Electric Zoo and Butterfly Garden Review

 

Electric Zoo

When we walked into Electric Zoo on Day 2, it really was like walking into a zoo full of young people craving electronic music. Randall’s Island was as full as we’ve ever seen it, and even after the explosive Day 1, everyone around us was energized and ready to enjoy the day.

Our first set on Day 2 was by Morgan Page, a top-notch VT hustler who started his EDM career in nightclubs on the Canadian border. Page is a master at warming up the crowd, and he cleverly started his set slowly, opening with the intro to “The Longest Road” and segueing into Deniz Koyu’s track “Bong” featuring Tegan and Sara. The set got swanky with the catchy chorale “Body Work” and every girl’s favorite song from Page’s album “In The Air”: “Addicted.” Morgan pepped up the set and effortlessly eased our sore muscles from Day 1 with the Dada Life banger “Feed the Dada." 

Our personal favorite moment was when he performed his remix of The Outfield’s ‘80s classic "Your Love,” which had all the girls bobbing around in their high-cut jorts like they were being saved by the bell. We loved that Page closed his set with the jam “Go” by Tonite Only with a touch of Ministry of Sound. The set was well thought out and provided the perfect balance of club and pop music to start the festival day.

After Morgan Page’s massive set, we made our way to the main stage where one of our personal favorite producers, Sander Van Doorn, was performing. Sander is a technical genius with an incredibly unique sound that makes you want to dance from Dusk to Doorn. 

He wasted no time opening his set with Deniz Koyu’s remix of Zedd’s epic track “Spectrum” feat. Mathew Koma…. And we definitely tore some vocal cords. He then dropped “Alter Ego” and his tune “Nothing Inside” featuring Mayaeni. As he transitioned into the eerie Deadmau5 groove “Professional Griefers” and then into his classic “Chasin’,” there wasn’t anyone in the crowd who wasn’t entranced by his dance magic. 

The middle portion of Sanders’ set consisted of a number of songs we’d never heard before, with a bit of Pryda and Afrojack in the mystery choruses. Doorn ended his spectacular set with “Dear New York” by Firebeatz & Schella, and as befits Sander Van Doorn, the crowd shouted to each other afterward, “What was that? Trance? Progessive house?… no, that was SVD style.”

The Good Zoo and Euthanasia

he killing of animals is always a hot topic in zoos, but euthanasia must be recognized as an absolutely essential part of the long-term, proper management of species in captivity. There is nothing wrong with killing an animal if it is done quickly and with thoughtfulness and kindness. When animals are euthanized for the right reasons, it is morally right and justified. 

Uninformed people often accuse ezoo of being “heartless” and “uncaring,” when in fact the exact opposite is true. Good zoos with controlled populations can see the big picture.In the wild, animals die every day in tragic, painful and stressful situations. It’s a kill or be killed world, and if you don’t face those two options, you can starve or get sick.In a good modern zoo, the cruel balance of nature is disturbed. The animals survive. 

They live longer. There are equal numbers of male and female animals living. Man must manage in order to govern properly. In fact, today man must also manage the wild. Killing elephants, deer, and other animals has become necessary to ensure that the larger populations do not starve.

Butterfly Top

Butterfly is back from the noughties, baby. The best prints always make a comeback, right? From a printed butterfly top to denim shorts to all-over print butterfly dresses, we’re loving this '00s motif on just about everything this season. 

Be the social butterfly top you are with our slogan tees, or opt for a cute cami crop top with butterfly details. Staying in? Get cozy in butterfly pajamas and matching socks. Whatever your style, bring positive vibes to your closet with our latest butterfly clothing.

In the post, she’s wearing a stunning off-the-shoulder butterfly crop top. In the fourth photo of the slideshow, she’s wearing the butterfly on the front with silver jewelry (and… Apple earbuds?) as an accessory.

Dua is also showing her back in the first photo, so I’m not sure if the butterfly is on both sides of the top or if Dua just wanted to take advantage of all her angles, but either way it’s an A+ look from me.I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m scouring the internet and following her stylist’s Instagram stories like a hawk. Until then, I’ll be listening to Dua’s discography to find this adorable butterfly top.
