The Ninja Tune DJ's were astonishingly good. Mixmaster Morris is
a genius on the decks, and anyway is it really that important?

Global Communication have never played a live set in my experience (I've seen

MMM, fuckin GENIUS! Wishmountain, hilarious and funky, once again. My other
favourites - they guy in the middle of the Stealth night (Mr Sho'nuff ?),
Bukem once they fixed the sound, was inspirational, as always, and also
Another Fine Day playing live and totally chilling us out in the sun.
