Breaks has always been classified as EDM afaik. Hip Hop has not.

Dont hate the playa, hate the game

Give it a chance. They are a lot of fun I'd rather see them than some EDM DJ for the 6th time.

I told you, I have no problem with those acts. However, we already have Big Day Out and Good Vibes in Sydney. We don't need another mixed genre festival.

If that happens, within 2 years there will be no major EDM acts because the others will eclipse them. I like small club gigs and sideshows, but sometimes I just want a huge festival with EDM acts all over the place. This is now being threatened.

Fledz is on the ball.

+1 to fledz

why the Fk is NERD gonna take prime spot when markus schulz (or the way i'd prefer it a larger name in EDM) were closing MAIN stage instead of being stuck on some piece of crap side stage...

You have to admit; having a mainstream act will distract unwanted attention from those you choose to see. Although i'd doubt Hawtin will be getting a side stage.

Actually, I'm one of the rarer people that loves when it's packed. Not always, but there's just something about going to an event when it's ram packed. It's awesome.

face it kids, your precious "EDM" has become mainstream and you have to share with everybody else

Posted by m1kest4r on Nov-24-2008 21:00:

I'm guessing it'd probably be a similar deal to this years. Hawtin would get main stage earlier in the day ala digweed.

I highly doubt that's quantifiable in terms of rare/common

Posted by Fledz on Nov-24-2008 22:03:

Most people I speak to hate being at a crowded event. It's a decent enough sample base

I find it hard to believe that NERD are more "mainstream" than some of these trance acts these days.

I really think you are being far too precious about it. But everyone has their own opinion.

But please dont ever call Jay Z some random RnB singer again. That really got me going

you must live in a small world if you believe that's true

Posted by gumble on Nov-25-2008 01:06:

but not as small as the world of a trance fan who doesn't see that!

No, I just know a lot more about that kind of music than you do.

How many times did Tiesto fill Festival Hall? How many people went to see AVB?

I saw NERD at The Forum with a very very intimate crowd.

They are massive as The Neptunes but that is production for other artists and not their music.

What kind of people do you think they are going to attract that will ruin your 'EDM' experience?

Posted by Dj_Es-Dva on Nov-25-2008 22:57:

Charlee; I have honestly never heard of NERD or the members who make them up - my gf informed me they are rather big?? Therefore any trance names like Tiesto and Armin are more mainstream to me then NERD

Check Etienne De Crecy's cube art during his show. It rivals the Daft pyramid!

I'm moderately happy with that. Probably better than this years actually, there were really only a couple of decent acts this year imo. FMF07 is still reigning supreme so far.

Been waiting forever to see Lawrence in Adelaide. Saw him for the first time at DV last year but the tent wasn't very full cos PvD, Carl Cox and someone else who I can't remember were all playing at the same time.

And yes, NERD are more mainstream than Tiesto etc. NERD have been played on Nova and Tiesto hasn't, and for me thats the test of mainstreaminess.

haha i think that's a pretty unfair assumption that i don't know about 'that kinda of music'

i think pharell williams, one of the biggest names in one of the largest commercial scenes in the largest music-consuming country in the world (US) is far better known than ferry corsten for example.

furthermore, if you think it's popularity, how about you compare album sales

Posted by charlee on Nov-26-2008 10:47:

We dont live in America.

NERD as a group is NOT The Neptunes or Pharrell Williams.

I have been waiting for these guys to come back out and I am happy that Future is touring them. As I said, people can have their own opinion

i didn't say anything about the neptunes: I was talking about Pharell being popular, as pretty much the lead singer in NERD obviously he's pretty relevant to me mentioning their popularity...

people know pharell, and people know he's part of NERD: and if they don't the flyer that future's pushing clearly says "with Pharell"

this lineup looks swell as in my eyes.. i wouldnt mind reliving some of my old house/electro days with angello and ingrosso.

oakenfold sounds like a mad addition to the lineup for sure
