4E is the home of the electronic music scene β artists, sets, events and clubs, all in one app. DISCOVER ARTISTS Explore DJ and producer profiles, listen to sets and tracks in the in-app player and follow the artists you love. The music keeps playing while you browse other pages. KEEP UP WITH EVENTS See the full line-up by stage and set time, and tap a stage to open its schedule. Ticket tiers are listed on the event page with a direct link to the official ticketing site. Use the interactive venue map to find your way around with ease β stages, food court, restrooms, first aid, showers, water stations, parking and exits β and check the menu at each food spot. LIVE MAP (OPTIONAL) At events that turn this feature on, you can join the live map and see who from your crew is nearby. It only works if you opt in: your location is sent only while the map is open, stays in the server's memory for 45 seconds and is never written to disk. You can leave the map or block someone at any time. DANCEFLOOR TALK Join communities, chat on the forum, arrange rides to the party and send direct messages to other people in the scene.
