EDC Sky Deck mystery has the scene buzzing
This week a Reddit user posted a short plea after a song from a Sky Deck set at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2023 stuck in their head — and the festival community went on the hunt. The clip and the request sparked a small thread of fans trying to pin down a single track (or edit) that’s been eluding ID for years.
It’s the kind of thing festival regulars know well: a killer moment in a set, an unreleased ID, a live edit or mashup, and suddenly a handful of thousands of people are trying to recreate the moment from a shaky phone video and a memory.
Why these IDs stay mysterious
There are a few reasons a song from a festival set can be hard to trace: DJs often drop unreleased tracks or custom edits, audio quality in phone clips is rough, and many live transitions blend multiple tunes. Even official recordings don’t always list every sample or edit used during a set.
Quick tips for chasing an ID
- Run the clip through Shazam, SoundHound or a browser-based audio recognition — sometimes the app catches it.
- Check 1001Tracklists and other tracklist aggregators for the DJ’s set — unreleased IDs are sometimes listed as “ID” or “unknown”.
- Search YouTube, Twitch or Mixcloud for recorded versions of the Sky Deck set — better-quality uploads can make recognition easier.
- Post the clip to specialized ID communities (subreddits and music ID groups) and tag the likely genre or artist to narrow the field.
- Look for setlists or follow-ups from the DJ on socials — artists sometimes share IDs after fans ask.
These little mysteries are part of festival culture — they keep people swapping clips, screenshots and half-remembered lyrics long after the lights go down. If the track turns up, it usually comes from a collective effort: a clearer upload, a fan with a better memory, or the artist finally dropping the ID. Either way, the hunt is half the fun for the scene.
