What is the fastest way to have your music played for thousands of people? By sending your music to Knife Pary of course. Well at least for some lucky fans that is exactly what happened. The Australian electronic dance music duo sent out a call to their fans to send them some “cool music” to be played on stage at the Belgian festival Tomorrowland. The overwhelming response almost crashed the server forcing Knife Party to take down the email address that was receiving the fan's tracks. Watch how the whole thing unfolded.
Here is the initial tweet.
Tomorrowland MAIN STAGE tomorrow night, streamed live. If anyone has cool music, send to knifeparty@earstormmusic.com

It did not all go as smooth at Knife Party would had planned.

I can not even begin to imagine the stuff they had to go through.

The flood gates opened.
P.S. don't worry if it bounces back, we'll still get it

After about three hours the results were in.
Thanks all for sending tunes, we got over 300 tracks, about 20 decent ones. Server was freaking out tho so we've removed the email address.
