i think it's definitely a case of what's hot and what's not these days and with techno, it's even more so than ever when you have a headliner. you would have thought under normal circumstances speedy would have been a sure fire winner but then again, scotland is a very very hard place to get something going. and speedy really hasn't been in the headlines too much recently...

well pick yaself up mate, and keep flying that flag. sorry to hear it didnt work out as planned...

ps sure, would be nice for them to drop their fees but when they can easily get 20000 ppl rockin in a party in holland and get paid full whack on a regular basis, you can see why they dont. perhaps it's time to invest more in up and coming local talent and uk names....
aye ive been to 2 dutch parties, Defqon 1 Festival 30,000 and qlimax 25,000.
I have to say these places do fill out, but if ive noticed anything about these mega raves is that not all the people are proper into the choons. Ive seen a fair few of them just there to be there, ie, its qlimax and defqon.

Have to say tho, fair play to the dutch the stage shows and the money put into the events is second to none, gotta be the best in the world and we british i feel are lacking and will always be lacking i think behind them in terms of dance music in all forms being more accepted throughout the younger and and older generations...
