Good WEMF, glad it's the last cause I probably wouldn't go again. How there was more hot women on Friday than Saturday I'll never know lol?? Music was OK, not enough Trance. 100% buzzkill switching the stages, ... and worst of all NOT 1 ING LASER!?!?!?!?!? :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip: :whip:
Sorry for the short review, but I went to work this monring and had to leave because my brain wouldn't comprehend a single thing still, LMAO! :haha:
ps, Bound by Sound guys... Rocked it! Awesome sound system there, glad we were close :D |

Quite a way to wrap up an era.
The setup of the mainstage was incredible, with rolling hills in the background. A real shame that they switched stages after the first night...especially since I set up shop (sort of) near it. The DnB was insanely loud...it was vibrating the ground as I was trying to grab some shuteye on Sunday morning. Ah well, its all part of the experience.
Got there Friday afternoon in the pissing rain. Insane car searches, and waterlogged WEMF-ers. When the sun finally poked through the clouds, there was a roar of cheers from everyone on site.
Friday night was the highlight for me. ASYS totally blew me out of the water, and JELO, as usual, cranked up his performance for WEMF. Awesome tunes on Friday!
Actually got some decent sleep, and woke up to the sounds of the renegade stages. Good tunes from a bunch of them. Was nice to hear some house at wemf for a change. The sunny day inspired us to get out and find a place to swim. Luckily, a friend of mine that came up knew the area and took us to all the best beaches and swimming holes.
We came back to the campsite at around noon and that meant a quick breeze through security. As it got hotter in the afternoon we decided to go for another dip. And on our way...we found out that all those new laws about going 50 over...yeah, they're all true. Our car got impounded and the driver lost his license. :( :(
That kinda put a damper on the rest of Saturday afternoon. So we grabbed some shuteye...and unfortunately I slept through Stoneface and Terminal (more :( ), but caught most of the others.
Mark EG - entertaining as hell. It doesn't really matter what he plays, he's just downright hilarious to watch.
Ronski Speed - set of the night for me. It took a lot of work to look past the technicals of his mixing (3 trainwrecks), but he knew how to work the mood of the night. Remixes of classics (Robert Miles - Children, Star 69, etc) and some of his own remixes. Was perfect for me, with the full moon out, dancing under the stars. Amazing experience.
Christopher Lawrence was good, but I wasn't feeling that psy-ish blend at the moment, so only hung out for half the set.
Came back for Kyau and Albert...or just Albert. Who seemed to be just "going through the motions", and playing tunes. I guess I had high expectations because of their monumental performance at 2GetherAs1 at the Docks last year.
All in all, one hell of an adventure and a good way to wrap it up. |

Before & After. I've known them for a couple years now :toothless
The reason for Albert not showing up is because they had a gig booked in Brazil the night before (stupid), so there was no way for both of them to play that gig and fly up to Toronto and drive out to Madawaska for their set time, so they had no choice but to split the gigs between the 2, or flat out cancel out on WEMF... so let's all be thankful that at least Ralph made it.
Was nice to meet Ronski Speed, & Marc MarbErg as well :D
Yep, Marc Marberg is 7'1"! If you never heard of him before his collabs with K&A with Megashira & Orange Bill & Neo Love Check out GUARANA! Best Tech-Trance track EVER!! |

quick review:
Venue: 3/10:
-no trees
-some of the small stages where to close.
-because of the terrain, it was impossible to isolate the stages.
-gotta love drunken mountain climbing.
+the view
Event:
+the sound
-time slots
-music
Stoneface & Terminal were good, so was Ronski (I don't care so much about mixing, he was into it and delivered a good set overall)
I have a feeling that they wanted to give the headliners (Lawrence&Graham) a chance to play the 'good trance tracks' so they were holding off a little bit..
Too bad that the so-called headliners played their things, sometimes breaking the musical flow.
Imagine a one hour 'seek' button on a radio.
Max set was good, but not long enough to really get into it.
Destinys probably placed Kyau&albert at the end because they were expecting ->nice sunrise, nice trance, nice moment.
apparently Kyau wasnt in that mood.
GOOD JOB to one of the stage setup somewhere in the tents field(near the cars, just above the fence).
thumbs up to the DJs playing there. You deserved a lot more space than what you got. |
