So not all that long really until the summer festival season kicks off again, I really cant wait to be danceing in a field again at 3.00am to a kick ass dj or band!



So far I have only booked to go to Isle of Wight, which should be great with the Prodigy and Coldplay. Also hopeing to attend hifi as the line up looks full on for noth days, global gathering as I really do want to see the punks and maybe summercase for chemica reasons.



Was wondering what you guys and gals are attending and if you have herd any strong rumors with headliners and bands playing at the festivals over the summer. Lets hope Ed and Tom make some appearences here and there!

well, with glastonbury missing it feels like theres a big gap this year in the festie season.



going to go to ibiza loves at the end of june on glastonbury weekend, if its still happening, has been very quiet on the promo front, but i know that theyre making it a 'local' festival, so i dunno if that has a bearing on anything.



possibly go to bestival in september, but i got mates getting married in france mid sept o again, i dunno if ill have the finances.



wanted to do the glade again, thats such a quality festival, but im not gonna have the dollar after ibiza. and if theres a potential chems mission as well, then i def wont be able to afford it.



been to homelands too many times to go again now, but whats the 2 day thing all about? i know its on the same site, but are they having camping and shit?

If you can't do Glade, do Global. Had a real blast there last year, especially in the Carl Cox tent.



But seriously, dude, how can you miss the Glade? 8O

There's an annual festival up the road from me called "Splendour in the Grass" in July. Never been though. The lineup is generally just not quite good enough for my tastes + it's expensive (2 days) and the weather is pretty shit even for this area. Hope this year is different! :D

Am gonna go to hifi on day two the sunday.



Fatboy at Global Gathering sounds good too.



Defo gonna do SW4 & Get Loaded in the park on Clapham Common.

At the moment I don't feel like doing any festivals :?

festivals are bollox. the one time i paid for a ticket and did it "general public" style i was appaled. over here any way the festival goers are treated like shit!



i have the good fortune of having enough hook ups to be able to be comfortable if i choose to go to one but jesus i dont know what id do if i had to shit in a plastic box all weekend!!! :?



im only going to summercase, benicasim, and electric picnc this year, the latter being in ireland im going to hire a 4x4 drive down and sleep in the car.

Oh yeah... Oxygen fest, Chem'd up! My god, how angry you were when you came back to post after-the-fact.



Didn't it involve frozen peas or some kind of food stuff being chucked into someone else's tent? I remember you got back at the offenders pretty good. X-D

ah whirly you memory is excellent!!!!



yes,frozen pea and sweetcorn mix,coke,and water all over their shit!



anyone that is parked beside me at electric picnic beware, DO NOT play gabber trance at 3am......(unless i am)

i fear this may be true





my new found love for the 1000 bpm stratashpere may cause me to do that....... :?

found this definition of speedcore :D



Speedcore is a form of hardcore techno that is typically identified by its high rate of beats per minute and aggressive themes. Tracks can range from 250 BPM all the way up to 1000 BPM and above (there is some debate around a genre called extratone, in which the music must be 1000 BPM or above and is soaked in noise. Some say it doesn't exist while others feel it surpasses speedcore in intensity). Unlike other styles of aggressive dance music like gabber, the high rate of BPM makes Speedcore less accessible as a danceable genre, although most fans of the genre headbang and mosh to the music.



The typical speedcore track is characterized by a general anti-music and anti-establishment sentiment. The music is angry, aggressive and often attempts to foster an atmosphere of hostility for the listener. Speedcore DJs push the boundaries of electronic dance music and often use offensive themes in their music to create such extremes.



While most speedcore artists are content to attack the normal standards of music, or even the gabber music that spawned them, the extremism of speedcore has caused some to turn inwards and parody the standards of the genre. Much like how happy hardcore relates to gabber and hardcore techno, these songs utilize samples of lighter and more manic themes, like Bing Crosby and Futurama, to create their extreme sound.

defo going bestival this year!
