Despite Ultra’s Pleas, Illenium Won’t Upload His Set Cause The Festival F*cked Up

Ultra Music Festival went down last weekend and the following days have been all about getting caught up on the live sets. Literally, almost all them (listen here). However, there’s one very important set that made way to the stream, but was never ficially uploaded.


Illenium took the Live Stage at 11 pm on Saturday to throw down a proper set filled with tons his own music. Those watching the stream were dazzled by his performance from home. Those in the crowd were filled with energy, hanging on every word every song. As his fans will tell you, it was one the best sets the entire weekend.

In an interesting move, Illenium hasn’t uploaded the ficial audio from his set. Fans have been dying to hear the performance in high quality audio, but it doesn’t seem like that’s a possibility. Not now or ever.

When Ultra nudged the producer to upload his set, he answered back days later, saying they used an “incorrect audio source” and they “didn’t have the live elements leveled properly.” In addition, though Illenium doesn’t mention it himself, those watching the stream heard the strange sound a saxophone during his performance. This was later revealed to be Dom from Big Gigantic soundchecking — though that’s weird in and itself, as Gigantic NGHTMRE finished their set 90 minutes before Illenium went on.

You can still hear the set, but it just won’t sound the best. See Illenium’s response and listen below.
