Awakenings 2008

[Numeric]

Awakenings was amazin, they sure know how to put on a show and properly, spent most of the day in the Y tent, Kenny Larkin played a sick set, what i saw of Derrick May was poundin, caught Grindvik's PA which was quality, the start of Beyer's set was sick until i got dragged off elsewhere, caught the start and end of Mulero & Wunch who pounded it to f**k, and finished the night watchin Ben Sims who was as awesome as ever :)

caught DJ Bone playin an absolute belter to finish his set too, was gutted i didn't hear more of him, deffo gonna download that set, also saw bits of Gayle San, Marco Carola and the end of Andreas Kramer who was basically playin hardcore techno :lol:

missed PET Duo though which was a bit devastating

here are some pics



Gayle San bangin the very hard techno early doors

you know i know this...

I seen him in feb sure.
but he is such a good dj very creative.
i missed him twice at awakenings so at least ill see him now this month

[djfilthmonger]

i found andreas kreamer wasnt hardcore, it was just durty techno. a step durtier then anything esle that was there.
i cant stand hardcore myself,

[Numeric]

mate, the end of his set must have been about 170 bpm, it was nuts :lol:

[Frank Dogshit]

170bpm....is there really any point in this at a techno festival? shitebags

[djfilthmonger]

170bpm....is there really any point in this at a techno festival? shitebags

I dont think it was dat fast man,. it was abt 160-165 bpm.
still do i reckon he whomped it out,
i do think speed of music doesnt mean its harder.


and thats the best thing about awakenings festival , its not just minimal techno, It had everything. so regardless of the speed of there set, there was something for everyone

[Numeric]

it was 165-170 then :lol:

but yeah, there was great variety, at the time Kramer was on elsewhere you had Carola playin minimal, Ortin Cam, The Advent or Mulero & Wunch to choose from so pretty much all tastes were catered for

or people who dont gurn that much. youd be suprised how many do them nights there straight. fair play to them.

got word that they were taking peoples weed off them on the way into the festival this year? thats shite,they never used to do that...the new mayor that has come in is one serious spoilsport it seems.

my mate got weed taken off him,. I just put everything in my hand , put my hands up and they padded me down and that was it,
trust me man in Ireland its very tough to get things in anywhere.
i found the secuirty at this a piece of piss to be honest, they didnt seem to bothered.
did same at the after party also
