man i doubt it was the water cos we bought a crateload of bottled stuff from tesco's, but somethin was defos in the air....i've literally never been sicker in the aftermath of a festival and i go to a fair few every year...only started eatin solids properly last night (i've lost over half a stone so far ) and i know i'm not the only one, most of my mates have been ill, and not just 'festival fried up' ill...proper sick.
not really complainin tho...i had the time of me life!
i was pretty ill yesterday. woke up at 5 in the morning with a really sore stomach. spewed 3 times before work and felt like the world was ending all day. back to normal today though. felt fine on Wed night too and make it too kickboxing class as well.
Worst part there was not enough electronica. needs more d n b, more techno, more acid, basically more variety. you had a load of dubstep artist on friday and saturday. its too much. if you wanna do dubstep do a dubstep festival, thats not what i liked about bloc when it started.
Thanks for all your props, comments and criticisms. We read all of this in great detail and take on board everything that you say.
We had another fantastic year and would like to thank you all a million billion times for your continued love and support.
Working as closely as possible with the lovely people @ Butlins, we're constantly making changes and improvements so do continue to tell us what you think and we'll do everything we can to make it even better...
Unbelievably, next year will mark 5 years of the festival and 2011 is already looking like it's going to top the lot...big plans are afoot
sounds good.
what are the chances of getting d and b artist like rockwell and sabre next year?
dbrigd and insra:mental were sick but that was it for good d and b. maybe some Alex Perez and spectrasoul aswell?
and more wonkey techno in jack bloc like the year befor. i think it was radioactiveman lukes anger and jerome hill who closed the jack bloc on the sat last year. more of that!!
other than that was another sick year bloc!
i am still recovering, which means it was good...
Great weekend, well done to the Bloc crew, not as good music wise as last year, but still brilliant.
Best:
early check in, not having to hang around all day
Grandmaster Flash - Stop the hatin' he played a great set, all the classics
Flying Lotus
Salt n Pepa - saw first ten minutes, better than expected, good fun
Yimino
channel one sound system
mixmaster mike
reso vs vent
Worst:
low volume at times
passing out and missing autechre
clash of model 500 and autechre
semi empty rooms...why, last year seemed a lot busier
too much of the same music in every room, love dubstep but too much
The great lack of electro
DJ Hype - shit, bog standard dnb, that hasnt changed in 12/13 years, ltj bukem next year please!
leaving monday...ouch it hurt!
