We're not saying that Ultra has seen it's final days in Miami, but with the scandal bubbling around this year's festival, we'll be surprised with what the future holds for this, one of America's largest EDM festivals. One thing we can say is that, outside of the drama and problems that arised, Ultra truly does bring the biggest names in the EDM out to throw down, and with so much of America's EDM scene being about the festival atmosphere, it's always interesting to get one of these sets into your possession. Even if you weren't there, you're transported to Miami the instant they kick on. Something about that Winter Music Conference vibe, and so many dance music lovers being in one place... people live their lives chasing that feeling.
This year, DJs flew out of the woodwork, getting their mixes up as quickly as possible. While we don't dabble in the many SoundCloud accounts that are bootlegging the sites, we did want to collect the sets that the actual DJs uploaded to their pages. So here you have it, an archive of sets from the 2014 Ultra Music Festival from the DJs that spun them (in no real order aside from when we see them).
Tiesto
Watch Tiësto's entire set from Ultra Music Festival 2014 which includes highlights like his next single, Wasted ft. Matthew Koma, the Tiësto vs. Dzeko & Torres Remix of John Martin as well as their collaboration, a medley with Icona Pop of his remix of I Love It and Let's Go (from his upcoming album), a collaboration with MOTi, some updates on Tiësto classics like Escape Me and Feel It In My Bones and the new fan favorite, Footprints.

Above & Beyond
One of the more memorable shows of our lives thanks to some pretty crazy weather - thank you all for battling against the elements. The rain totally fried all our on-stage equipment around 16 mins into this video, forcing us to play on the reserve decks with our backs to the crowd and a giant LED rig blocking our view. The festival organisers played a dubstep mix of Sun Is Shining during the rain break - very appropriate. The video feed drops out 7 minutes from the end, also due to the inclement weather, but we figured you'd still enjoy the audio so we left it in - the pictures do also return right at the very end.
