Ultra Music Festival: Smashing Records And Global Expansion

If it is possible to attach a particular genre of music to a specific decade, Electronic Dance Music (EDM) appears to be the current front-runner for the 2010-2020 time-span.  With popular DJs including Tiesto, Avicii, Calvin Harris, Kaskade, David Guetta and plenty others commanding performance fees in the tens-to-hundreds of thousands of dollars (per performance), radio airplay on traditional pop stations and an increasing number of collaborations with artists in other genres, EDM has become a favorite type of music on the airwaves and at public performances.  And a favorite yearly event among fans of EDM is Miami, Florida-based Ultra Music Festival, which is a part of UMF Worldwide.
