Glad to hear that everyone had an awesome time, But I'm absolutely horrified at seeing the Saturday Night set times - I'm by no means an expert on the topic but someone should have known better than to break apart the Euphonic artists, put S&T on first and to top it all off wedge Max f*cking Graham in between a prog trance act and an uplifting act.
Not pointing fingers, but the partygoers and the artists deserve better planning - Ideally the last WEMF isn't the time to the proverbial bed like that.
Whatever though. I'm sure I'll hear how massively awesome the Breaks stage was in t-minus 3 hours. :D |

If you went to bed after about 4:30 it was breaks not dnb/jungle
I dont really see the big deal switching the stages, wemf attracts as large a dnb/jungle crowd as trance. :rolleyes: |

Lmao... you kids dont even know!
Marcus Intelex and Lynx with Mc DRS and MC Tali was prob the best musical DnB act ive ever seen...
Not to mention how Andy C murdered everything in sight after that. Crazy intro!
and yeah.... that stuff that kept your ass up was breaks, not dnb.
High five! |

ill first start off by saying i just got back from work thinking I had a shift today. woke up at 7 shower shaved went there and was told i dont work... now im lieing in bed still recovering lol.
all i gotta say is that this wemf was in awsome. friday night was great but I couldnt get into any of the djs at the 4x4 cause the volume was so bloody low at the starting. Me and my friend were right at the front having a casual conversation lol. i ended up at at the renegade stage beside the friday nite dnb stage. holy they brought me back into hard trance, i was loving every minute of it even broke out the glowsticks for the first time in ages lol. started to pass out in those recliner dealies at the back of the stage so decided to pass out for the night. it was really different just drinking at wemf. i spent saturday day completly hungover even the lake didnt help too much which was absolutly beautiful. i wish i took pictures and brought some beers i coulda spent all day there easily, crystal clear water and gorgous scenery for miles. if anyone has any pics of the lake with the two washrooms please post em!
saturday night i was still exhausted and hungover and was contemplating going to sleep for a cpl hrs but said it and started drinking hard.. its the last wemf... go hard or go home. i cant believe no one has said anything about marcus intalex's set. i think this was by far the best set i heard all weekend. puuure dnb groove the entire time. MC drs was killing it and when tali came on and they started going back n forth it made my in nite! once it ended i needed more booze and i got about half way before i hear the starting of andy c's intro.... iv never ran that fast before in my life! lol. trippin over camp chairs i finally reach there and damn that was sick intro lol. his set was damn good too but i was starting to get way too tired throughout the end. and im too tired to type anymore. drive was back was brutal went like 20 kph for half of it... and mcdonalds felt like a amazing gourmet lunch lol
to the girl that was lost, sorry i couldnt help ya u were making absolutly no sense, cant find a single red tent at wemf when its dark, hope ya got back ok lol.
and on that note i sleep. peace
note to destiny: please give us wemfers and a big mofo of a stage at cemf! |

nuf said, if you didn't see Tali come out during Intelex and Lynx you missed the best of WEMF. Those base lines just rolled over and destroyed me. At first i was really pissed off when i heard they'd changed up the 4x4 and DnB stages but they def. made the right decision.
Stoneface and Terminal also blew me away! I got to live my dream... hearing "More than Anything" played by some of my favorite djs!
Andy C's MASSIVE intro on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYgM9Z0nGVE

Want to take a wild guess what type of music was playing on the good stage with the good speaker system? |
Waah!

Max Graham's closing track combined with the fog and lights pretty much made my life. I hadnt experienced that type of 'care free' mentality since WEMF 06.
Ive never experienced DnB at such an amazing intensity before. Andy C's intro was insane. |
Yes guy! Andy had the place in a frenzy for the 1.5 hours i saw but then i went over to see Max Graham who i totally enjoyed, he plyed a lot of tracks i wanted to hear... cant remember any of but yeah.
Then came Kyau he played a little bit too much of the Euphonic stuff(i know he has to push it but damn) anyways it was just too one sided sounding for me and he was a little ver the top with the singing and air guitaring for me and running of stage doing whatever he was doing. Hearing Velvet morning was my highlight in his set, sadly i missed S&T earlier in the night.
Marc Marburg played some played out tunes as someone said.
i would luv to write a full review but i wasn't there on friday so ill leave it the rest of you guys. All in all a good Wemf for me.
Edit: how many people got lost on the way back, navigating half a sleep is no fun, lol. |

I'm glad I asked him to play it. I've always wanted to hear Velvet Morning to the sunrise :P
Velvet Morning to the sunrise = BEST SUNRISE EVER!! |

good ing times
drive started off a lil long with traffic on the ing 401, but after that was flowing nicely took us around 5hours from leaving toronto at 2pm. nice scenery all around loved it
yea my ticket beeped too but they still let me in without any trouble
wow some serious searching this time, ******s took away my red peppers and Lithuanian vodka *grunt* but thank you
found a nice spot right in front of some house stage and inbetween the 4x4 and dnb main stages... great location loved being in the middle of it all
main stages looked ing bomb especialy the bottom one..
music wise:
friday night was great saw ASYS who ing rocked it hard, also the psy dj before ASYS killed it too... was aweasome with the full moon up and fog
saturday day music sucked, all the little stages were either playing house or dnb fuuck some variety would have been nice..
night time things kicked off well
OS/2 and Anabolic Frolic was great, funky
Stoneface and terminal absolutely ing owned id gladly let them play for 3 or 4 hours instead of ALL THE OTHER TRANCE DJS. They played TRANCEPONDERRR w00t
MArk EG ing owned, sick sick sick moving tunes... i dont know why u ppl diss on him... i thought he sucked last wemf but this time i gave him a chance and i couldnt sotp dancing totaly aweasome and hes funny to watch
roski speed... meh kinda boring... and cheesyyy
christopher lawrence was ok.. sometimes he'd be really good sometimes it was kinda bland.. typical of him i never expect much from this guy
max graham...meh making me fall asleep... didnt wait for kayu/albert glad i didnt
Andy C was ripping it up, he always does big up
bad: lack of music variety during the day, annoying weeds,
WHERE THE WAS THE BEACH/LAKE????
Whos the bitch that stole our giant jug of water?
overall good times, funny how the watershack guy kept getting kicked out 3-4 times... hed just walk around or lie on the ground or talk haha "WAKE UP RAVERS" somehow he always managed to get back in funny
oh yeah i have a funny feeling that there will be another wemf... may be they'll call it something else.. |

In short, the organization was , but the event itself was still amazing. Katie and I were able to see things from behind the scenes, and it's surprising that everything went as smoothly as it did. VIPs this year got totally shafted. I feel soo sorry for the people who actually bought VIP tickets - what a gigantic waste of money.
We have like 4GBs of backstage videos and pics. It'll be a while before you guys see them cause we're so busy, but the wait will be well worth it - some serious gems in there.
Coming home, we agreed that it's the last one, cause it doesn't feel like Destiny wants to put in the effort to make it happen anymore.
Oh well. Still had a great time.
Edit: full review coming much, much later too. Too many things to mention in it. |

CEMF, but it just wont be the same, that sort of crazy atmosphere wont go down as well with a large rock crowd. From what i remember reading of last years CEMF the majority of the attendees were annoyed with the 'loud "techno" music'.
But if the lineups good enough, it might still be worth checking out, however this years definatly isnt. |
