I think I'll still take God's Kitchen over this too, but it is at twice the price for one day.

Did I see the word "beach?" OMG, WEMF is going to be good. I can't wait!!! Don't forget about the TA campsite for anyone who is interested. I'm going to try and get there as early as possible like last year and pick a camp spot right by the Destiny stage. Last year my friends and I had an awesome spot!!!
WEMF looks fookin amazing!
*books off from work aug 2-5*
looking good
this was certainly interesting, considering the venue is not released until one month prior:

Pulser
Pulser Bio:
If you have been anywhere near a major club in the last 4 years, chances are you have got off your nut to a track written, remixed or produced by Andy Perring.
1999 saw �Spiritualised� by THE OLMEC HEADS released on Neo Records. The track was a huge hit with all the major-league DJ�s. Alex Gold of �Extravaganza Records� described Spiritualised as �The Biggest� tune heard at Privilege in Ibiza throughout �99.
The Olmec Heads, followed up with a string of top remixes for artists such as Moby, Apollo 440 and The Space Brothers before releasing their follow-up, a menacing trance tune called �Magicman�.
During this period Andy branched out and created �PULSER�. The first track under his new guise was �CLOUDWALKING�, released on fledgling UK label ATCR. Cloudwalking again smashed it and established Pulser as a major new name in Trance. Pulser�s second outing �LIGHTWAVE� was on Andy�s own label �Activation Records� and achieved fantastic exposure for the new imprint, making several major dance compilations around the world.
Never one to stand still, Andy is also one half of �INSIGMA� alongside Steve Helstrip of �The Thrillseekers�. Insigma�s first release also titled �Insigma� hit the mark with Pete Tong who played it week in, week out on Radio One. Mixing driving progressive trance rhythms with blissed-out melodies, Insigma�s follow �up �Open our Eyes � is pure dynamite, the fuse of which was lit by Paul Oakenfold and DJ Tiesto. Both DJ�s have continued to support the record since its initial promo�s were released in Jan 2001. VC records have since snapped it up and will unleash the new vocal mixes early 2002 and if 25,000 people at this years Gatecrashers Summer Sound System are anything to go by, it is set to become one of 2002�s biggest Anthems.
Andy has also teamed up with writer Danny Kirsch, responsible for several top 40 tracks including the Top 10 track by Lange- Drifting Away. The act is entitled Sacred and have already been snapped up by BMG Publishing.
Finding time for Dj�ing with such a heavy studio schedule can be difficult, but Andy can also be found out and about on the 1s and 2s. Confirmed gigs for 2002 include Luners (Japan), Red (Cyprus), Plaza Of Nations (Vancouver), Devoted To Trance (Finland), Agent 05 (Finland) and his residency Illusions (Finland.) Andy is also planning to increase his DJ�ing activities and has secured high profile slots at some of UK�s most prestigious club/festivals. Andy is equally at home warming up or smashing it with his main sets, Andy can appeal to many different floors whilst remaining an inventive and original DJ.
Looking forward to 2002, Andy will be releasing a new �PULSER� single in the spring. His remixes continue to dominate the floors of Gatecrasher, Godskitchen and Passion, with current monsters including JOSE AMNESIA�s � �THE ETERNAL� and his dark & tribal mix of MATT DAREY�s classic �BEAUTIFUL�, which has just received the accolade of being made Judge Jules� �Tried and Tested� tune. Future remixes include FAITHLESS -�DRIFTING AWAY� and he is just about start remixing the new DIDO single, from her new album.
Holy shit !!!
Pulser alone is worth going to a party !!! Add Lange and Yves Deruyter
and you get an amazing line-up !!
Damn. I sure hope I can go to WEMF this year !!
b00m b00m
Thank you for bringing in Lange and Yves De Ruyter...they both fuckin' rock. As for next year, try and get less UK Djs and more Holland / German Trance Djs.

This looks amazing. I just hope it works out good with no problems.
Well Im not going be here but you lot have a good time.

WEMF IS GONNA BE AMAZING
I don't even care who's there out of all the "superstar" dj's and all that jazz, I'm sure all of the dj's will be good, and there's so much variety in all the music played that there has to be some kind of music that u like, whether it's hard house (MEEEEEE!!!!) or like drum n bass (no thanks)....I'm into all the hardhouse and hardtrance i can get so it's gonna be amazing
it's gonna be my first big party so I'm soooooooo pumped.....
what are the rules on sleeping and stuff? can u bring tents? and will they search through all your stuff at the entrance, like sleeping bags and tents and stuff? or will they just give it a once-over kinda thing and not really worry about it? I gotta figure out a strategy here....

knives? I don't want to bring knives, just drugs....lol...
so like what if u want to get blazed? how should i get my stuff in?
I only want to bring some weed, nothing serious or anything, but what do u think is the best way to get it in? all u people that have been before, help me out on this one!
dude, don't worry about the search. i've been to the past 3 wemfs, and each time i haven't had a thorough search. they basically just ask what is in each of your bags (ie clothes, tent, etc.) just hide all your goodies non visibly, and you should be in for an amazing weekend.
this wemf looks like a solid weekend, can't wait to finally see kevin energy, even if i have to venture from destiny to hullabaloo. eww, hello rave sludge
