux of last years well received tag set.
