[Orang Utan]

[mark_substance]

Have only just started thinking about this (I'm not very good at long term planning) but I am very tempted. Just need to find another person as everyone else I know already has their tickets!

Yes there is! I've got better ones too. Unfortunately i'm off now. Have a good weekend!

Bock.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Well, how good was that then?

 

[electroplated]

That was absolutely wicked, now suffering badly!

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Innit! Slept for 12 hours today and am now hitting the bananas and the ibuprofen hard

Highlights... Roots Manuva, Salt n Pepa, Instra:Mental, Anti-Pop Consortium, Mix Master Mike, Skream and Benga

 

[Boycey]

*jealous*

i was offered a free ticket on saturday morning but had no way to get there

funny you say that skream and were good- saw them last year and it was fucking shambolic but hey ho. glad you enjoyed yerselves.

 

[electroplated]

debasser / radioactiveman / grandmaster flash / model 500 & mad mike / surgeon / hype / bass junkie vs the dexorcist were the ones I went for, all pretty darn good

 

[The_Reverend_M]

funny you say that skream and were good- saw them last year and it was fucking shambolic but hey ho. glad you enjoyed yerselves.

Oh, I've seen him and bEnga back2back before and it's been shambolic to the extreme but this time they were on top form - especially all the new Hardcore stuff they played at the end of their set

Check one of Skream's here:
...apparently his new album is gonna feature plenty more like this

 

[genee_rave]

My faves: radioactiveman / kelpe / mixmaster mike / appleblim

roots manuva - new stuff sounded great, old stuff was like a rehearsal

grandmaster flash - enjoyed the beginning when he was scratching but then got a bit party

enjoyed the bits i saw of ellen alien and derrick may. gutted to miss luke vibert but had to sleep!

 

[Dan U]

some people i know went down to do some filming and said it was full of chin strokers who didn't dance much

surely not, given the line up?

 

[genee_rave]

Well, it seemed quite quiet even though it was sold out. I think there was definitely a chin-stroking older contingent for the techno.
My theory is that a lot of younger people got too wasted to leave their chalet!
