Kandi, the essential item that ties fashion and EDM together. These little circles of PLUR are traded with a handshake that represents everything a festival is about; peace, love, unity and respect. When experiencing the music as a crowd, you cant help but feel a sense of togetherness. Exchanging kandi is a way to signify and represent that feeling. One of the best parts of trading kandi is the surprise of which bracelet you're going to receive. Anything that can be physically attached to a bracelet has been. The more unique and original the kandi, the more exciting it is. The trade starts with you and another holding your fingers together in a peace sign, followed by cupping your hands together to form a heart, entwining your fingers with one anothers and then the actual trade (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect). Forget Pogs, Spice Girl cards or Silly Bandz because trading kandi is more than just exchanging an item, it's about embracing music's culture.
