Ultra Europe Day 3 in photos; Amfora Resort on the Island of Hvar
After spending two days in Split at Poljud Stadium, Ultra Europe festival-goers hopped aboard catamarans in the early morning to make the hour long trip to the Island of Hvar. Tucked away in the deep azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, Hvar acted as the perfect backdrop for the culmination of Europe's inaugural Ultra. At Amfora Resort on the tip of the island, Brass Knuckles, Cazzette, Nervo, Dada Life, Chuckie and Steve Aoki manned a DJ booth elevated between the sea and an infinity pool for what became the best pool party... ever. Sorry Vegas, but we've fallen in love.
Tommie Sunshine releases Ultra Music Festival 2013 set for free download
Long-haired, enigmatic, and outspoken, Tommie Sunshine has been a presence in dance music for over a decade, fostering young talent and establishing himself as a tastemaker in the industry. His Ultra Music performance on Day 2 of the first weekend - much like his Axis mix - was a showcase of countless unreleased tracks and debuts from TJR, Mt. Eden, Alvaro, Showtek, and of course, the man himself. Tommie keeps things bouncy and care-free in his hour set, delivering 14 tracks of blistering electro designed specifically for keeping energy levels high and crowds entranced. One such debut was David Silcox's remix of "Cool Without You," a rendition that leaves no room for subtlety, stripping the melody from the original and replacing it with breakneck drum fills, twisted vocals and a blaring siren-filled break.

As your well-planned pre-Miami playlist bumps in your favorite pair of headphones, you think to yourself, "Why do they let old people and children board first, this is seriously killing my Miami time."
