Check that line up! :)
Tent's been dusted off, wellys are packed, bring it on!!
Funny you should say that, after reading the Que Club Thread I went and checked the next Atomic Jam and saw this festival. Would love to see what Thomas Schumacher is all about, the Techno Line-Up does look good.....
But alas after 10 days in Barcelona for Sonar dont think the wallet is gonna hack it. And the main event website left me cold....................
Sounds like and advert on local radio =)
me me me, well i want to go but need a lift, still waiting for my mate to confirm (by tomoz or else:grr: ) looked into the train but cant aford it

Matt - I'll be there at the front when you're playing, hopefully manage to splat you between the eyes with a lump of mud :oicamereyou:
dont look like i can go, although i havent given up hope yet
And there`s me thinking those boys were here for years in london, banging it out in london at the free parties and underground do`s, forging a sound through the mid 90`s that could be almost exclusively linked to the london free party scene.Quote:

hahaha ok i'm on a 2pm. see y'll there.
well, actually, i won't be seeing you there. unfortunately the stage got cancelled. bah what a downer, especially as i'd left ground zero in holland early to get and a plane and drive down to this. i was actually about 40 minutes away when i was told about it so thought *uk it, turned round, drove back to leeds and am about to go to the pub for a cheeky sunday pint. :cheese:
i hope those of you that went enjoyed it..
hearin it was disaster half tents bein cacelled djs pulled etc etc glad i never went!
i don't recognise many names on there.
did anyone get down there? how did it go?
My mate went and she told me they got off at noon yesterday.
Said there was no shows all over the shop, they couldn't be arsed with it so didn't bother hanging round.
Sounds like a shambles by all accounts, she's gutted she chose this over Glade now.
sounds like a disaster!!! not good.
there are a lot of other festies on these days and the glade was this month also.....bit of risk really....
I was there all weekend and I've gotta say it was a disaster from the very beginning. Every indoor stage was empty during the day as there was only 3000 or so people at the whole event, who rightly lapped up the outdoor Psy Trance in the sun - barely any of the big Techno names turned up once told they would not be getting paid, so if you went to see the likes of Adam Beyer, Technasia, DJ Rush, Valentino Kanzyani you would have been very dissapointed.
The people that did turn up - Marco Bailey, DJ Murphy, Fergie, Josh Wink, Thomas Schumacher were forced to play at such a ridiculously low level due to the sound restrictions once it got dark that it really wasn't worth it and made a bit of a mockery of the whole event (bad site planning) - the council wanted it shut down Fri nite and obviously had the excuse they needed too SUnday lunchtime after the medics and security walked when they found out there was no money to pay them... Such a shame as this had big potential...
****:whoops:
thats harsh.
glad i didnt go. but its a sign of the times.
all uk festivals are shit really anyway. sound levels just take the piss these days
Blimey
Glade is wicked. Can't fault Glade.
Its got better every year so far. Fingers crossed the weather improves....
enrico (the promoter) isn't a bad guy. i think he just got a little bit out of his depth and after knowing the ticket sales were low, it was either pull the event or put it on and hope. i went down knowing i wasn't going to get paid but sadly was told it was off 40 mins from the venue. i think the situation is here is enrico has tried to do a serious music festival but got certain things to do with promotion wrong. fair play to him for trying but i really do feel for those that spent money on a ticket and felt they got a raw deal. i thnk iit's just one of those things. if it was me i wouldn't try to put a gig on like this without first being a little more recognised as a name out of london.Quote:

Still - most people I knew there were having a good time regardless and obviously Enrico truely was trying to put on an outstanding party. I'm reviewing the event for IDJ mag and will try and look at the positives, but having scanned a lot other forums today it seems like there are a LOT of unhappy people who splashed out for their tickets...
hahah

if we'd known there'd be as little techno (and as quiet) we would def not have bothered. - murphy though........ wow!!! scratchin the deck like a guitar - top stuff respect!!!
ya live and learn :-(
sounds like the worst organised even in a long time. I know a few people who went and are extremely disapointed. An event of this magnitude should not be relying on the majority of door sales to pay its artists after advertising such big names, poor do that
You win some you lose some...
We tried to have a good time anyway but for what it cost it was impossible not to be diappointed. Well done the people who came and played for free, my respect for Fergie went up another notch for playing several hours to a virtually abandoned tent for nothing. I didn't realise Marco Bailey or DJ Murphy went ahead with it though, nobody had the remotest clue who was still playing and where...
Shit happens :whoops:
:laughing: :laughing:Quote:

surely thats a joke?
if it is its hillarious.
it its seriously a mistake. its even better:laughing:
hahaha that just about sums up the event for me really
me thinks this was a money making attempt gone horribly wrong
Your'e right, noone knew who was on or where at any point other than Sat on the main psy stage which seemed to be totally unaffected by the whole fiasco.Quote:

Manik were a part of this?Quote:

Well they were supplying the sound in one of the tents - believe me they had nothing to do with it going tits up whatsoever. Two reasons as far as I could see -
1. Not enough tickets sold to get anywhere near financing the ambitious lineup they promised.
2. Bad location - the council were obviously uneasy about this from the start and the night time noise restrictions were a joke.

he's got a bad habit of not paying and not respecting ( did anyone hear about them emptying the loos into the local river????)
and to be honest that is why i was not on the bill
i will not play for him

Thats a damning indictment.Quote:
