we got there a bit past 4 and missed a few friends djing unfotunately
can someone please tell me soulwax was not the coolest performance since the daft punk night?
wow! my pics will be up soon.
best suprise..looking for Hatiras at 6. as set times said...he was not to be found.
jammed on...we headed to the upstairs at 10:45 under the covered part. Hatiras was playing the closing set
every dj/band we heard was fuckin rockin!!!
these guys
frtiz helter and the phantoms
www.myspace.com/fritzhelderandthephantoms
most entertaining group hands down
I've never heard A-trak dj before...people in the crowd kept calling it mash ups etc. He was playing all electronic music...would never call that mashups. alot of nurave electro/dance/rock sound..no mashing of the ups. his mixing style was very hip-hop turntablist. very entertaining. he'd drop a vocal line or a melody of a familair song then cut and drop into the next track straight into the climax.
I'm gonna go smokeand try and get these pics up
the general consensus was soulwax needs to be in every club/bar every day of the week...even needs to be outside of your house in the morning before you goto work.

what a great frigging day. got there around 5, watched VND/LSM and Jokers of the Scene, both were great and got me really pumped. Watched half of A-Trak's set...the rain started coming down but no one was scared off. it only lasted about 10 minutes, and that was it...weather ended up being pretty good. went upstairs to see Heidi...she was fantastic. Super happy and obviously loving what she is doing. Some major tech problems after her set trying to get Matthew Dear going, not sure why they couldn't have let some music play in the background while he hooked up his gear. Also not sure how he made it half way through the first song and it crapped out again. Computer crash?
Went down to see Soulwax, I had never seen them before and was quite impressed. I was up near the front though and the music was ridiculously loud, i had to cover my ears at the buildups. The highs were ear piercing, my ears are still ringing. I had to move farther back. The loudest I have ever heard at a house event.
Went back upstairs to finish Matthew Dear's set, he played a wicked song called "Fox in the Box"...then finished the night with Hatiras. Too bad he only played for like 20 minutes. Just the Tip finished it off.
Venue was great, I loved all the trees and the fountain on the main level. I love that there were two distinct stages, with different sounds. I tend to be a bit of a wanderer. Huge variety of colourful people there, great to see.
I went to the Social afterwards for the afterparty, I don't know who was playing but probably one of the worst dj's i have ever heard, trainwreck into screeching siren into hip-hop into trainwreck.
All in all I would definitly check out an Embrace production again. Heard so many good songs today.
Work is going to suck tommorow big time.
