how was your bloc weekend?

Post by bilbo »

had a wicked weekend bit frustrating at times (freezing cold showers, the bloc bus leaving late, thus missing our train home and being stuck in london for 10 hours)

the venue was obscure, it was like it was trying to hold on to some sort of 70s caboray???

my highlights for friday:
ttc they fully rocked it!
dmx was propa good, played some phat ravey tech towards the end of his set
ceefax, really fun times! raw 303 with 909!!!

saturday:
plastician played some phat tunes and his mixing was spot on!
vex'd were well good they had every one raving
chris clark killed it! played some wicked mentalism (i got some funny looks from people for raving a bit hard, fuck them, he was propa good!)
muziq was sick! hes got an intresting style, played some twisted noise at the end :D !!!
autechre were absolutely blinding, they have no ego driven music and made me feel compleately at peace.
wish i saw more of universal indicator :cry: but it ending up clashing with autechre, i herd it took him up to 2 hours to set his analogue gear!!!
saw a little bit of rob hall, wouldnt of minded to see him on the tecbloc tho
and tim exile was a fun, but his mic was gliching and poping.

sunday had to chill out a bit, loefahs set was nice to bob to and the anvantrual guys had me raving.

other bits: aux 88 were a bit disapointing, i was hoping that they would bring loads of analogue shit but they didnt, and it sounded really softsynth.
some of the tech was verging towards breakbeat which in my opinion isnt that good. but fair play to every one that enjoyed it.

apart from feeling the cold the shit traveling situation, and the bassbloc stinking of sweaty cider piss it was propa good!

Best party ever, Universal Indicator the best experience ever on a party. Sick acid. But I have to say every single set I heard was top quality.
