Agreed... PVD only played one good track that night.

Originally posted by Groundhog Boy OMG, you fockers all missed out. We got there at 4:45 expecting everything to be started based on reviews from last year and the # of acts, but nothing was happening at all. Waxman came on at like 5:15 after we'd grabbed a few beers, and played a few tracks I recognized, but really didn't do much. Part of it was that it was light out, and there were only like 300 people there, including staff. He played Ame - Rej vs. Lustral - Everytime which was kind of interesting to end his set. Junkie XL was next and started off with his older stuff, then went into things from his new album that I'm not that familiar with. First five tracks were Red Pill Blue Pill, Beauty Never Fades, Fight For Your Right To Party, Coldplay - Talk, and Today. After that, no clue. After JXL, Soulwax Night Sessions hit the stage dressed in all white. They absolutely stole the show. If you've seen what's on their Night Sessions CD, that's pretty much what they played. Among highlights were Soulwax - E Talking, Soulwax - Miserable Girl, Thomas Anderson - Washing Up (Tiga Remix). We'll upload videos later. Moby was up next (and Benny Benassi was in the tent), and while he dropped some good tracks, he suffers from Oakey Syndrome in that he can't mix for shit. There were at least two hard trainwrecks in his set where it sounded like bowling balls. The plus of his set was opening up dark and deep and played some good remixes of his Play stuff. There was a good remix of Bodyrock and Porcelain. He also played some track in the beginning that sounded like Bad Boy Bill. Digweed ended and HOLY FUCK!!! He played a great 70-75 minute set with a lot of stuff from his recent sets. At 9:50, he stopped the music and everyone started cheering for the encore. In less than 10 seconds, the music started, and within 3 seconds, I realized he was dropping Heaven Scent. Between Soulwax and Digweed, the night was definitely worth the money. I'd have paid $40 to see Soulwax alone and am really kicking myself for not seeing them in Brooklyn last night and going to Cielo instead.

it was the Yunus mix of Heaven Scent

Originally posted by Groundhog Boy August of 2004?? Worst time I've seen him, and it was completely below how he's been any other time.

He actually did real well the night after here in Boston...it was august 28th here...He absolutely tore it apart after Desyn Masiello opened for him. I still say on a bad night he's better than 90 percent of the other djs on this planet.

There are a few more in addition to these on my Flickr site.

This is how empty it was around 5pm.


Then JXL came on to try to get the crowd going.


Diggers twds the end.


I was pretty worried when it didn't start to fill up by sunset. On the plus side, there weren't lines for drinks or the bathroom. In a nutshell, the party was off to a dismal start, but Soulwax and Diggers turned it around. JXL was good as usual, but he needs some new tracks in his repertoire. Yes, we all like Blue Pill Red Pill but he's started with it for how many years now?? And I can see why some people didn't like Soulwax, especialy if they don't know them at all. We went in knowing what to expect and actually looked fwd to them being a main act. Personally, I thought they were awesome. The entire act was energetic and creative. And sorry about all the shaking during the Heaven Scent clips. It was a little hard to stand still at that point!
