A set with no bass was just a joke. The outside area they had the speakers setup wrong so there was a really bad phaseing problems, why they didn’t fix it at all I dunno. I couldn’t stand being near the outside area as you heard 3 kicks each time. Weather was way to hot for me to be out in all day:( felt so rough cos of the heat, then at night time was freezing in my tent! Didn’t know the festival 'stops' at 4 and comes back on the next day at 1, wtf? Got so bored trying to find any kind of decent music:( that Shitmat is the biggest joke iv seen, but isnt even funny. Couldn’t wait to get back to london and sit down and have a cold beer.

Never going again.
Jesus, sounds like you should stay mainly at home. I honestly cant beleive anyone who was there could moan about the weather, those were possibly the best 4 consecutive days of british weather that I have experienced in the 9 years I've been living here! Fair dos though, I like the heat, but of course some people cant stand it.

And although the bass may well have been turned down, I can assure you there was bass. I was shaking my butt to it front and center while Speedy J ripped it up. And Carl Craig, and Richie Hawtin, who were both awesome.

Still, if you are into techno, and nothing but purist techno, I suppose you might have found it boring. I loved it for the variety though, I dont normally listen to alot of the stuff I checked out there, but its a good laugh from time to time to branch out a bit. The phasing on that outdoor rig was really shit though, I dont understand how they could not have noticed that it sucked while they were setting it up. The trick was to get right in the middle, it was actually decent sound if you were a similar distance from eath stack.
