The Story Behind Everything Ultra
What started as a simple photo documentation project in 2014 has evolved into one of the most Hyped sources for Ultra Music Festival updates. Working across from the venue, I began capturing the festival's setup progress, initially sharing these moments on Instagram under accounts like "ultrasetup2014" and "ultrasetup2015". As the following grew, this passion project transformed into what you now know as Everything Ultra.
Every March, the instagram becomes a hub of excitement, with engagement soaring as festival-goers from around the world tune in for exclusive updates. The community grows by thousands each year, and while many international followers might see me as an Ultra insider, I'm simply a passionate Miami local documenting the magic. It's important to note that Everything Ultra operates independently and is not officially affiliated with Ultra Music Festival.
The man, the myth.. the legend?
¡Hola! I'm Lesan, a Cuban-born Miami resident of over 30 years. My journey with electronic music has been a fascinating evolution - from initially dismissing EDM to becoming a devoted fan of house music, particularly tech house, deep house, and chill house. When I'm not tracking Ultra's progress, I work as a freelance graphic and web designer under Tride Designs.
The Community
Everything Ultra exists because of this amazing community. Every March, I dedicate countless hours to bringing you exclusive coverage of the festival setup, and I'm committed to continuing this legacy for years to come. Whether you're a local or visiting Miami, I'm always happy to connect! Let's grab a cafecito, hit the beach, or go rollerblading. Your support, whether through following, sharing, or contributing to my cafecito fund, helps keep this project running and growing.
Much love to the Ultra family! See you at the festival! 🎉
