Wicked, wicked, wicked weekend! Fucking loved all of it. Still recovering though and will be on a downer for a week, back to normality with a bang. Can't wait for next year. Gutted i missed DJ Rephlex Records, was passed it by then, did his set get recorded?

The last 10 or so tracks he slipped in a few classics yes, but all the other tracks were like, wow, I want that.

I forgot to say about sleeparchive. I have never seen or heard anything as boring in my whole life. Bitterly disappointed, I thought it was a wind up. I was watching in the chalet and just had to go down to see it if it was for real. A guy standing behind a laptop, almost motionless apart from drinking water, playing the most boring minimal, repetitive noises ever. Bleugh.

Whole weekend was awesome, painful, entertaining, surreal, and hilarious.

Bottle of gin for breakfast on Sunday, followed by playing to a rammed Smashbloc stage was great fun (cheers to everyone who came down for Digitonal & AGT Rave Cru - was surprised and well chuffed at just how many ravers were going mental at 3pm in the afternoon on both Sat and Sun)

Milanese totally rocked it. Amon Tobin dropping "Arigami Style" by Zilla absolutely destroyed the place, moment of the weekend for me.

Punters were excellent, great vibes all round, kudos to those who made the effort to dress up in Sunday Best or as part of the MarioKart crew. Also massively impressed at Bloc crew, background organisation and stage management was top notch.

Hemsby-upon-Sea was like stepping back into a 1970's ghost town. oddness.

only lowpoints were a massively disappointing UR, and there was far too much uber-dull over-serious gloomy dubstep (Scorn in particular was atrocious)

also, two days later, my ears havent stopped ringing, brain-splittingly loud monitors on th Smashbloc stage. ooof.

Looking back at the programme it just reads like a big list of people I completely failed to see. Still a great weekend anyway.

AGT and Shelley Parker are about the only 2 I remember with any clarity, both great :D

Definitely be back next year.....

Yeah he was wicked :D We made the effort to wander out again for him after chilling at the chalet for a bit. First tune I heard was Butterslut so I couldn't move after that - god knows where I got the energy from though :lol:

I'm still trying to remember other highlights. Definitely Ben Sims/Tyree Cooper, and Joey Beltram was cool too. Once I've remember some more I'll be back :lol:
