The bass artist came forward on Instagram to express his gratitude for those fans who did show up to his Saturday set at EDC Orlando. Blunts and Blonde shared “EDC Orlando thank y’all so f**king much! So much love to everyone who pulled up! ?”

Fans below in the comments of the Instagram post such as @nick_tanaka expressed “Nothing like getting your chest rattled by some blunts bass on a Saturday night.. love you champ”. Other Instagram fans such as @stormyschaff commented a nice little nudge to Blunts and Blondes to not be shy and post his set on Soundcloud.

To each their own, more information will be sought out once investigations and lawsuits from both parties emerge in the near future. Songwriter Moore Kismet has created perspective for the part of the EDM community that is defending Blunts and Blondes by pointing out the psychological manipulation behind pulling the “anyone who knows me card”.

Gabrielle has come out on Twitter to express how she will never regret being vulnerable, no matter who or what tries holding it against her. Moreover, she has shared “it breaks my heart how many girls have a similar story to me with the same person. my heart is broken. i am disgusted.”

Took mize off of another world. Won’t tolerate sexual abuse allegations. Blindsided by the news. My heart goes out to the victims, who never deserved to be treated that way.

Yoooo, the homies call me Marz. I am a multidimensional Piscean Latina fairy from Miami-Dade County (no, not Florida). Electronic music has allowed me to appreciate the profound beauty that can be found in finding peace within the chaos. Artists such as Rezz, Skrillex, John Summit, Michael Bibi, and Amtrac blend the two seamlessly, creating a harmonious balance that resonates with me whenever I am on the dancefloor. When I am writing about electronic music, I feel this same balance of peace and chaos moving through me - starting in my hips, filling my heart, and radiating out from my soul. The power of music has brought me to this exact moment, and I only desire that you feel the warmth of the sun through my words.
