Home Bass brings together the best qualities of both city festivals and camping festivals. One thing that makes it unique is that it’s run completely separately of EDC. I’ve never really seen anything like Home Bass. If I could give out one piece of festival advice, it would be to (slightly) pace yourself early in the weekend and go as hard as you can on Sunday. And even though I hadn’t heard of anyone else on the lineup on Sunday after them, Bass X and The Mothership continued to go hard all night. The closing party later that night was headlined by Baauer and Keys N Krates. Walking around Home Bass at night and hearing so many people throwing down DJ sets was awesome.ĭay 3 began with DJ Craze and Happy Colors dropping sets at the pool. And if you don’t want to make the walk to the stages, you can probably find a renegade DJ set along the way to hang out at. But with music going every until 6 AM every morning, you still had plenty of time to stop in your room and head to the conference room for afters. The shuttle lines to get home from the festival did get long.

But that’s not really the case when the party is at your hotel. After a long day at a festival, it can be hard to actually make it to the afterparty. When it comes to house music, I’d say that was easily the best aftershow all weekend in Orlando. It was the home to Lee Foss’ Warm Disco party on Saturday night, featuring sets from Lee Foss, Detlef, Anabel Englund, and Gina Turner.

The Mothership was definitely my favorite stage within Home Bass. The production and sound was great, and it was nice to be inside after a long day at the festival. Going to a show in a carpeted conference hall with chandeliers on the ceiling definitely felt a little weird at first, but by the end of the weekend, I grew to love it. The festivities kicked off on Thursday night with sets from Gene Farris, Solardo, and Rebuke at the main stage inside the conference center: The Mothership.

I waited until the last minute, and when every EDC shuttle sold out the week before the festival, the decision was made for me…Home Bass was the move. I noticed our location on International Drive (with a Wawa between us and Wyndham), and I couldn’t decide whether to buy an official EDC shuttle pass or a Home Bass shuttle and party pass. We actually booked an Airbnb that just happened to be across the street. This year was my second EDC Orlando, and at first, I wasn’t planning on going to Home Bass at all. This year’s lineup included headliners like Snails, Baauer, Keys N Krates, Minnesota, Lee Foss, and Detlef. Music Festival Trips, the company behind Home Bass, brings in their own lineup of talent for the weekend. Taking over the hotel and conference center, Home Bass is run independently of EDC. That vibe was especially felt at Home Bass, a 4-day long party at The Wyndham Orlando Resort. While the idea that it was better than EDC Las Vegas might not resonate with everybody, most EDCO attendees would agree that the overall vibe and experience was particularly great this year. One of the best surprises of festival season 2021 was EDC Orlando. Taking over the entire Wyndham Orlando Resort for the weekend, Home Bass is a can’t-miss event for EDC Orlando attendees.
