just railing stims left and right? doesn't sound fun

quick recap of last night:
wokeup at 2am and headed over to La Santanera. Much smaller venue compared to Blue Parrot. Nina Kraviz was on the decks, was super packed in the main room. She was playing some heavy deep tribal followed by some BASS HEAVY mid 90's ghetto chicago house tracks that sounded very refreshing. She's quite the dancer behind the decks i gotta say, the crowd was feeding off her energy.
Around 3am i headed to Blue Parrot and Davide Squillace was playing , heard him play his track "That Ginger Ponytail". The crowd was definitely digging his track selection as was i. Around 4am Dubfire got on. He opened his set with Maceo Plex's "Stay High For Me". He started kinda deep housey but then went into full on techno mode. My only criticism of his set was that he kept using the same ing PRESET EFFECTS. One of them was a clap loop, the other was an echo/delay effect. Effects in moderation is great, but he kept using them every 15-30 seconds which got crazy annoying. Then i headed back to La Santanera to see a bit of Guy Gerber's set, he was dropping some heavy techno including his own remix of "Tourist Trap".

Quick question for people at BPM:
If you have no presale tickets (sales ended) or wristbands, is it still easy (or possible) to get into events?
I may be going there last minute this weekend, and want to know if I'll have a tough time coming with just cash. What would the typical cash cover be?
Thanks!

Yeah its still pretty easy to get in, they are accepting cash at all the clubs.
FYI, the the rebel rave party with Jamie Jones was sold out on Wanttickets way before BPM started so i doubt u might be able to get tickets.
Also..... Bottle service is very affordable i gotta say (and extremely popular). Anywhere from $90-$180 at most for a bottle.

I've also read that you can get tickets at the BPM FESTIVAL Ticket Centre located outside KOOL BEACH CLUB. Is that true? I was looking forward to that Jamie Jones party...
Anyway, I'll be making it down for the weekend great last minute trip lol.

Went to Serge Devant and Dirty South @ Pink Elephant. Was nice to finally here some house music. The minimal go nowhere music was starting to get to me.
Pink Elephant was cool, high end alcohol was kinda expensive so I suggest getting smashed before.
It is still easy to get it without presale. Usually $5 dollars more at the door, so about same thing when you factor service fee.
You can buy tickets at the shop by kool beach but there is a line usually so you might as well just buy at the door.

one of the many bombs Davide dropped the other night.

I'm not one for long winded reviews... this festival was un-ing-believeable in so many ways... the crowd, vide, venues and dj's were all top notch! Richie Hawtin at Blue Parrot for the win! Can't wait till next year.

I've seen people start at midnight and not stop until the following midnight on like 3 pills, a banana or two, and Red Bull.
Some people are just programmed that way.
Hell, I've afterpartied until noon sober before... after being up at like 7am the previous morning. Sometimes the music is THAT good. :)

Last night here. Seams like I've been here forever! (since NYE)
Actually didn't party as much. Did touristy things like going to see Tulum, Xcaret amusement park and going to Isla Mujueres (island off of Cancun)
Bout one final round of partying tonight! Gonna go check out Steve Angello....
....this place is heaven for you tech heads!

its official...as predicted, bpm is the new wmc. (funny, but i actually just cxld our flights to wmc yesterday) this was the year that bpm put themselves on the map bigtime and everyone has taken notice.
hawtin at blue parrot ftw.
lee burridge day party, prob the best crowd/party of the week. tho i would like him to give us a couple more bpm's, cause his sets turn out to be a lil on the slow side.
worst crowd was the mark knight day party...yikes - i felt like i was at the jersey shore.
i skipped out on the angello party last night...im beat. plus, i thought his billing was weird and out of place given this week's talent
other best sets/parties - heidi, lawler, hawtin/dubfire backtoback, all parties at canibal royal...list goes on and on.
props to the bpm folks. ten days of this and i am beat. lol.
