Held every year in Michigan, Electric Forest is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most diverse festivals in the US. While it encompasses all the dance music genres/sub-genres, it exhibits a breath-taking jungle like tranquil setting as well.

Despite not being known for its controversies, this year was a little shaky on that note. Post first weekend of this eight day event there was a puzzling photo of a severed finger which did rounds on social media platforms including Reddit and Snapchat. Visually, this finger looked horrid yet realistic. It had blood smeared over it to go with a painted nail and was spotted during the camp clean-ups. Fortunately, to everyone’s relief the case of the ‘severed finger’ didn’t live up and it turned out to be a hoax.

Electric Forest released a cheeky statement following the rumor calming everyone down.

The Festival also stated that it was not a real finger and that this was confirmed by The Michigan State Police after their investigation.

Looks like we ought to weigh things out before we buy them.

Like my writing name suggests, I'm one who's soul is aroused by most sub genres of dance music especially Above & Beyond's. I'm no connoisseur but with the intensity my curiousness is fuelled by my inclinations, I might become one. If you walk across a house in Halifax, Canada that always has its bass up and a cool looking guy shuffling, that is probably my den ;)
