Sound system?
Sound system?
are they using the same sound system(s) as last year?
The tecbloc rig will remain pretty much the same - it sounded great and the room is already well sound proofed.
In the bassbloc, the outer doors on the far side of the room have now been renewed and more sound proofing has been done, so we should be able to run the system on full power all weekend. We will also be positioning the rig in different parts of the room to fill the larger space with bass without pissing off local residents.
As with too many festivals in the UK these days, issues with sound are usually caused by restrictions which have to be imposed on the systems (due to complaints and environmental health) rather than by the rigs themselves.
Holding the entire festival indoors is a big advantage with this though (it's how we manage to run the main rooms rght up til 6am) and the sound systems for BLOC come on 2 articulated lorries.
so fear not...

What a troll attempt! What the hell is a Funktion Two system anyway? Funktion one is a brand. They make mutiple configurations of speakers but not one called Funktion Two that I know of. I haven't heard anywhere what system they are using at Bangface actually. If I get a ticket I hope it's better than the one at Eletrowerkz. That can be a bit poo sometimes.They have funktion two at bangface weekender, lucky cunts.
I would be interested to know what Funktion one system is being used at Bloc as it hasn't been mentioned? Is it the Dance Stack?
The Funktion One system at Corsica absolutely blows me away everytime I go! Bassy as hell, Loud but somehow never piercing or distorted. (Basically perfect!) Bring on the Bloc!

Nah Tony from fk1's son split away from the company and started knocking out pink fk2 bins at half price, then, Corsica studios got shut down (last night) when they found out room 3 used to be an abbatoir and was sourcing human flesh from hackney dog owners market on carpenters road, and then, selling it to kebab mans and jerk chicken racists on camberwell new road.
Mans from euston student halls set up a Corsica 2 in clapham and have been pumping out bare dubtek from their ohm smakstaks and even
have their own pirate radio station now.
Dunno if bloc want you to know but adam beyer has released a new EP on m_nus entitled 'bloc festival didn't pay me for my 4 hour set in 2007' and Magda has been caining it on her new friday night radio 1 slot.
I heard last night, however, that bangface will be using squarepusher's new binary cabs he designed over the summer after his loathing for funktion 1 became public at glade. I heard him miss two notes on 'the modern bass guitar' but that mix with jeff mills' the bells was safe.
