Here's how I see it.
12.00 -01.00 Mark James >>Pretty good set, nothing special though.
01.00-02.00 Carl Kennedy >>(Wasn't at main stage)
02.00-03.30 Eddie Halliwell >>My favourite for the day, besides the music he was fun to watch, he is now my favourite DJ!
03.30-05.00 Roger Sanchez >>Sucked, very badly. He tried to get the crowed to join in but they ignored him; was funny.
05.00-06.30 John Digweed >>Was a really good set, but I think I expected more from him.
06.30-08.00 Sven Vath >>Maybe its just not my style but I think he went too hard for too long and it just got boring.
08.00-08.30 James Holroyd >>Enjoyed it, don't know how I would describe it but the man really has his own style.
08.30-10.00 Chemical Brothers >>Amazing.
Crap.
Eddie's set was a snore, sanchez was filled with very commerical tracks/aca's.
john digweed i thought was fucking brilliant, set of the day in my opinion.
i think i expected more from vath, thought he went too flat in parts... emissions/spastik were good though.
markus schulz was awesome.

I wasnt gonna go to this event, but was drawn by a few DJ's that I hadnt crossed off my list, and the fact that it was at the sydney myer music bowl and wasnt muzzdayze so it may not have been as packed therefore allowing some degree of freedom. I was right in someways but mainly wrong.
Nice and easy to get in at about 2:00pm which was great much better than past experiences at muzzadayze. Though access to the dance floor sucked big time. I doubt I will go back to an event at that arena. I aint lining up for 4hrs to be shoved into a sardine can so I can actually see a DJ. Not to mention the hundreds that jump over and neck themselves. And security guards are just tools. What happened to the old days in 2000-2005? Nothing will top AVB back in 2005. The events have gotten too big. The parties at Rod laver, vodaphone are heaps better.
Ahh well, this negative experienced affected my opinions of the DJ's I saw, as I couldnt really grasp how good the sets were without being on the dance floor watching the dj's, the crowd, and absorbing the tunes.
Eddie Halliwell: Played as I'd feared. Halliwell influenced Electro house. Very disappointing for me, I was a bit ambitious thinking he would play a trance set at 2.00pm shoved between house prog and tech dj's. Love the guys the enthusiam and ability (though his tricks are a bit overdone at times) but he's much better as a trance DJ. His last or second last mix was a major trainwreck which he barely managed to recover from in time. Crowd seemed to enjoy his set though.
Roger Sanchez: Very commercial but it was primarily a commercial crowd so he hit the spot. Started really well and finished really well. Loved some of the mash up's he did, kept the crowd excited. Sweet dreams was mad, thats if it was him that played it or digweed coz I couldnt see anything. Dont think diggers would have played it.
John Digweed: I wanted to see diggers as I hadnt seen him before. He started well but seemed to lose me, perhaps too flat for me given I am more into trance. Though I started wandering off at this point coz I got the sh&ts with how packed it got in the main arena. Not to mention that if you need a piss in the middle of someones set you can pretty kiss the set goodbye. Wouldnt mind seeing him play in a club.
Sven Vath: Can't really evualate his set coz I am not into techno. But it was too boring and minimal for me. Maybe I needed some acid? I think that set could have been teleported back to german bush rave in 1992 and it would have sounded the same. Is that how is supposed to sound? Has that sound evolved/developed/changed at at all? I am asking these as questions because I really dont know! And am not meaning to upset anyone :-) Perhaps I need some more education about this music.
James Holroyd: Forgive my ignorance but I've never heard of this guy. I couldnt actually hear anything and seemed to take a while to start, but it sounded like a continuation of Vath's set. I was well bored by this stage and started heading over to see Markus Schulz.
Chemical Brothers: Never seen them before, probably never will. I expected them to play their hits which everyone would know. Then play fillers. Although I was over watching Markus Schulz the rest of my friends watching chemical said this is exactly what it was like, some of them left at about 9.15pm and came over to watch Schulz.
Mark Knight: Caught the last 3 tracks were really big housey tunes, and an oldy. The crowd loved it. He was handing bottles of something which was funny. He jumped the record or something in the last/second last track which he would have cursed about. Most of my friends would have loved this guy, but they were put off by the famous tent earlier on from a pretty 'lifeless' set from someone else, not sure who it was.
Markus Schulz: Gold. Though I am a trance head this is biased info. hehe. Starting quite slow with some minimal sounding trance, then some eery tunes and some insane remix of greece 2000. Then something bad happened! Some knob from the event staff tapped him on the shoulder and told him something which he cracked the shits about. Not sure exactly what happened so correct me if I am wrong. The volume seem to go down and schulz stuck his headphones on the table and looked to have cracked it big time and pointing at the speakers and shrugging his shoulders. The crowd started screaming out Markus! Markus! He couldnt hear properly now which affected the next mix and he was visibly upset him even more, I think he figured he was stuffed anyway so he turned the monitors around to the crowd to give us more sound! The crowd went ape shit and schulz continued but obviously struggling a little, barely able to hear/mix properly! He still pulled it off, and at times cranked the volume on the builds ups looking over the event staff and started laughing, the crowd were cheering and egging him on which was really funny. His set got better and better playing all his huge tunes like, the perspective space, fly away cg mix, mad mix of daydream, needs to feel, big sky. The last few of which were played with the fireworks in the background which was unreal. Hats of schulz. Why the hell wasnt he in the main room? Perhaps I would have taken a pissing bottle, some food, drink and lined up 3hrs prior to his set to watch him on the dance floor.
All in all the crowd was heaps better than summadayze imo. Toilets werent too much of a queue, neither was food, drinks, etc (at times). The dance floor arrangement sucked so that was the biggest put off for me.
well said.
