Mysteryland
Mysteryland USA is sometimes called the Woodstock of electronic music festivals—for good reason. Last weekend's edition (June 10-13) once again took place in Bethel Woods, up in New York's Catskill Mountains, the same site as the legendary 1969 rock festival. But the similarities between Mysteryland and Woodstock go further than a bunch of grass that hippies once stepped on (or smoked).Mysteryland is a festival where a sense of peacefulness runs deep, where you can quietly do yoga at sunset while Hudson Mohawke pounds it out at a stage a few hills away. The vibes are so good, we even traded kandi bracelets for a house at the festival in 2014.
This year, we sent photographer Loren Wohl to capture the highlights—and since Mysteryland deserves more than a photo gallery, here they are in GIFs.All GIFs by Loren Wohl
