6:30 AM - Wake up and hour and a half before alarm is set for, owww, urghhh, this is not good, my mouth is burnt to shit, my legs keep cramping up from dancing, feels like someone punched me in the jaw, my stomach feels warm as I breath... ohh this is not good... the simplest things seem excessivly difficult right now

7:30 AM - ****** dat shit, make the rational decision to call in sick...you'd have to be batshit insane crazy to go work this morning.


So more review, what I forgot. Zabiela'a afterparty @ Boom Boom on Sunday was amazing, some say they didn't like his set, I thought it was spectacular. Watching that guy work his skills on the CDJs, EFXs and Mixers is truly a awesome sight. Scratching as I first walked in, jaw dropped at the sounds and the frequency and placement of the precise scratches enhance the track playing. Some great tunes played too, apparently his set was very similar to his at DEMF in the Pioneer tent early that evening.

My expectations after last year were too high - none of the sets really wowed me except for Cobblestone Jazz on Monday. Richie was a snooze compared to what happened last year. Weather was better though. $200/nt hotel next to the fest had a strict no alcohol policy - wtf.

After parties - both the ferrer party @ Shelter and Old Miami were excellent. Tronic party (upstairs from Shelter) had no vibe whatsoever.

I never even knew this sort of thing existed?!?!

This was my first DEMF..... Let me just say I was really impressed with the event. The mainstage had the most massive sound I have ever heard.

Basically I got to DEMF around noon Saturday and did not leave until 12 am this morning.

I may write a better review once I get some sleep. I had to be up for work at 6 am this morning.

Anybody know what the last track Hawtin played at both the Minus party and at the Beatport stage ? it's a fast paced "grinding" song and then he finsihes it off with a sweeping instrumental (no beat) that slows down to an end. It was about the same both nights.

it was our first DEMF and we had good time. Will likely go back next year. We can't compare it to previous years but we liked the set up at Hart plaza and the sound was excellent compared to most festivals around the US. Plus where else are you going to get that much techno in the US ?
