| ^ eh why not just make it berghain on the beach or an ostgut showcase, robert hood @ tattoo is going to be dope though. still the highlights of ei this summer for me was when 1. sven vath dropped PAS future modular and 2. sven vath dropped len faki - octopus. |

| Well yea not all hard techno all day, the residents have some nice tracks they could pull out for the occasion, plus who ever plays at panorama |

If they can afford Sven, they can afford pretty much anyone that isn't an EDM cheese superstar (tiesto, guetta etc).
Bring on Carl Cox ffs |

Wow, so they DID announce it last second, even though though they clearly knew about it beforehand. I know artists do cancel, but it's usually not TOO much of a problem if there's a lot of artists already on the bill. |
im not sure if they announced before 830 but i know at 830 they did... but come to think of it there is no way they would announce it earlier, the event had bad weather and not to many heads were showing up so im pretty sure they wouldnt... i wonder who played the after party?

drumcell @ 120
venue : tiny dance floor, layout is kinda weird. reminds me of a labyrinth of some sort. staff were very nice including security. capacity said 200 on RA, dance floor could very well be only 50 or less hahaha.
crowd : saw a few familiar faces. the people i spoke to were pretty nice, most of the crowd was there to dance
music: slamming set, not much else to say. made me dance like a madman. my second favourite set of the year. techno fix reached for time being |

| Went to Drumcell at 120 last night. Interesting place, I enjoyed the layout more than I thought I would. Music was on point. Drumcell definitely delivered a good techno beat down. I like how they kept the lighting to a minimum. Small dance floor but the crowd was definitely enjoying themselves. Overall, great night! Looking forward to more of these! |

Yeah it was mad dark on the dance floor , didn't mind it at all. Would have loved to hear more techno acts in bigger venues in the future. Only complaint was the 45$ cab ride back split only 2 ways.
More quality bookings too please ! |

Corona Sunsets on Saturday:
I have read some complaints on the event page, but personally I have no issues with the way this party was run. I thought it was really well organized, although it'd be interesting to see if there would be any difference if the weather was nice and it was packed. I liked the drink tickets idea - made for smooth lines and (for me) better moderation of drinking, lol. :p But again, easy to say given the low attendance.
The sound was a million times better than at any of the Electric Island parties. Crisp and clear all around, and nice deep + warm undistorted low end. I guess that's what corporate money gets you! It was humpalicious, let me tell you.
Lots of bathrooms (port a potties), separated for men and women, with hand washing stations. Only ty thing was that they were so far away from the beach stage once you were there, but eh, can't really complain about that.
The stage set ups were really cool, especially the griffin stage. Really neat lighting.
Pretty much only caught all of Wolf + Lamb, a bit of Cajmere, and all of Thievery Corporation. All were excellent, unsurprisingly. Just perfect. Arrived shortly after 6 and apparently missed a massive downpour which is good, but missed No Regular Play who I really wanted to hear. Heard they had live instruments and stuff. :/
Now for the lame points:
The ing guy MCing or whatever the over the music. Shut the up dude, Jesus. Moby was absolute garbage. As described by Margs, "Super hyper YOLO ." That is exactly what it was. So glad for having heard proper Moby years ago in Detroit. This was a far cry from that, it was embarrassing. How can a guy wearing a Black Flag tshirt play such embarrassing cheese?? Ugh. Poor Moby.
Lee Foss and his douchey attention whore singer (who I heard was a total mess at Toika, too) also put on a super contrived and embarrassing performance. The whole thing was just so gimmicky, and I honestly was prepared to like it a lot, but nope.
The only good thing about Lee Foss and Moby's sets was when the sounds of the two stages would blend together as you walked between the Griffin and Beach stages, hahaha.
I also read complaints about the female searches, and I wonder if maybe the people complaining about it are blowing it out of proportion? Yeah, the guard definitely put her fingers inside the wire of my bra cup (over my t shirt) - but I actually think that's pretty smart. I have definitely smuggled joints into concerts for years by stuffing them in that exact part of my bra. Anyhow, people are saying crap like "She went UP MY DRESS AND FELT MY BOOBS!" really? Come on. The guard certainly wasn't rude about it, not to me at any rate.
There were complaints about the atms running out of cash too - but I'm not even going to touch that one. Morons.
Over all this party was really fun. The crappy weather actually seemed to weed out a lot of the filler type folks, which is fine with me (we were allowed to bring our umbrellas in, btw). Great crowd, awesome vibes, and mostly killer tunes. 7/10. |
