well well well. i didn't really know what to expect - i knew the music would be awesome (the *only* reason i was going), and the crowd shit. turned out pretty much like that. to get the bad out of the way first, shirtless muzzas with muscles larger than their brains are not exactly my idea of friendly, especially when negotiating through their crowds invariably cops you a faceful of sweat or an elbow in the guts...but, despite their massive numbers, they didn't ruin my day.
got there about two p.m. sporting a *massive* hangover, but still managed to cruise around and enjoy myself - krafty kuts and a-skillz were on at the time, and though they weren't top of my list to see, they (imo) cranked out in the best set that i heard all day/night. their mixing; scratching; general fucking around with the decks had to be seen to be believed, and at one stage i swear they changed tracks about five times in a minute...and it sounded great.
groove armada were great - their live set early last year (minus findlay) was better - but they knew how to get the crowd going, and "superstylin'", as usual, went off. unfortunately i didn't get to see or hear much of bob sinclar (probably the man i was most pumped to see ), as the set-out was shit around the back of the bowl - it was too packed, and the bass from the next stage was clashing at the closest position i seemed to be able to get to. a bit of the same for derrick carter, though i found his set to be uninspired, actually - just a bit dull, and i'm not sure why.
caught a few others - for a local playing music that i don't enjoy nearly as much anymore, i thought master kaos put in a fantastic set; what i caught of lange was *awesome*; and infusion really carved it up, played a *very* nice set.
all in all, a really good day - and i even managed to catch up with a few faces i hadn't seen around for a while! dunno if i can back it up again next year (if i do, i don't think i'll drink so much the night before ), but it was worth it this year!
